Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here?

What in particular prompts you to reply that to a user? As in, do you have a plug-in or something that indicates the number of mod actions taken against a user? Or do you recognize usernames and follow them around as they reply? The number of mod actions also doesn’t necessarily reflect the character of a user since there are always some unjust mods, and there are some actions which mods can take that aren’t punitive (ex. pinning posts).
Additionally, it comes across as an ad hominem attack.
It’s two clicks from the three dots menus. Helps to at least know who you are dealing with
I understand how to access it. I was meaning more so what sparks your motivation to investigate and/or share your findings?
To keep from weighing in on something in error.
You kinda hey in the habit of at least a cursory mod log check if you spend any time on powertrippingbastards, or the modabuse communities.
A shit ton of people will make claims of being sweet, innocent little users while have a long and nasty history of fucking with people.
So, you learn to either check mod logs, or be willing to take heat for jumping in too quickly.
In this post, OP is essentially saying they were falsely accused of something. The only way to know what the deal is, is mod logs and user history. On the surface it could be just like OP claims, particularly when dealing with .ml since they’re known to be trippin.
Turns out, OP is a douchbag and can fuck right off, and the only way to know that is by checking. Blaze is one of those people that, for good or ill, devotes a ton of time and energy into making lemmy a useful and fluid experience. They pretty much always go the extra mile. Some folks are just like that. I’m way too lazy to do it regularly, but I gotta respect the ones that put that effort in
This is true. My own mod log is marred by a mod that called me a pedo for absolutely no reason. Feel free to check.
Then again, the number isn’t necessarily the issue but the contents, right? Which we can also check and judge for ourselves.
reason: racial slur
Every time x3

See, you’re part of the problem. And lol at the content removed for racist slur, when I didn’t have an idea that “Japs” was such (not everybody is from USA, you know…).

I speak two languages. I learned pejorative terms fairly early on in my language learning endeavor since i prefer not to offend people for a simple mistake. Maybe you should do the same for english since you seem to be mostly fluent.
Engywuck@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I speak 3 languages, for that matters, but let’s be real, one can’t be aware of each and every slightly offending term on each one of them. I can honestly say that I didn’t read about “japs” anywhere and that I just found it amusing when it came to my mind (the thread was about an amusing meme). Anyway, I’ll take care from now on.

You do know that it’s just 2 clicks to see a user’s modlog, right? It’s one of the options under the three dots icon on any comment they make
Engywuck@lemm.ee 11 months ago
My question is what led the OP to check my modlog. If they are trying to invalidate my opinion, that’s not the way.

I’ve moderated a community on Reddit before and received ban appeals that look like this:
Meanwhile, in the mod log, it’s revealed that the banned user didn’t say any of that — they actually just used the n-word.
As a result, people are sensitive that some people complaining about mod policies are actually racists that would rather lie than admit the real reason they were banned, even when the actual reason is public knowledge.
