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.
