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.
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.
Very simply factually wrong. A downvote is a contribution in itself so there is that, pretty basic. Yes I am aware of the picture you are trying to paint against individuals you disagree with. It’s a trump style move. Things about you are starting to make sense…
Let me introduce you to Pfeffy. Not the only user like that, either.
Wow, imagine that an entire community of people clap when someone gets banned from it. Why would someone want to be that way is beyond me…
Unless they are part of a network with malicious intent they are just a power user in my eyes.
