and how will you implement this ban?
Seems pretty clear in the post. A temp community rule stating no politcal posts which would obviously be moderated as any other rules are? Where's the confusion?
I am one moderator that isn't here all the time, it's not going to work. I'd really like to keep this place fun. Please just ignore and downvote like everyone else is doing. Again, I know it's annoying but it's the best route right now.
Hey fair enough, limited bandwith for everyone. If I'm tired of seeing them I cant imagine how you feel.
Have you considered posting a call for other mods to help share the load? Maybe I missed it, haven't been on here THAT long.
Ya I think I'm at the point where the sub has overrun the one moderator and it is no longer fun for me and I'll just unsub.
Best of luck. Oh and I think the bot you are looking for is called SantaBot to delete based off voting thresholds.
Seriously, just block the one dude and I think your problems will be over. Thanks for understanding and I'll check out that bot.
I agree with this. I can't believe how much banning one or two prolific assholes made my lemmy better.
It's just very hard to moderate something like that because every topic is political in some form. Even trying to differentiate between "election related" is hard. Maybe if the moderation team was bigger and there were very specific guidelines on what's ok, it might be possible.
Another aspect of Lemmy people seem to find refreshing is not having to remember too many specific rules for each community. I'm not sure yet on what's the best way to handle that, but I'm leaning towards letting people do some of that filtering themselves.
As an alternative for example, you could encourage people to include some specific keyword in the posts you want to block. This would allow other people to block that one keyword and be done with it. It would work across many communities at once, and it would allow everyone to see the content they want
I meant - I didnt see your name as part of the mod list. You seem like a random user, just like me. I could post all the meta poll posts I like. Its irrelevant if I cant then enforce the results either way.
How will you, the user be enforcing this
