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.
@Athena @Hephaestus is that not a little heavy-handed?
i heard through the grapvine that moderators can confront users who down vote in their subs, as is the example of @starjello sending messages to both @Hephestus and @zombielordzero asking to either remove their downvotes or debate why @Hanswormhat '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 @x0x7, 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.
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.
