@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.

      Maybe, but what’s the alternative? Other trolls seeing this vulnerability and just letting it run?

      I would venture that these assholes just want maximum carnage. Requiring admin approval for a few days while a fix is pushed would mitigate that carnage.

        I mean, purging them likely isn’t taking that much admin time?

        One click, and bam, all their communities, usernames, etc. etc. are gone.
