Apparently I downvoted two videos before I knew that was a thing when I first started here, of the worlds most annoying squirrel. Like a full few months later I get banned as of like yesterday or something.
I'm sorry. That squirrel was fucking annoying.
Retaliatory bans for downvoting content.
is that not a little heavy-handed?
apparently he did not respond after being sent a message. i'll check the mod mail.
Athena sent the message, i'll leave it to her.
i heard through the grapvine that moderators can confront users who down vote in their subs, as is the example of sending messages to both and asking to either remove their downvotes or debate why 's posts are spam.
Then i remembered my old sticky https://poal.co/s/Feminism/53075 and how i removed the stick after a single down vote. then i saw a second right next to it. https://poal.co/s/Feminism/53074
Both were from , so i sent him a message similar to what starjello send the other two. He did not respond within a day, so i banned him.
The down votes also remain atm. So, so long as this culture of
Down votes are only for spam
exists, i consider all down votes as spam reports. Casting this vote for clearly not spam is a false report. Either the users remove the down votes, or i don't want them in my sub.

This actually logically makes sense. But banning someone for a downvote... seems wrong. Especially since they're your own posts. Probably a discussion worth having. Would make a post about it if Poal weren't already racked with existential doubt from these past few days.
While I was admittedly annoying, I never banned anyone. I'm just saying for clarity.
