This user https://stackoverflow.com/users/4677723/sissy-girl is the same user that was banned here a few days ago https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28950000/guys-hello-i-need-to-check-my-code-cause-i-dont-know-whats-wrong-can-anyone-h

If you visit the blog linked from their profile (http://gibberishstack.blogspot.com.br/search?updated-min=2015-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2016-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=8) you can see they are a serial SO troll.

They have answered a number of old questions in the last few minutes. All of which have been instantly upvoted. I suspect by the same user with a second account.

Not sure what they are up but maybe worth somebody with a ban hammer keeping an eye out. ๏_๏

    You should be flagging their content if someone is doing something inappropriate, not posting on meta.

    They haven't actually done anything flaggable yet since re-creating the account. I decided to post here after reading this post meta.stackexchange.com/a/66445/180262 where posting here was suggested. As far as I can see there isn't any other way of reporting something like this

  • @uʍopǝpısdn You don't think that creating accounts to subvert a ban or voting fraud is "anything flaggable"? If you suspect either of those things it most certainly merits a flag. It's also something that should be handled in private between you and the mods, not out in public.

  • @Servy I think that the 'new version' of the member hadn't posted yet.

  • They had posted but what they posted seemed legitimate. Ok @servy you are right. I think it would make sense though to have a "flag this user" link on the user account page too as this is what I wanted to do, rather than flag a specific post

  • @SabreTooth If they hadn't then there wouldn't be any problems to flag. The problem is that, "They have answered a number of old questions in the last few minutes. All of which have been instantly upvoted. I suspect by the same user with a second account." So yes, the second account had been posting.

    @uʍopǝpısdn If they're subverting a suspension and committing voting fraud then those are things that merit reporting. You simply need to make it clear in your flag what you feel the problem is.

Yeah, it's a troll. They've been targeting me for the last few weeks with code snippets that draw dicks (which amazingly few people even noticed), suggested edits like this, and user accounts named Brad Larson that completely copy my profile. It's been moderately entertaining to destroy my own accounts.

It's also been a great opportunity to find inattentive reviewers to ban, I'll tell you that.

If you see other accounts like this, flag them and we'll feed them into the anti-troll system. That should hopefully block them after a while.

    I noticed but the code snippet made me laugh. Looks like you've got a little fan club forming Brad.

    The endgame here is to someday trick you into deleting your own account, I just know it.

  • Lul, they are still suggesting such edits, not on your posts though :D

    @nicael - And someone just earned themselves a review ban.
