Sonas has been reported to be messaging people to email Mr B at bvcreekfarm@​aol.com to buy various rare yoyos.
ubniversal siilarly sent messages to contact Jace via rezztaph@yahoo.com saying he has the G2 AL7 Triton to part with

I thought that seemed fishy earlier when this Sonas character messaged me twice for 2 different wtb posts.

Are mods able to get alerts when someone you’ve flagged creates an account using the same IP? If not that should definitely be a Discourse feature

I can practically hear the Amongus imposter sound from all the way across the universe…

[jhb8426 (Resident Curmudgeon)]

No, it’s a manual process. Basically I look at all new accounts checking the IP and email, primarily looking for spammers. Duplicate accounts show up in the process.
