The admins wont look into any alts for any sorts of abuses. [...]It's this Laissez-faire attitude

This sounds more like anarchy than Laissez-faire to me.

People making shit posts is a major problem around here, and there is no doubt in my mind that repeat offenders (those that are repeatedly permabanned) play a significant role in this. It should be trivial to have automated reports that flag suspected alts of those who are banned, and an admin should then investigate and ban if appropriate.

It is anarchy. This forum is what happens when there's little to no laws or the ones there are are sparingly enforced. I joined this forum a strong libertarian, but my views have waned largely to how things work (or don't work) here. A community just doesn't function well by letting everyone do whatever they want with little restrictions or regulations because the greedy and tyrannical rise to the top and shit on every else below them on the way there. If you have an account banned here then just create another from the same IP. You won't be caught. People are being caught farming literally hundreds of accounts and they have to be painstakingly manually searched for by mods and admins are not looking into them at all. I could find and ban fifty bots or copy and pasters that obviously belong to the same person, but there could be hundreds if not thousands I've missed. Copy and pasters often work in patterns and they're often too stupid or lazy to use a fresh connection for every account. An admin would be able to group them all together with a couple of clicks if so, but it's just not happening. Nothing is happening and the forum continues to circle the drain in the meantime with users finding new ways to abuse the forum all the time. People are offering bumping services to spam threads with thousands of accounts. People are farming thousands of accounts to copy and paste content and get paid from alt coin bounties who will pay anyone for anything. We might as well get rid of the rules all together because they're really not being enforced effectively which is waste of time for everyone.
