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?
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!
