Okay. Looking through the comments, it doesn't appear that you actually have anything here other than it pisses you off. But is it a problem? You're phrasing this like cm0002 is evading bans and he isn't. If he's making new accounts and that annoys you then that sucks but... why do the admins need to get involved with this? You said you want to have him permabanned from an instance? Why?

You can check who voted for a post by the way. Cm0002 doesn't vote for himself. I have checked in the past when I first started noticing his username a lot myself. Hell, I thought he was irritating as hell for a while myself too. I guess I'm biased in the sense that I know the dude and would call him a friend but even then, I'm not seeing anything demonstrating that action needs to actually be taken by anyone.

I get being annoyed with people. But saying that this is bad faith and worthy of having the entire username banned from the entire fucking instance seems like a massive overreach. One so far that I would just outright avoid ever posting to that instance ever again because that admin would be tripping balls and power.

I have a similar setup here. Isn't ban evasion more effective when you don't reuse a username? Also I see this person's posts on the top most days, what exactly are they getting banned for?

I'm using multiple instance handles like they're subreddit clusters, which is why I didn't bother changing my name. Seems like something that people who check a lot of different comms of different sizes do

Ban evading, but using the same name.

ROFL. Not a lot of logic in that accusation I’d say.

The cm bot also blindly reposts content. There have been a number of times it has posted something or has already shared in the same community, or what they posted was cross posted to an ml community and they shared it back to the original community.

Whether it really is a bot or not, it acts like an unmarked bot account.

I always sort by new, so if I see a post from a cm_bot I know if I scroll a little bit I will see the original. And since I have almost all ml communities blocked I see it on other instances already.
