I know there is, because the mod of 30rock banned me for down voting a couple of their bad memes when they posted like 20 at once.
I have no idea how to do it tho.
If it's just a couple accounts doing it, message that admin account they created I guess.
Maybe DM the 30rock mod? When I was trying to figure out what was going on, their modlog looks like they ban anyone that down votes without being subscribed. So apparently they're the subject matter expert.
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.
At this moment, only admins can, no? I'm a mod and unable to see votes
Does lemmy show vote history?
Not directly but since it's federated information it would be trivial to extract or view such as running a 1 user instance and viewing the sql database, and theres likely tools now to automate that
Some people put in the legwork.
There is a very active account that mods a couple big communities. I saw them acting like a jackass and down voted like 4-5 of their comments in a chain, got a DM "informing" me that he could see votes...
They're not an admin, just a mod and on a normal instance.
I legitimately don't know why admins are cool with him, but they are. So I just blocked him.
They probably asked admins
Some alternatives UI like Photon or Tesseract allow for it
Photon actually doesn't have this currently, but it's a good idea, as I moved appointing moderators to community settings. I'll add this soon!
Thanks. I’ll take a look!
