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.

    1. Do yourselves a favor and pe-emptively block PG’s communities. He’ll just delete anything you say counter to his “Vaguely Left-Wing” point of view, and he’ll perhaps ban you. He curates them to be ideological bubbles.
    2. I and other mods & admins do ban people for vote spamming. For instance: 1) in the case of alt accounts that some people use solely for voting multiple times, 2) in the case of people who always downvote specific communities and 3) in the case of people who downvote a particular person regardless of the content.

    Edit to add: He posts almost exclusively to the communities he mods.

      I just told them to go away and no speak to me. They have so far and they haven’t banned me from anything yet.

            You share the same political beliefs as PJ and he actively seeks an echo chamber. Why would he ban someone likely to agree with him or upvote his content? Even if you don’t directly engage with him you might comment favorably on someone else’s posts even and he can get his fix. Almost all of his energy is driven to political content is why this matters.

            That’s not an insult to you, at least not from me.

              What political beliefs are those exactly? Be specific not vague and repetitive.

              That’s not an insult to you, at least not from me.

              Sounds like an insult to me but I also didn’t ask you and you also didn’t get exact either nor how you’ve developed a understanding of my political beliefs from the modlog of all places.
