What are the most successful strategies for preventing vandalism?
Paywalls work, but remove anonymity.
Graylisting and captchas work for spamming, but humans can trivially bypass them.
Shadow banning works, but only if the user is unaware of their own shadow banning.
Limiting posts a user can make reduces, but doesn't eliminate, graffiti.
I wonder what the efficacy of combining the above would be.
Nah. There will always be this faggot.
How do you define "graffiti"
???????????????????
Graffiti looks cool though.

People shitting in your front yard, never to return.
Graffiti is more or less destruction of property. Sometimes it is an improvement, say in the case of a bansky. Whenever I see any sort of graff, I see the story that it told. How did they do that? Lord God, the materials used; what are they saying? what are they trying to say? Where they at? Where they from? Is this me? What is going through their minds when they risked trouble trouble trouble for the likes of this? Is the whole package their art, or my own relationship with it? Where do they stop, and I start?
more of a problem when people shit in your front lawn, hang out, bum cigarettes, i get it.

It's not possible to eradicate vandalism, but it can be reduced with three methods:
1. Good moderation
2. Good moderation
3. Good moderation
Okay, but seriously, people who don't want to moderate a community should not think about running a community.
Other tactics:
1. Limiting posting rate can be very effective but has to be fine-tuned very, very carefully. Cool downs slow down troll posts, but they also slow down quality posts.
2. Trolls feed off of reactionary energy. It's important not to feed into their drive. Get them bored.
3. There should be at least a little vetting process to enter the community, but it shouldn't be too rigorous, in which case potential quality users might be driven away due to apparent effort.
4. Commitment and good reputation in the community should be incentivized and rewarded.
Like you suggested, it's very useful to combine tactics.
>>9 heh cid my community is about vandalism
Unlike art, vandalism is beautiful for what it is, not for what it represents.
