Just to clarify, these aren't mere trolls. These are people employed by the Russian government, their task being to disrupt opposition resources on the internet by spamming and to spread official propaganda. The spam consists mainly of articles copied from Russian state media channels and gloating over Ukrainian deaths, although sometimes they post gore or porn. They primarily use darknet or large pools of proxies or dynamic IPs, specifically to avoid being banned. They can produce a few hundred posts of spam during the span of one shift.
We do not ban people for expressing different opinions, and we do not take sides in arguments between groups of posters with opposing views. There have been a few short 2-day bans for persistent shitposting and threatening other posters, but generally there are no rules besides global rules.
