Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.
If they saw someone consistently downvoting their posts, that’s a decent reason to ban a user.
I don’t know how many posts you downvoted, but I can’t imagine why they needed to pay that much attention to it since their communities are established — unless you were downvoting new content before it had a chance to be seen. When the first vote is down it’s much less likely to gain momentum.
I banned a couple users in the early days of my communities for downvoting posts back to back, every day. I figured if they didn’t like anything I posted anyway but kept looking at it, I’d help them out with a red flag.
So I donno, maybe you deserved it, or maybe they pay too much attention to votes and over-reacted. Probably better to block them if you don’t like their stuff.
