I've removed so many incorrect aspect ratio fanart images uploaded by 365RomX, where X is a number from 1 to 9. Recently this robot's been using 365Rom9, but I just found some old fanart images by 365Rom2 in Happy Feet.
This robot uses google images to scrape large resolution files and resizes them to a width of 1920 or 1280 regardless of height resulting in incorrect aspect images (squished).
What options do we have to prevent this user from continually abusing this database and wasting our time?

I have removed tons of bad profile images - squished usually - from this user (or users perhaps one should say) over the last month.

Thanks a bunch lineker. Any luck in banning it?

I don't think it is banned yet and I can't ban any accounts. For the record, just as an example on the bad quality, this is a profile image uploaded by 365rom3: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/118125-katja-schuurman/profiles (I added a better image.)
I also did some checking and found that there are actually 15(!) 365romX accounts, but 365rom11 - 365rom15 have not been used yet. But surely this kind of multiple account creation in combination with tons of bad images uploaded should be enough for a ban?

Oh, I thought you were a moderator, lineker. This would be so much easier if you or I could quickly remove his/her bad images.

I am a moderator, but even moderators have limits of power. However, I just let this example image stay to show as an example. I will remove it later on.

I'm aware of who these accounts belong to. I'll look into it. Thanks.

All 15 accounts have been deactivated. The last edit one of these users made was back in January and nothing since so we should be ok now.

just an idea. how about putting some sort of captcha code thingy (Im sure that's a technical term) for uploads as well . it stops 99% of spam bots.

Hi Red_Diablos,
These weren't actually true "spam bots". Like I mentioned, I was aware of who/what they represented.
