It’s two clicks from the three dots menus. Helps to at least know who you are dealing with
Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here?
Squorlple@lemmy.world 2 days agoWhat 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.

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

That’s the train of thought indeed, thanks

Yes, I personally think that if we want this platform to ever reach 100k monthly active users, we have to demonstrate that this platform is better at dealing with trolls than Reddit. Public modlogs help with that, and using them in that way seems reasonable.

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.
