Bad idea so I scrapped it.
Not always.
You sign up with a email address correct? So they can just link it that way.
I’m keen for Community feedback on this 
Banning IP address is currently a thing and there’s certain terms which do get filtered, you might notice them if you try to say something rude (this is not an invitation to find out which words )
Misuse of the report feature is something I think needs to be included within our Code of Conduct and would hope everyone would be on board with.

In the grand scheme of things, there’s been 1 or 2 in the last few years?
One was a duplicate that went. One is now being annoying and posting stupid things after being banned once. Just ignore/report and they’ll be gone soon enough. I don’t think there needs OTT measures for the 1%

Agree with the above. Not really seeing much need for any new measures.
I can probably count around 3 from just this week alone that are new
In discourse the moderator approves flags so if they disagree with a certain amount I can’t see it being difficult to revoke flagging permissions for those users.

Someone want to give me an idea seen as though it’s been rudely edited

Oh yeah. I hate it when this happens.
Basically there are too many trolls, what suggestions can you think of to help clamp down on them.
Giving your name, phone number, blocking IPs were some of the suggestions.

On what? They’ve deleted the original comment
Personally I think the 1st post should sit in an area awaiting moderation to see if it’s a real person or not, granted it’s not foolproof.
New users should be on a tight leash until they hit X amount of posts with no flags etc. Anything flagged up sets to like an auto ban which is then manually reviewed.
Need to give them something to do and earn that badge 
Off the back of this the same could be applied to posting abilities too.
If you get a certain amount of posts flagged within a short period then all future posts should be automatically hidden pending a review.
Again this related to a certain individual who has recently been banned and then just went round loads of topics posting their usual low quality comments and getting flagged endlessly.
Sounds good but to be flagged (so it’s hidden) it needs multiple people anyway.
But you make a good point, I don’t want to be flagged because being rude is a hobby of mine and I’d be lost without it

Once he has his forum badge that will be a foregone conclusion so should be exempt from this for rudeness. That’s like punishing a puppy for being a puppy.

How can you report profiles, there’s one that posts a random message which kind of links into what’s been discussed if not vague. Then later on the post gets edited to drop in a random link up random websites selling stuff.
Flag it as spam when you see they’ve changed it

Yeah I just did that on one to be fair. Just wondered if could report the actual profile. Didn’t know if my one lowly flag would flag up somewhere to be dealt with
I don’t think it will. A few will have to report it so it becomes hidden before the moderators will be alerted.
PM it me if you like and I’ll flag it
