Edit: @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com Contacted the moderator who did it on my behalf who admitted that this was a mistake, he sends his apologies. This incident though does highlight though the need for ban notifications as well as the need for a modmail system to contact community and site moderators.
I have left the post up with the original contents bellow as I feel it would be wrong to delete the post and rob people of the valuable information it contains, both in the post itself and in the comment section.
I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it’s power-tripping probably a mistake but it’s certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn’t have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for “sock puppet account” so I don’t even know why I would be singled out.
Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird…
Account is @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world, I didn’t post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).
Yeah, but that increases the complexity. That was my first idea. If it is going to be more complex, then we can make a dedicated modmail page for the mods in a community. We possibly could reuse code from the report functionality. Actually, I’m sure the report system could be readjusted to just be a text from a user. The resolve function is perfect for mod assignments. Then the conversation between the modmail user and the mod can continue in the PMs.
