As far as I’m aware, mods can only access banning functionality on user comments.

If someone in a community keeps pestering mods with BS reports, but that user has not posted a comment in the community, is there a way to ban that person?

I can’t seem to find anything in the UI to handle this use case.

    It might not be malicious. If a moderator is trying to cultivate a new community and wants certain type of content, one of the things they need to control is the rating of that content.

      Imo that’s malicious.

      They are using their position to influence the trajectory and visibility of posts. The motivation doesn’t matter
