Anti-vax trolls

There seem to be large numbers of new posters on the covid threads, who have joined in the last couple of days and post nothing except multiple anti-vax posts. Obvious trolls. I have been reporting when I see them.

Does MN have any mechanism for stopping these? Any way of detecting when multiple usernames share an IP address? Or do you just want us to report when we spot them?

Obviously applies to trolls on other topics too, but it is particularly noticeable on covid threads because they usually c&p long screeds written in American English/referring to US regulatory bodies.

We wouldn't like to give away our secrets for spotting trolls, just in case they are also reading this thread, but rest assured we do have many mechanisms in place to catch them, the best being all of the amazing non-troll mumsnetters, so please do continue to hit the report button when you suspect anything.
