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.
Rip lemm.ee, I really liked it there.
I think that in such cases, a few downvotes, the visibility should not be affected (like it is) bcs that’s still engagement & it’s to early to tell by the votes if it’s a good or a bad post - so more of a systemic problem than user problem (unless that was very targeted, then bannaning them is good too).
All of the users in this case that I banned had a history of doing it in many communities. They were all just serial downvoters.
