Multiple new accounts popped up and started covering up everyone's art near the city of Kraków, using randomly scaled copies of just two pictures, one of which is AI-generated garbage.

They seem to be bots, and they're definitely multi-accounting because many of their account IDs are all very close together.

Reports don't seem to be doing anything, so I had to make a post about it here. In fact, users who tried to fight back against them appear to all be banned now, which is concerning.

Moderator help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: MINUTES AFTER MAKING THIS POST, A MAJORITY OF THE ACCOUNTS INVOLVED GOT BANNED. Thank you Game Masters for the quick response, we've been fighting against this hate group for weeks. Maybe some of them are still left but they'll no longer be able to effectively cause damage.

UPDATE 2: Wow, I didn't expect the comments to get so intense. Why are so many fascists suddenly crawling out of the woods to defend this? Get over yourselves lmao. It's already been deleted by the mods, you're only digging yourselves into a hole by crying about it.

Numerous users in Poland are using widely recognized hate speech symbols to erase LGBT art and reports aren't helping get them punished for it.

Proof that this art is fascist hate speech:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Communist_Action

"Anti-Communist Action, also shortened to Anticom, is a far-right^([a]) political organization based in the United States and Canada.^([1])^([2])^([3]) The group has described itself as "the right's response to antifa."^([4]) Anticom has espoused neo-Nazi ideology and members have attended neo-Nazi events.^([5])^([4])^([6]) The group has done security for various alt-right and white supremacist rallies.^([6]) Anticom has overlapping membership with the neo-Nazi terrorist group Atomwaffen Division and has shared information on combat and bomb-making.^([6])^(")

I normally don't do this because the report system has been reliable to me. I have a strong suspicion that all accounts in the "LilRascal" alliance on this leaderboard belong to at most two people. Their paint records imply they were all made roughly at the same time, and only one user in the alliance has a nickname that isn't default, which is the most obvious giveaway.

They're also all active in only one area and all they do is erase pride flags.

I do not know how your multi-acc detection systems work, but they're clearly failing here and a manual investigation into their activity is required.

To anyone who reads this and chooses to help, user or moderator, thank you very much, and I hope you have a nice day.
