if he's costing the site money regardless, I dont see why we wouldn't just bite the bullet and step in. If your lawyer thinks an argument can be made that the farms can win, might as well. He's not going to stop anyway.
Bonus points if he can be saddled with some kind of cost to repay the legal costs
EDIT: Also having another case on the books that shows us bitch slapping a pro se litigant just seems like good business

.Probably not. The Statute of Limitations varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but it's usually between 1 to 3 years. Plus you would need to show Stebbins' tort was far reaching in scope. It also adds way more hurdles to leap through. Easier to just reach out to his more immediate victims and file a unified complaint.

A class-action suit against a vexatious litigant is certainly interesting, but I'm not sure if that has ever had precedent on a federal level, which I assume would be necessary against his multiple suits in multiple jurisdictions. It would certainly be time consuming and expensive for sure. But the main problem I see is that usually federal vexatious litigation is filed against an attorney, or other person authorized to conduct practice. Im not sure how that would even work in regards to a pro-se litigant. 🤔

It's probably not certifiable as a class, because the damages to each individual would be too different. Class actions are usually for things where the damages are very similar or even identical, i.e. Verizon gouged several million people with a bogus and illegal fee.

Agree, it's usually a case involving a civil matter in that instance. Of course it's usually a situation of "Amazon made 47 gorillion dollars for doing Bad Thing that led to the deaths of untold millions of people! Here's your $3.46 class-action payout! And they pinky-promise that it won't happen again!"

Although the theoretically possible, yet extremely improbable, time consuming (and expensive!), chance of a situation where there was a federal class-action suit that set precedent on a federal level essentially saying that David Stebbins is too retarded to be involved with the legal system without a pre-approved tard-wrangler would be absolutely hilarious.

Can people at least sue him for being an affront to human decency and abject horror to look upon? I'm sure everyone can agree on that.
