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.

    I don’t believe that someone that continues to intentionally spread disinformation in this community would be allowed to remain.

    Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.

    There are several rules that imply that misinformation/disinformation is considered poor form.

      I don’t believe

      well, you’re not a mod, so it’s not particularly relevant what you believe. people post misinformation here all the time, and they get downvoted for it because most people who visit this comm have pretty good bullshit detectors and will demand receipts. they don’t get banned unless they rage and cause problems.

      and on top of that, it isn’t your place to threaten people anyway, now is it?

          As you have now stated and doubled down on the statement that OP has commented/posted in this Grimdank community, I would be very interested in seeing those receipts, as I haven’t found evidence of this myself.

            I never said that. I said “contributions”, meaning mass downvoting. OP attempted vote manipulation - seemingly in good faith btw, thinking that this was good for the Threadiverse as a whole.

            And now they are prevented from “contributing” further. But if they did not desire to contribute, then why this complaint post?

            Edit: and the above needed no (additional) receipts, as it was directly stated by OP, even the very wording “Mass downvoting”.
