  • It is stupid easy to get a free .edu account. It will not hamper spammers in the slightest. Even if they don’t want to make a few .edu accounts a day to do their spamming, they can just buy .edu accounts in bulk for about 10 cents per. No one is making thousands of kbin accounts to spam from, they make a handful a day, and use them till they get banned. Then they make a few more.

    .edu accounts are a terrible way to try and prevent spam on kbin. There is literally an industry around generating fake .edu accounts. You can buy them in bulk. Some colleges receive 10’s of thousands of fake applications a month trying to get free .edu emails.













  • I doubt it’s your name/ethnicity. It’s probably more that you’re over qualified and they’re afraid you’re going to work for 3 months before getting a better job better matching your qualifications. To be clear they shouldn’t discriminate because of over qualifications either.

    I say this as someone who works in the public sector, for many years. Every year I have to go to an EEO training and they drill it home what we can and can’t consider. There’s no way they are managing to discriminate against white sounding names for a decade without someone blowing the whistle. I 100% guarantee some fox news watcher there is blowing the whistle for their 20 minutes of fame.







  • Any time I tried to get someone to check out Reddit, I hated having to preface it with, oh and you’re going to want to block these 30 subs, they’re horrible, and here’s another 100 that are kinda gross, I’ll email you my list…

    There’s stuff to block, but there’s stuff that should be banned too. I remember recommending some of the SQL reddits to coworkers just weeks before the jailbait crap hit the national news. It’s up to ernest how he wants to run this place, but I hope we don’t let the bar go too low.
