There are Charcoal Commands, you can use !!/scan <URL> to check a specific post to see if it would be caught. You are also welcome to visit the Charcoal Chat to report spam and abuse. We will be happy to help you with those topics (flag on the site for a moderator for other issues). Currently both the links in your question are deleted so it's not possible for most people to examine the unknown account. This is why it's helpful to report in Charcoal Chat, they can watch the user's activity.

| Dec 8, 2019 at 2:36 | comment | added | Rob | Question titles (on the same site) are one place where duplication can not occur. Every title must be different, while body and tags can be identical. Put another way, if they want to make two posts they need two titles. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 2:11 | comment | added | forest distrusts StackExchange | From the network, similarity in post titles is not used as any kind of red flag. Terms in the titles or body would have to be added manually for detection. I don't believe there is any kind of automation which detects this situation and handles it. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 2:09 | comment | added | Andrew Grimm | @TheforestofReinstateMonica In this particular post, I wasn't saying that "refute" was indicative of trolling, I was saying that it was indicative of one question being similar to another question. | |
| Dec 8, 2019 at 2:07 | comment | added | forest distrusts StackExchange | Every site has its trolls. The best thing to do is to flag them. Terms like "refute" are not indicative of trolling on a site like Skeptics. It's too generic of a term. It may be useful to create a single canonical question and link all these questions as duplicates rather than assuming that they are coming from trolls. | |
