The spammers and trolls are taking over /s/ as of late and I can't sage more than once every 5 minutes. What the fuck? The text body is different, so why is it being detected as a flood?
I don't know how to use that fancy BBS quote thing that you used, so here they are by point:
1. I have nothing to add.
2. How about a "5-10 reports, post deleted" system or something like vote banning? Granted some is bound to figure out an exploit.
3. Figure of speech. The janitors probably don't give a shit right now because they can't keep up with the shit being posted, so they sit back and watch/do nothing.
