    Hey mods, seeing actual articles constantly downvoted because people don’t like the news is getting really fucking old. Is it possible to start handing out some time outs or maybe just make a meta post?

        My understanding is that if users are banned from a community they can’t interact with posts/comments in that community. Am I incorrect?

            Pretty sure that kind of info is available to the server host

              So you think that the person who hosts the server is actually going to put together any sort of anything to detect when people are down voting articles that OP doesn’t think they should be?

            I am not familiar with the underlying infrastructure and what data is visible for who but there is a record on a per user basis of who has voted for what to prevent repeated voting. Is that information not available to mods?

              It’s available to admins at least and I believe Kbin has it on by default for everyone so it should be publically available if someone wanted to find it. That said I don’t think anyone is interested in that level of micromanagement unless its something like mass downvote accounts.

      I can’t speak to what the ADMINs can see, because I’m not an admin, but as a mod, we can’t see the source of up and down votes any more than anyone else.

      We have the queue of reported posts and comments, and removal and ban tools, and that’s pretty much it.

      But what you’re complaining about is largely the hivemind at work.

      Thry may have just been down voting my sarcastic commentary on it, given that Lemmy essentially allows the text field to be the top comment
