DDOS prevention techniques?

Issue
Over the past few weeks we have had a player in our community who has been denying server access and crashing servers on our games in the community. Players join and are immediately met with high ping and connection issues. As well, the person has admitted to crashing servers etc on 3rd party platforms.

And there’s nothing we’ve been able to do because he’s crashing the servers. The owners of the groups he crashes have even had to give away the groups because of the repeated attacks and in real life doxing, but that’s another issue.

Question
As a community developer, how can I prevent or report ddos/crashing of my servers from other users?

Thanks,

Game servers being DDoS'd
It's possible to stop a 'DoS' attack in Roblox?

DDoS seems to be the incorrect term for this kind of situation. The crashing requires a manipulation of remotes. Try securing the remotes due to the exploits, especially ones that lead to a looping function.

Firstly id consider this more a DoS attack since it seems to be a sole user, log on server how many times remotes are being called, if it starts rapidly increasing kick the player firing a lot of remotes.
