Here is @AOU identifying the latest hystereichal alt: https://poal.co/s/Introductions/699379/8b8796eb-85d0-4a0e-9bf5-137bc3c1c83f#cmnts

Personally I think it’s necessary, but I could see how this could create issues down the line.

Who decides which users are acting in bad faith? If IDing alts is fair game, then what else?

IMO it’s easily justifiable when the user in question is hystereichal. I’ve been calling out his alts on sight and it’s been fun watching him seethe every time his game is uncovered. But is an admin doing it an unfair advantage?

What do you all think?

The problem with auto-blocking IPs is it’s easy to work around. Once the Israeli shills figure out their IP is auto-blocked on Poal then using a VPN becomes their standard operating procedure. They already probably do that in most cases.

I probably shouldn’t have let slip that Hystereichal’s country IP was known, but it’s so obvious anyway.

Yeah, I’m of the opinion that spotting them by their behavior is the best way. It’s impossible to circumvent, unlike any automated measures.
