Block them.
If you deport them, they'll know it. They'll create a new name and come back and shill some more. If you block them, they'll be talking in a vacuum.
Just my two cents.

I don't get why we don't have a handshake account quarantine.
I agree! Shills are all about instant gratification, so I think it would greatly reduce the shill posts.
Plus, it would help newbies to lurk for a while and learn how things work around here before starting to make posts. I also think that would be good for the overall flow of the board.
Lots of handshake accounts here in the last two weeks. Either refugees from TD or shills. I would definitely appreciate a quarantine for creating posts until they earned upvotes.
Even just a low barrier, to have one. +20 would make 'em work for it.
On voat you had to earn 100 credit points before being allowed to create a post. And any upvotes on QRV didn't count. The shills were there anyway, but at least it helped a little.
I’m new here and would have no problem with this.
Hmm. Great idea! But it is met with complete silence by the mods whenever asked.
If mods have since answered why they are not doing it, my apologies.
I haven't seen them answer this, either.
