@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.
Verifying community creation wouldn’t inconvenience users that much, though it will place a lot of work on the admins having to sift through spam. Limiting the amount of community creations would essentially mean that it will all be used up by spam communities, though.
