Is there anything that can be done about troll powermods?
(media.kbin.social)
I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.
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.
(Side note: IMO, 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've blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?
Yep. The transparency is the key takeaway here. Being able to see upvotes / downvotes is important. If people are going to retaliate against people for downvoting then, that's just part of the system. Block those people and move on. The issue here I feel is one person making over a dozen magazines and then banning this user because they've been slighted.
There should be a moderator code of conduct, where your bans and moderation needs to be justified, else you get a booting from the admins
