A note on Universal Monk: - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
So we’ve seen the complaints and the reports and boy oh boy are there complaints and reports. I’ve discussed the account with the other mods and admins multiple times, and while we agree the volume is a lot, it doesn’t point to a botfarm or multiple people using the account. Obsessive? Absolutely, but not technically rule breaking… Until today. Today they indescriminately posted the same story three times from three different sources apparently solely to flood the channel showing a decided lack of judgement. It’s a valid story from a valid source, the original has been kept here: https://lemmy.world/post/21098916 [https://lemmy.world/post/21098916] The others have been removed as duplicates. I’m also applying a 15 day temp ban on the account. “15 days? That’s oddly specific! What’s in 15… OH!” [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/04262bb4-b76a-4968-b8c3-92521db3e657.jpeg]

He’s been banned from the community until the election, so I’m not sure if there’s a reason to continue this one.

Thoughts?

    I’m personally a fan of no troll politics. Even if it was created because of one no lifer this community serves a good purpose in helping to avoid trolls

    UM hasn’t shown his face in here but rest assured he’ll be banned if he shows up. This community is intended to be quite similar to the other politics community but with the added philosophy that we look at users’ intent in addition to their compliance with the rules.

    As we see with UM it’s quite possible to abide by /Politic’s rules and still be toxic to the community. UM’s intent is not to engage in honest discussion and debate. Therefore he and those with similar nefarious purposes are not welcome here.

    All that said, we do encourage honest debate and different views, recent posts notwithstanding. The goal is not to silence conservative views, it’s to silence trolls.

    honestly the mod explanation of the ban does not give me confidence in their ability to make decisions, this community will have a purpose again in a day or two
