@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

    Right. Effectively you DOS the site admins this way, making it hard for actual community set up.

    But if you combine it with rate limiting, email verification, and a captcha, maybe it can be slowed to a manageable crawl.
