@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.

Unfortunately that would mean that real communities wouldn't be created since that would be used up by someone creating spam communities. Though, maybe limiting the amount of communities that could be made by one account in a certain amount of time? What about verification by email (to send a coherent reason) to the admins to create a community.

I was meaning five per day for a given user. That's why I said that would be plenty for most individuals - most people aren't legitimately going to want to create more than five communities in a day, and for them it wouldn't be a hardship to wait a day for another five. But for people like this guy, trying to flood the instance with endless/pointless communities, it would cut that down to a manageable number.

Oh πŸ˜… I'm sorry for misunderstanding. 5 communities per day in a week is 35 communities, which I also thought was a lot. Where do we send our suggestions to the admins though?

I asked that question a while back and was told to use their git site.
