There’s a different issue there; the topic was closed, which is reasonable, but I want new users like that who are so clearly, so obviously participating in bad faith to get shut down and blocked by flags sooner.
I feel it’s unfair to auto-close the discussion when what’s needed is to auto-block that particular new user. The example in this case is so damn egregious.
Right now I am thinking flags by TL3 users are weighted heavily against new users, if they happen fast enough, e.g.
new user X has Y flags outstanding by Z different TL3 users, time to auto-block them
(We already do a form of this, but it’s specific to spam flags which tend to be very black and white, and does not take TL into account at all.)
