Was banned for 3 days from News seemingly for no reason, no message, nothing just found it scrolling through the modlog
Was banned for 3 days from News seemingly for no reason, no message, nothing just found it scrolling through the modlog
I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it's power-tripping probably a mistake but it's certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn't have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for "sock puppet account" so I don't even know why I would be singled out.
Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird...
Account is @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world, I didn't post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm wondering if it was just because you have alts? But it's not against any rules to have alts afaik so long as you're not doing vote manipulation etc. And yours are clearly identifiable which is another point in your favour here. If you want me to reach out to the mod who banned you on your behalf, just let me know. They might not answer me, but it's maybe worth a shot.
I think that could be helpful, I did also send a message to @kersploosh@lemmy.world to hopefully get a lemmy.world admin response but I suppose you messaging the mod couldn't hurt. Maybe he might answer and clear things up quicker that way.
Ok np, I have messaged the mod who took the action.
Seems it was just an accident - mod sends his apologies.
That's a relief. Glad it was an accident and not something I did.
Can you maybe edit the title with "Resolved" or something similar? It's nice to see good outcomes once in a while
Sure thing, just edited it now. Also added some alt-text, I forgot to do that before.
Thanks!
