- sbarre 9y agoYep, this is easily the best way to deal with people who are committed to messing with an online community.. Make them think they're still having an impact when they're not.. I believe HN does something similar but I ran a small forum back in the early 2000s and we could flag one or more people into groups where their posts were only visible to each other, but not to anyone else. Since the site was invite-only, there was no anonymous access so they had no practical way of finding this out on their own. Eventually they got bored of "being ignored" and left on their own..

- bitwize 9y agoBlizzard has another cool anti-cheat tactic that's deployed alongside cheating bans. Remember that old story about how ITS had a command to crash the system to take the fun out of crashing the system? In Overwatch, one character's Ultimate is basically an aimbot; another's is basically a wallhack.
