Hopefully yes. May or may not be worth the bank’s and/or NZI’s time to deal with I suppose. But it did strike me as a particularly stupid use of stolen credit card details. Hopefully NZ border peeps have a plentiful supply of rubber gloves and will give them the welcome they deserve 😂

And/or posted at different times etc; ignore reports from newly-created accounts or accounts with minimal post history; add weight to older or more
prolific / engaged accounts etc

Possibly, yeah. But I wonder - bot farm for mass-posting spam etc vs bot farm for mass reporting disliked posts; the former has instant results, the latter doesn’t. And I think the latter could be engineered to become less worthwhile for the bad actors. Eg only count reports from unique IP addresses

Just an idea, to (hopefully) reduce mod workload. What if you reverse the process, ie any account that gets more than x separate reports is auto-suspended; owner must then contact mods to reinstate. So mod time is spent looking for false positives rather than Bad Stuff to remove. Any good?

It’s inside the cat… 😂

Have you seen the Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch? Quite a few euphemisms in there… ;-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW...

Oh, and I suppose (ahem, x=6, oops) there’s this. Claim to fame and whatnot. Or not. movingtomalaysia.info/boris-johnso...

And nowadays I mostly do music stuff, of which my latest effort is on SoundCloud here: on.soundcloud.com/zYQmq9hxuy3J... 5/x (where x has turned out to be 5; for now…)

…I decided it was better to be somewhere else, far away, when actual-Brexit (finally) happened. So I moved to Malaysia. And wrote about that experience here: movingtomalaysia.info 4/x

After that, I did some consultancy work in the British government, helping to design a system for managing trade tariffs post-Brexit. That experience convinced me (as if it wasn’t already blindingly obvious) that Brexit was going to be an absolute sh*tshow, so… 3/x

Then I spent a few years trying to bring to market a guitar I designed, which I called the Hirsch SB-1 Radius. Because it had a small body with a radius surface contour… Partial success, mostly fail. You can read about it here if so inclined: www.jonathan-hirsch.com 2/x
