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.
That’s what you get when you allow moderators to see what people up/downvote. Unfortunately, this is simply human behavior - and you have to implement things with the expectation that they are going to be abused.
