Diaspora Podmins: Please be help prevent and rapidly address abusive network activity
@MondiAspora Podmin and other podmins: Please be aware that "Ivan Zlax" is a serial sockpuppet spaming harrasser now creating spoof identities on open pods to specifically harrass those reporting on their activities.
Accounts typically include a gorilla profile avatar and the name "ivan zlax" or "zlax ivan", increasingly with non-ASCII characters (e.g., Cyrillic "а") to avoid simple text search.
A recent extensive listing:

Please consider closing registrations or manually approving them.
Please remove accounts and all associated content (typically principally comments), some of which is now reported to contain pornography and/or CP.
Few pods prominently name or report their pod admins. Doing so, or providing unambiguous Diaspora and email reporting addresses is strongly encouraged as a global practice. Yes, I'm aware these are spambait.
Sadly, it only takes one asshat to ruin things for many.
Thank you.
