Is there a way to ban a non-commenter who keeps abusing the report system? (lemmy.world)

As far as I’m aware, mods can only access banning functionality on user comments.

If someone in a community keeps pestering mods with BS reports, but that user has not posted a comment in the community, is there a way to ban that person?

I can’t seem to find anything in the UI to handle this use case.

Does lemmy show vote history?

[–] jjagaimo@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Not directly but since it's federated information it would be trivial to extract or view such as running a 1 user instance and viewing the sql database, and theres likely tools now to automate that

Some people put in the legwork.

There is a very active account that mods a couple big communities. I saw them acting like a jackass and down voted like 4-5 of their comments in a chain, got a DM "informing" me that he could see votes...

They're not an admin, just a mod and on a normal instance.

I legitimately don't know why admins are cool with him, but they are. So I just blocked him.

They probably asked admins

Yes but only to admins. They must be an admin with an alt account
