They’re all sent by a handful of recently created accounts.

Should there be an admin approval system for first posts, or something similar to slow down such attempts?

          Shadowbans require constant moderation and can easily be abused by ‘powermods’ to silence objective opinions.

          That’s one of the reasons reddit is so awful.
