Short term solution: Ban account 1podgirl.
I like the idea of prohibiting posting of articles until karma reaches a certain threshold, and limiting the amount of comments/hour by karma. So,
for karma < 10
comments/hour = 1
for karma >= 10
comments/hour = karma/10

- curi 19y agoi don't think you should force people to post comments. just rate limit their link submissions until they get 50 karma.
- kajecounterhack 19y agoI agree...actually nobody should be allowed to submit 10 in an hour!
- dmoney 19y agoAn alternative to a normal ban would be to put identified spam accounts into a sandbox mode, where it looks to the account holder like its submissions are working, but everybody else doesn't see them. That way it doesn't start seeing errors and think, "Oh, time to create another account."
