Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.

    Yes. Take some responsibility, have some humility and harden the fuck up don’t put yourself in a position of power if you are going to use that power when your feelings get hurt.

      Has nothing to do with sensitivity. Just simply not wanting new posts to be buried because of random repeat downvoters who clearly have no interest in the community. My community is now long-past this, but it wasn’t always.

                People who downvote posts in your community… I am not sure what you are trying to do by denying it? It is right there you can go reread what you wrote…

                  I never called them trolls for doing that.

                  Also, you misunderstand me. I would only ban users who mass downvote and never contribute. I don’t ban users for downvotes here and there.

                    I am not misunderstanding you, you are misunderstanding me. What I am saying is that “only ban users who mass downvote and never contribute” is wrong, both factually wrong and morally wrong. An individual can’t mass vote, a vote is a contribution. You are not a reasonable person, you know this by now right?
