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?

    As OP said, it was 18 Magazines, not the entire site.

    Ernest is our site admin over here on kbin.social, and he’s cool. A bit over worked, but cool. He’s also the dev of kbin.

        But it was not ernest who banned OP. Ernest was mentioned as being the site admin, but as you can see in the screenshot, someone else banned OP.

        Nah it wasn’t Ernest, it was someone who is a magazine/community mod of 18 magazines banned the user from those 18 magazines, the person doesn’t have any site/instance admin perms.
