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.

    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.
