I discovered that I was banned from [email protected] for being a "known detriment to the community," despite never having posted there or even knowing about the community.

A similar situation occurred with [email protected]. This community uses a bot that bans people based on their downvote history, regardless of whether they've actually visited the community.

This policy from [email protected] actually caused me some trouble. After moving to a new instance, I stumbled upon this community and decided to post there. The owner then initiated a thread to have me banned across the federation for "ban evasion," even though I was unaware of any prior ban and had only just learned of the community.

This owner has implemented a bot that automatically bans individuals, only to potentially unban them depending on their upvote/downvote ratio, without considering their actual involvement in the community.

His mod log is a wall of bans. lol

While I'm not usually one for pettiness, I think I would like to return the favor to those mods and pre-ban them from my communities.

However, I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Any tips?

Matey, I'm not here to put people down or be rude, mean, or hurtful, but man... it does seem like you got some issues to work out.

I have no issues, friend. I don't take any of this seriously. And I'm surprised at how many here do!! Lol

Don't mistake my lack of brevity for seriousness. I mean, yeah, that post is true. But none of this shit is even close to really bothering me.

Cheers, mate!
