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.

    If someone who doesn’t like metal music enters [email protected] and downvotes every post there

    See, that’s not what is happening, I’m not against the concept of the community, I think they are poor quality submissions for that community.

      I’m not speaking for whatever you did. Just generally, there can be legitimate reasons for community owners to ban specific downvoters.
