Over the past few days , possibly longer, someone has been making new accounts and using them to post scat porn in various communities here. Like, gifs of poop coming from buttholes.

What the fuck and can we do something about it?

    Honestly these type of scat spamming has been really discouraging on me. I spend time and money so that the community can have a reliable and nice instance to call home, only to have a few (not sure what to call them) people try to ruin it for everyone. If these people are reading this comment, just know that every time you make these kinds of unwanted posts you are taking my time away from my family and young kids to address the reports.

    My nights lately have been mostly used for coding some extra moderation tools that will moderate these in the future.

    I sincerely apologize for all of you who have been exposed to literal shit images over the last week. I’m working as fast as I can and will implement something soon.

    In the meanwhile i’ve added a few new admins to help with this moderation.

      Thanks for being the Dude, my dude. Sorry for the static.

      Take breaks when you need to. This is new to all of us.

      You’re appreciated

      You and your family come first. I really appreciate all you do to make this instance available and work, but if this ever becomes a burden rather than a pleasure, I truly hope you will step away.

      You are appreciated, TheDude. I’m sorry you have to sacrifice family time putting out fires, that’s not right. There is definitely a wave of communities making an effort to recruit volunteer mods. Unfortunately, they need experienced mods and those that fit the bill seem…burnt-out? Weary? I volunteered as an mod for one and they said, thanks, love your attitude, do you speak Ukrainian? :) What else can a Lemmit do to help?

      Thanks for helping! I’ve been trying to remove/ban people from my community when I see it get reported.

      Thank you for spending your personal time and money on SJW. We appreciate it! Make sure your family and your own well-being come first, though. Those are way more important than us random people on the internet.

      Also, don’t get burned out! Take care of your mental health. You’re doing the Lord’s work, He will prosper YOUR work and provide you what you need to fight evil.
