modlog link (CW for misogyny and transphobia): https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2019549

sorry to be an armchair admin but noticed this user around today. took a look at their modlog and noticed they have a previous siteban and today had posts removed for overt misogyny and transphobia (the transphobia was a necro of a year-old bookclub thread about Feinberg... bizarre).

anyway, i noticed they've only received a 2-day ban just from the CTH comm. i guess this is in line with the new policies around combating misogyny, but imo this should be a pretty clear cut case for a perma site ban. user from another instance with a previous ban, pops up today and starts posting vile misogyny and seeking out old posts to do transphobia on. why give them a third chance?

This type of thing was pointed out in some other threads and this is the explanation given: https://hexbear.net/comment/5491494

Yeah our beautiful /c/traa mods are getting to these shitters first, then admins are going through and issuing temp/perma sitebans to those users. All the bans are in the modlog so its easy for us to reference for permas but you're right that we need a tracking system, which we are implementing.

So it's comm mods (who don't have the ability to do sitewide bans) doing the frontline work with the intention of admins cleaning up after. But currently the system isn't working very well

right, that makes sense. thank you. still glad I chose to bring up this example as it was pretty egregious.

Their post history is... interesting. Can't say losing them would be a shame.
