[META] UniversalMonk ban evasion (slrpnk.net)

UniversalMonk has been evading the bot's ban on him by posting from new accounts. That's ban evasion, which on most instances leads to an account-level ban, as far as I know.

I made a report, but just in case it blended in with the noise, I'm posting to let admins know that he's now ban evading from these new accounts. As much fun as he is to interact with, and a good test for the bot's throwaway account detection, I think Lemmy will be improved by nuking these accounts.

The accounts are UniversalMonk at lemm.ee, slrpnk.net, and sh.itjust.works. The first two ban evaded in [email protected], the last one is merely connected to the person who did that.

I think I'll make separate posts to the meta communities for the other two servers. I'm not sure which admin is appropriate for this.

The main issue is that your past account was banned in this community, but you’re now using a new account to post here.

But I wasn't aware of that. And the mod there couldn't find any information on that either. And seriously I have no desire to post there. Especially after this drama.

I think it's strange that his bot banned me, but didn't communicate that to me, and that he can't find any date or information on that.

I legit didn't realize I was banned from the community until I woke up to all this drama. I'm totally happy to stay out of it.

As I said, you may want to read the way moderation works on this community to make sense of this. I can see how it would appear strange to you that you were banned in a community you never posted in it—but it’s just the way the automated ban bot functions. It bans people who get a lot of downvotes.

Unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t notify users of bans which I think is stupid. But on the other hand, since the bot is banning people all the time who don’t care about or participate here, it could be a little annoying to send them notifications all the time.

Or if you don’t care then you can just not post here. Your choice really. If you continue posting the way you normally have in the past, I think the bot will ban you soon anyway due to your downvotes.
