So I try to make heads or tails of this situation. I got randomly banned from a community where I posted a youtube video showing something from a Convention. Then I wanted to post a question today but realised that I couldn't since I was banned. That community is sadly the biggest of all Star Citizen communities (the next one would be from lemmy.world)
I took a look at the Mod log and see the following line in it:
So no clean up of violating comments or posts, just a strict out ban.
The community has a pretty standard ruleset:
further, the moderator @[email protected] hasn't posted anything since a year, so what gives here, or was it some other mod that was able to declare the ban?
If you want to ping them you have to do it as a link like this @[email protected] Just @ing their username doesn't work yet. You'll also have to do it as a new comment since edits won't notify them.
I think it's somehow bugged sometimes it does it as a hyperlink sometimes not.
This is what it looked like to me on mobile since I wrote it
Mobile apps may do it differently, but Lemmy-UI doesn't do it, and the Lemmy backend won't notify people with a plain mention without an embedded link.
