Currently downvotes are enabled on a trial basis, this was done by me to see if they can be enabled to prevent spam from rising to the top of communities, along with the fact that is another form of interaction/feedback.

However I've gotten some pushback for this and so I'd like to see the general consensus of this decision. Please put any comments/concerns in this thread, and please vote here: (Link gone poll is done)

the results of this poll and the comments will determine if we keep or remove downvotes again

do reports downrank posts?

It might even remove the offending post entirely.

[–] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

automatically/instantly? or do you mean after review?

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 points 1 month ago

After review ofc. Good moderators is the core of lemmy communities, not only for removing spam but for keeping things on-topic.

Reports just trigger a mod or admin to review the post when they see it. Reports do not affect the ranking of a post in any way unless moderator action is taken and it's removed.

Reports should not downrank posts. It should notify moderators. Moderators can decide to add a mod comment, hide the comment, delete the comment, message the commenter etc. There can be tools under moderators control to automate this.
