current record afaik: 28 on ch 31 P_Artsypants Longest Night

[alexseanchai]

number of times I've marked the Lila anon's verbatim-identical† comment on today's fic as spam: ||||/ ||||/ |

thinking about going through and clicking Spam on every comment she's ever left, because it's one thing for AO3 to do fuck-all because her unwanted roleplay comments that aren't associated with an AO3 account are annoying, another for AO3 to do fuck-all when the said comments are spammy. timestamps of these comments, per Gmail, are 1:14a, 1:30a, 1:39a, and 1:43a, as of 1:44a when I post this post; you will please to observe I opened Create Entry at 1:40a.

illustrative examples of previous Lila-anon comments: "you're full of something", "go on and sound your horns", "the ball's in your court now"

as far as we know, the Lila anon—I think we're assuming there's only one, excepting cases of people trying to troll her back and also taking the Lila persona—is the same person we were talking about in July. turning on comment moderation does not stop her; at least four of the times she hit P_Artsypants's Longest Night ch 31 were after turning comment moderation on. archive-locking the fic and turning off anon comments will both stop her, but I am among the writers who really wants to do neither.

*cranky*

ETA: per advice from HopefulNebula, leaving this one up and reporting the escalation to AO3 Abuse

† attempt 6 added a line; 7 added a word; 8 changed a word and fixed a spelling error; 9 added a word; am done with this footnote now unless future editions of the comment are significantly different
