Is there anything that can be done about troll powermods? (media.kbin.social)

I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it's still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

(Side note: IMO, this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that's a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I've blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

looks like he's owner and sole moderator for several magazines

Looks like he got you for a couple more just recently.

Looking through your post history, I don't agree with the "Troll" statement being tied to those bans...

That was me banning him, a gut reaction on my part when I noticed. Maybe childish, but when they revealed himself as a bad actor I didn't want them coming into my communities.

Toxic behavior like this is something that needs to be reported to the server admin (Ernest in this case). We're at the size where reporting this stuff can still be handled on a case by case basis

Wow, banned from a magazine or banned on the entire kbin.social? If an admin is doing that, I'd leave asap and open an account elsewhere.
