I think someone mentioned something along those lines int he GitHub thread and made the great point that maybe this should only be available to mods or admins, I forget. i thought it was reasonable.

You know what this feature is really useful for? Seeing who upvotes spammers to preemptively block them. Admittedly, I haven’t had much of a use for that aspect since kbin.social died, but it was neat while it lasted.

To spam on here I suppose it’d be good to try to start a popular community on your own instance and then see who usually reports and downvotes spam, then block them from accounts you plan to use to astroturf or otherwise send spam.
Sigh

Sorry, what’s an upvote spammer and why are they undesirable?

Of is talking about accounts that upvote spam content. For the most part those accounts will be the spammer’s alts that will be posting spam when the current account gets banned. Blocking them while they are still being used for vote manipulation means you wouldn’t have to see their spam in the future.

Wow, did I misread that badly. Thank you for explaining.
