Question about ban (self.support)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by dipshit to c/support
 

Hey mods / admins! Feel free to keep me banned from the community you banned me from, I’m not asking for an unban. Appologies if this the wrong community to ask this question, but I just wanted to understand if there was a specific rule or something about my behavior that should be stopped. Not here to argue one way or the other, just wanted to understand so that I don’t repeat the same behavior in other communities. I posted quite a bit in there, and was snarky but tried to keep things respectful and ultimately did so the same way I do in other communities, out of interest of conversation around the topic. Ultimately I’ve been trying to argue to let admins do what they need to keep their site and community safe, so I’m not going to take issue with your choices, I just want to be a good user.

Thanks!

edit: question answered. there’s a modlog, it’s at /modlog.

Mod actions are public on Lemmy, here's the modlog of actions related to your account: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1589367

The comment on these actions is:

reason: Please stop calling people pedophiles

The ban will expire in 3 days.

Oh cool, thanks. I guess I’m getting a little app-heavy these days. I’ve been trying to find this info for a while.

No problem, dipshit.

Is that message not sent to the user? It should be.

[–] PriorProject 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't been moderated a lot, but I believe the user gets no indication they've been moderated unless the mod replies to them or DMs them to tell them.

I agree that auto-notificiation would be beneficial. Despite the easy availability of the modlog, this kind of question is pretty common. Not everyone knows it exists or how to search it.

This was my experience, FWIW.

A big huge kick message that let me know of my sins before posting my next comment would’ve helped a bit. Banning also works, but without a clear message sent to the user, I imagine there would be a lot of messages like mine, maybe more tersely worded.

[–] dipshit 1 points 1 year ago

It wasn’t sent to me on my client, which is liftoff. I do see that I have a “banned from community” flair which is a nice touch.

There is an option built into photon that will automatically message the user. I haven't had the opportunity to try this yet.

Photon supports automatically replying/messaging with the reason it was removed, with support for custom templates.
