Description
There is a serious problem with malicious saboteurs derailing and hijacking people's requests on this site. Typically this is done by social justice warriors trying to disrupt legitimate SeeClickFix users from reporting crime in their neighborhood because they want to protect the criminals from facing legal consequences and also want to prevent us from making known their unlawful activities on this website.
Sometimes these malicious users will register multiple accounts so that they are able to use them to repeatedly close your issue and hurl insults at you without fear of losing access to the site (if one of their accounts gets suspended, they simply register another one and continue the abuse)
The site is obviously grossly lacking in basic security facilities and needs some improvements to protect users from malicious behavior like this. Please implement better security to prevent abusive users from being able to mass-register multiple accounts and freely close your issues without permission. Ideally submitters should have an option to lock their issue from being closed by non-approved parties. I don't want anyone being able to close my requests besides me and the city government.
Thanks.

I use my name, obvious you don't use yours. In the past I've seen general complaints from you, do you happen to have specific users who do these things you claim?

For reference, here is the request that SCF admins tampered with so nobody can close it now: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/6446706
Notice the option to "close this request" is missing on the comment form? Notice how you can still close this request, however?
Admins are playing favorites. They're protecting the SJWs while leaving the rest of us at their mercy.
Meanwhile my requests are constantly hijacked and fake-closed by city officials so I can't even reopen or comment on them: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/7043429
Do you guys see the double standard?

Also, just for reference. Here is the URL to my request about recycling theft that was repeatedly hijacked and a.t.t.a.c.k.e.d by a social justice warrior: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6116085
The same user later submitted a public records request to the city government of Alameda attempting to obtain my personal information (dox) so they can harm me in real life in retaliation to me trying to get recycling thieves cited in my neighborhood:

As you can see we have a big problem here on this website and it appears that the admins are siding with the SJWs instead of law abiding citizens. They protect these people but offer no protection to us when we are targeted by them.
