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.
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.
Well heres progress. They are “repeat downvoters” and not (((trolls))) now?
I never called anyone a troll.
Oh I was confused by the way you called people trolls so I thought you called people trolls my bad obviously /s
Who did I call a troll?
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?
How can it be factually wrong?
I also disagree that it’s morally wrong.
By “mass vote” I mean someone going down and downvoting every single post in the community. Not on a single post.
Let me introduce you to Pfeffy. Not the only user like that, either.
