Or you can go full Reddit and just block anything that seems even remotely suspicious.
Your sibling, roommate, neighbor that uses your internet, previous IP owner, posts too much? You get blocked too.
Using VPN? Blocked.
Your iPhone is too old, blocked.
Your screen brightness too low? Believe or not, blocked.
My forum got scraped so hard that the ISP blackholed the IPv4 several times a week.
I've ended up putting only IPv6 on the domain. It's running this way for 2 years already.
It's fun to log in with a banned Reddit account on a shared IP, which bans every other Reddit login on the same IP.
Even worse, not blocked, shadowbanned.
Parks and Rec reference?
I quit reddit because of all of this nonsense. After 15 years on reddit, my life has been much better for quitting it. Reddit is a cesspool.
