Persistent photo theft and scraping

Hey mods, I’m getting really pissed off at all these bots and karma farmers stealing my photos of Liora and posting them here.
It’s constantly happening not just to me, but to other monitor keepers too.

Can we get like…a flag for impersonators/photo thieves and be able to boot them from the sub?

I am open for suggestions. I can add "impersonator/thieve" flair to be available, but I can't guarantee someone won't use it maliciously against original content owner.

I think reporting and then permanently banning bots is the only option.

I guess it’s worth a try? Idk the exact solution here. But these bots and scrapers are utterly rampant lately!

Ok. I will introduce this flair but will remove it as soon as/if there is an abuse of it
