Thanks! I wasn't actually expecting anything to happen so quickly. Thank you, mods like yourself are the reason why these subs are still kicking.

Not that you'll do anything about it, but please investigate the guy incessantly posting in Chicago.
Which guy, and what do you want me to do?
Just search F4M Chicago and you'll see the same guy posting 90% of the posts. Idk what you can do about it, he changes names. Ban his IP address idk
Exactly; even if IP bans worked (mine changes at least 4 times a day), AFAIK reddit doesn't use them, and lowly mods certainly wouldn't have access if they did.
As you say, they're new usernames every time, with slight variations - probably the single most identifying feature linking them is that they're all in Chicago - obviously Chicagoans are also the ones most likely to be able to identify the problem because a) they're looking in Chicago so further patterns will be more obvious; b) they're more likely to reach out because of a; and c) they're in a much better position to decide for themselves because of a and b.
tl;dr mods are powerless to do much more than educate people to spot the fakes and warn others; mods really aren't in a position to either detect them, or stop them even if we could. Every sub faces the exact same problems.
Welcome to reddit.
Wait, so when I'm banned from a sub and they threaten to ip ban if I use another username to bypass it, that's a completely empty threat?
Not that I would constantly barrage a sub with endless alts. One ban is usually enough if I'm in a trolling mood, and only for shitty subs that deserve it. Just a question.
Yep I'm getting reports of this Chicago spammer almost every day over at r/dirtyr4r and r/chicagor4r. It's pretty much impossible for me to filter out that user since every username and post is different in content :(
Hey, maybe since you can't ban trolls or scammers or pic collectors, you could have a sticky post detailing good practices for safely verifying someone is who they say they are? That way troll etc. damage is minimized
Shadow ban them using automod.
Would something about "working them over with a lead pipe" be too much to ask for?
Just kidding. I don't even know "Joe from Chicago!"
