As far as I’m aware, mods can only access banning functionality on user comments.
If someone in a community keeps pestering mods with BS reports, but that user has not posted a comment in the community, is there a way to ban that person?
I can’t seem to find anything in the UI to handle this use case.
The new hobby of mods chasing people for not voting the way they like is nasty
That’s what you get when you allow moderators to see what people up/downvote. Unfortunately, this is simply human behavior - and you have to implement things with the expectation that they are going to be abused.
