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?

    Unfortunately, blocking doesn’t actually do anything aside from stopping up from seeing their comments. Someone I blocked is still able to see, reply to, and downvote my posts. It’s frustrating, to say the least.

      Additionally - and I don’t know if this has been fixed - if you’re a mod and you block someone, you also don’t see posts they make on your magazines.

      So they can easily go in and make spam posts and you - as a mod - would never see it.
