How to report mod abuse? - Lemmy.World
Hello Admins! Iβve been recently banned because I broke down and called someone who had 70 downvotes and was already acting like a troll a βdipshitβ. As punishment, Iβve been banned for 7 days from the site, and permabanned from the politics community. I feel like this was a little harsh, given the content that stays up on that community, but it felt especially weird because I was banned by a mod who was losing an argument on why voters voted for a specific law. This to me felt like someone was annoyed with me, so they looked at what comments I made in other communities they moderate and banned me accordingly. I tried to find a moderator code of conduct for this site but there wasnβt one created - only mention of one being created and a link to a boilerplate legal document which doesnβt mentio a code of conduct for mods. Another moderator didnβt like a take I had on some topic so he decided to troll me for 3 days, trying to bait me with emojis. If this is what trolling truly is (caling someone a dipshit) then I need to recalibrate my reports and thereβs LOADS more people on this site that troll. I didnβt think simply calling someone a name would constitute trolling but if it does, whoa boy: be prepared for many more reports. If instead, these moderators are abusing their powers, how can I report this? Moderators make this site work, and they need to exist. Abusive moderation wlll only make people angry and cause the site to be even more difficult to moderate (not a threat by me, just understanding how people operate when they are upset at forums online). FWIW, Iβm not a troll, but boy do trolls find me.
