I can't control vote brigading, please consider that when viewing content as the votes aren't always a reflection of quality.

  1. chmod 500 /home/bob

Now your user can't create or rename files in that top level directory. This means your programs can't either.

  1. Set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to /home/bob/.config

There are more variables, but this one alone is the biggest change.

  1. Move/remove offending programs.

Self explanatory.

Spec, support.
