Would you click a button to ban everyone who participated in /WeLoveHitler or would you individually evaluate each one?
- NDlurker 24d agoI wouldn't even look at what other communities someone is participating in
- mitxela 24d agoYou get a flood of people praising Hitler in your subreddit. 1000 per day You have two buttons in front of you: ban individual user (ban form takes 30 seconds minimum to load and fill out), and ban all from /HitlerLovers. Which do you pick.
- NDlurker 24d agoThat's not what happened with r/conspiracy users getting banned in other forums. Yeah I guess it has its place but that feature has been mostly misused from what I've seen.
- mitxela 23d agoYou're also a mod of six different forums. Do you wait until each one gets targeted by /HitlerLovers before configuring the bot to ban them or do you just leave off the filter from the bot and have it ban them everywhere it has power to?
- account42 23d ago> You're also a mod of six different forums. That alone shows that the hyothetical "you" is the last person who should be allowed to moderate anything.
- econ 24d agoThen, with the same stroke of the pen you gave the proverbial Hitler lover the means to purge the proverbial Jew or Palestinian. That one can only do it within reddit is of course merely a technical limitation. The idea can be implemented much more broadly.
- mitxela 24d agoYou know it's not something Reddit set up, right? It's a bot that has moderator powers. They can't really stop you from doing it.
