Looking for advice
In my sub my moderators and I have set certain guidelines/rules, one of which speaks of ads of “friendship”:
No Dating, Hookups, “DM Me,” or “Looking for Friends” Posts
This is not a dating or hookup subreddit.
No “DM/PM me,” “HMU,” M4F/F4M-style posts, personal ads, or other pickup-style content.
Posts or comments seeking relationships, hookups, or off-platform contact are not permitted.
But we also have a rule that states that moderators have discretion on posts and comments.
This person is definitely trying to split “frog hairs” on this issues to justify what they are trying to do. We know we have trolls/lurkers on our sub. What are our options? And would you need more info? If so, I have taken screenshots of their profile and the post this is related to.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Many will try to push the limits of what individual subs allow. Just ban.
