Removed because it’s not marked nsfw

we have a few applicants, definitely less than expected lol

It would be a spam bot, so yes. What does a spambot have to do with this at all? Also these are opinions, you ask me for hard numbers when you yourself are stating your opinions as fact. We had multiple reports of harassment and brigading downvotes. We’ll revisit the issue when lemmy updates and/or we can potentially have more moderation tools. I’d love to submit a PR and have fuzzy downvotes and hiding negative comments based on downvotes but, currently I don’t know rust and even if I did this instance is pretty much run by 2 volunteers and we both have day jobs, so to reiterate, it will be back when it can be.

Please mark your post nsfw! I will have to remove it until then.

We removed it for valid reasons and it will be back when it can be

You can apply, no guarantees though!

You can still apply, we could use help with server administration! Just put that you’re majority interested in the administration part in the additional comments field

Feels like you’re trying to snitch on yourself rn lol

This should be fixed now!

Yes, I’m sorry, I can fix that

They’ve been temp banned as a warning, if they do it again they’ll be banned permanently

yep, just added that to the rules

you’ve been added

great question, probably should have covered that lol, just report it, probably best to say “post spam” or something similar in the report

Put it this way, if you were one of the people I was mentioning in the post you would have probably received a short ban by now lol

I think there’s merit to cross-posting, and until I see an egregious misuse of it I don’t want to police users too much, I put this rule into place because I did see a ridiculous amount of posts in single communities. I’ll talk with the other admins and see what their opinion is though.

Yes this is the exact situation lol, multiple people did it

You’re also fine because your posts are to different communities and are often varied, you’re actually a good example of posting a lot without it being spam IMO

I appreciate that, yours isn’t actually that bad, there was someone who posted literally 40+ images in 40+ posts in the same community. Not only that but there were photos of the same image set split across several different posts

you’ve been added to those communities
