Hi Lemmy mods, Is there a way to ban an account that never posts in a group, but reports other posts with some Dwazou reason that sounds like a reddit reason. I ignore but wish it would stop. pretty sure its a bot or a real weird person. ๐Ÿค–

Hi, not a bot. Dwazou is a ban-evading spammer who keeps coming back for reasons I don't fully understand. I report their posts so they can be banned again and will have to make a fresh account to continue their BS. Also to preserve a record of their activity for times when they go back and edit or delete posts.

it's like the bot just targets certain accounts and reports all their posts in w/e community. seems like a lemmy loophole. like can't appoint a mod who has never posted in the group. context menus don't give any mod options for reporters.

Recently, I've been trying to only report them once per account per community so it's not a flood but have probably lost track and done some repeats. Only human, after all.

EDIT! I told you a lie, so I erased my comment. (TL;DR: Still don't use Tesseract.)

I got a report on one of my comms today. The Alexandrite UI apparently allows you to ban a user from a report:

The default Lemmy web UI does not present this option, nor does Photon.
