Yeah the message is misleading, it always says "mod".
But admins are responsible for their users, no matter where they post. If they're spamming, shouldn't their home instance admin ban their whole account, instead of every other instance having to ban them individually?
I agree that their comments should be deleted automatically, however I did not like the message their comments were replaced with because it implies I banned them. It would also be nice if moderators and admin of other instances could at least be notified. If the user has written a really useful answer to a question or a how to guide then that could disappear forever. Someone else in this thread stated that the comments should be deleted forever. I really don't like the idea of someone having the ability to delete things completely off of my server.
A user's posts and comments are actually stored on their home instance, I believe, and a copy is pushed to your instance during federation.
Indeed I was able to restore their comments. However, it was somewhat of a fluke that I saw what happened.
