    If you can detect it, you could auto ban them, no?

    I think a rule against serial reposting would be fine and, probably, popular.

      Isn’t that just a client side filter, would be up to whoever runs the community/instance rules for handling bot accounts, and if they feel the accounts should be banned.

        Yes the screenshot is just the user settings. Admins are going to have to manually designate accounts as reposters because I haven’t even tried to make an automated detection. That would be very hard to get right.

          How is this any different to a user blocking them directly? What a useless feature.

          Edit: Really? Trying to mark me as a bot or possibly dox my IP by visiting your link because I thought it was a bad idea?
