I see *plenty* of legit users with auto-generated names. And 2 minutes one time for thousands upon thousands of spam accounts is nothing. This is a dumb complaint that is just complaining to complain.

If you actually want to give Reddit a hard time, about the fact that they still haven't figured out how to catch people who post the same link 1000 times an hour with a brand new account? Or the fact that user pages are 99% of the time used for spam which nobody can touch except AEO which is basically completely automated and ineffective? Or how difficult they make it to report subreddits that only exist to spam? Or the fact that /r/freekarma4u and garbage like that exists even though it takes only a cursory glance to realize the entire subreddit and just spambots? Or the fact that users can go back and delete a post which was removed, thus hiding it from their post history and basically everywhere except the mod log?

EDIT: Or the fact that like 90% of the shadowbanned users in my subs are totally legit users with no idea why they're shadowbanned, polluting my mod queue and confusing people?

Oh, those are issues *too*. This is just one that caught my eye after having to Shadowban like 20+ accounts in the last three days or so.
