This is a good example of what Falcon would call "Spamalek" and just delete for forum sliding and ban the OP to prevent point farming. We can do that. Alternatively, we could change the flair to "Possible Disinfo" and leave it up, as I proposed in this comment.
do we really want things we clearly have labeled as 'disinfo' to stay up permanently?
forgive my lack of knowledge, but is there a way we could organize all the 'disinfo' posts in a separate sub so that we wouldn't have to delete them? this would allow the post to show up in the user's submissions profile (and allowing researchers to continue to review them if they wish) without cluttering the main sub with known disinfo.
I wish, ben. But there's no way to move a post from one sub to another.
One thing we could do is make a thread in v/pizzagatemods tracking the disinfo and include archives of the threads in question, as well as a list of usernames, there. That won't make it show up in the users Submission history, though.

When we let it stay, we need to keep flairing it 'Edit Warning', since OP hasn't provided a summary as requested in Rule 3.
Maybe it's good to let it stay, as suggested by you, so everybody can see it and see the 'Disinfo' flair.
However, it was my understanding that we can't flair posts with more than one flair at a time?

LOL. True. Only one flair. In this case, maybe leave the Edit flair and then switch or Disinfo or Remove. I'm curious what others' opinions are.

I'd suggest to switch to 'Disinfo' after 24 hours, then delete it.
This way it will have the 'Disinfo' flair in the 'removed submissions' log.

That's a good plan. It won't show up in the user's Submissions profile though.

Oh, you're right, hadn't thought about that.
So better flair it 'Disinfo' after 24 hours and let it stay?

That we will have to decide. It would be a formal change of policy from what we've done in the past.
