One guy banned me from 18 magazines for downvoting him. (Side note: this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that's a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it's still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

I've blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

To be fair, wouldn't an admin always be able to see your downvotes, even without the current completely open view of it? Admins in general usually get information you're not privy to on sites.

That said, your best bet would be to just find magazines that offer the same thing, just not run by him. Or make a new one. If he keeps it up you'd likely get traffic.

looks like he's owner and sole moderator for several magazines

I see nothing has changed from reddit with these childish, power hungry mods. That's such a shame.

Lol, will you even still be alive in 80 years?

Toxic behavior like this is something that needs to be reported to the server admin (Ernest in this case). We're at the size where reporting this stuff can still be handled on a case by case basis

Wow, banned from a magazine or banned on the entire kbin.social? If an admin is doing that, I'd leave asap and open an account elsewhere.

Looks like he got you for a couple more just recently.

Looking through your post history, I don't agree with the "Troll" statement being tied to those bans...

That was me banning him, a gut reaction on my part when I noticed. Maybe childish, but when they revealed himself as a bad actor I didn't want them coming into my communities.
