Easy, you just ban all known vpn endpoints and cloud hosting provider IP ranges. 4chan figured all this out over a decade ago.


Interestingly enough, Twitter is excellent at that. Maybe they even jump the gun.

Ever since I noticed that when you register a decent domain, someone will instantly register a Twitter account with that name, I have started trying to preempt that.

I accidentally clicked a Twitter link the other day, while apparently still logged in to an account. I was on a VPN at that moment. Instant suspension within 15 seconds. It was astonishing.
