What is much more effective is writing fake reports that sound legit. Because then they start investigating the case only to realise, they have been fooled. Wastes much more time.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Run a local instance of DeepMind or any other LLM, then just make it to generate endless streams of plausible reports.
Finally a good use for the plagiarism and spam generating machine! Just make sure it's verbose enough that a normal human being gets tired reading it. Generating templates then changing up words is also a good way to go, just make sure you have like 20-30+ templates, so it won't become obvious.
DeekSeek!
I feel like that would just give them more justification to cut public funding.
For anyone on windows, run this in powershell:
curl.exe https://gist.githubusercontent.com/MattIPv4/045239bc27b16b2bcf7a3a9a4648c08a/raw/2411e31293a35f3e565f61e7490a806d4720ea7e/bee%2520movie%2520script | clip
This will copy it to your clipboard almost instantly. I cannot get a look at the form because I'm outside the US, but I'm sure this could be automated.
450-word limit! Booooo
No rule says you can't submit the script in multiple forms.
Valid point
Personally, I use the text of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence since it is in the public domain.
Do we really need to be respecting US copyright laws at this point?
Ha! Never. It's more about sharing eloquent text of a Victorian lady getting railed in a barn.
What does "getting railed" means?
I see. And is the barn a literal barn?
Technically it's a hut in the forest and she's Edwardian not Victorian.
You gave me an idea, you ever read the love letters James Joyce sent to his wife Nora?
I always think about this comic when I see his name.
I miss Hark a Vagrant so much.
Me, too. I hope Kate Beaton is happy. She brought me a lot of joy. Still does!
Send them a zip-bomb.
Like you got at with the title, this kind of spamming can be fun, but is easy to bypass.
Diversifying the spam will help, but it could still get caught by a filter, and quickly discarded after a skim. If you REALLY want to do some damage, you could poison the data set. Make the tips sound plausible. The longer it takes to check up on it, the better. Maybe mix in some real and fake information, like a fictional teacher at a real school, or a class that doesn't actually exist.
Also, while AI is mostly being used by capitalists to make everything worse in yet another case of short-sighted rent-seeking, it's just a tool, and can have some good uses. In this case, it's ability to create a whole lot of complete garbage very quickly might be an asset, since you could generate a fuck ton of unique stories with slight variations.
In theory, of course. Sure would suck if, even after filtering out as much as they could, they ended up with a stack of submissions that all seem equally likely, but are 99% (or more) nonsense.
Here I go uploading goatse
If you are serious about fucking with this thing, I've fucked about with it a bit.
It has a CAPTCHA so your best bet is selinium, chromium-undetected and flaresolverr. I'd argue its one of the few legitimate uses of free AIs since it also costs the AI companies money and doesn't really need much oversight and you want to waste the snitch-line's time and not your own
Personally if it was me I would:
-
Have selinium prompt some AI shit to generate fake stories about DEI and scrape them into a flat file.
-
Hop US VPN (they block international ones)
-
Have selenium go to the snitch page, enter a fake story and a random, potentially fakered email address. If it needs verification a bit of thought might be necy.
I've been reporting cases of rogue warlocks teaching kids the dark arts in art class.
