- andreyf 18y agoHow about banning an IP of a user if the account reaches less than -3 karma?
- pg 18y agoThe current code does ban accounts that get below a certain threshold. I try to be more careful about banning ips, since they're not identical with individuals. Usually I like banning an ip to require a decision by a human. But I'm writing code right now to rate-limit comments by new accounts, which will minimize the amount of damage someone can do before humans notice.
