    More just checking in that these are being monitored/banned quickly. There has been a large number of accounts registered for a few years suddenly becoming active again on the war threads, sometimes they last a few days, other times, banned within a few posts (usually of the "give peace a chance" variety). It's clearly either one dedicated weirdo or something more organised, grumpyperson is the latest.

    Also checking on the need to give them a chance due to their obviousness.

    Also presume the re-reg etc. tools are MIA on vanilla (and ok to say nothing if there is something actually happening there).

    When reported these are reviewed. Very few are established to be sock-puppets or alt accounts of banned users

    Please continue reporting suspicions though

    What I think is happening is there are a few storylines that are encouraging some people to get back and start posting again. Now some of them may well be people that only want to stir things, but so far I am not seeing many doing that

    And yes our tools are not as strong as on the old platform, but knowing my way around what we do have does make it easier to spot particular individuals
