I'd have to say, nice job of sabotage... moronic actually

I saw that earlier post. I can see how it could easily become a problem with people deporting posts for trivial reasons, and burying mods as a result.
If there was a way to disable the deport/report link for people that abuse it, that might help keep the deports down to a manageable level...
Otherwise, maybe disable the deport link for everyone and rely on mods to do all the deporting themselves... that could end up being a lot of work for the mods though.
That makes sense. The bare-bones functionality increases the workload on the mods to try to keep up with the shill attacks, and causes burn-out.
Maybe it would be better to use email addresses as usernames during sign up (many sites do this). That would make it more difficult for shills to rapidly create new accounts after they get deported. Not impossible, just more difficult and time consuming for them.
Probably too late to add that sort of major change though - which means GA will likely implode under the attacks of all the shills as a result. That is too bad... I have enjoyed this site a lot over the past months.
Agreed. Thanks very much for your efforts as a mod previously. It will be up to the crew that builds and maintains the various win sites going forward. I hope they can find a solution before it is too late.
