Please don’t downvote posts in this comm because you think a ban was justified. That defeats the purpose of this comm.

    If a ban is justified, then there is (pretty much by definition) no power tripping, right? So I feel like it definitely makes sense for this community to downvote if the ban is justified.

      no this just buries the post and doesn’t transfer the info, that this is why the downvote was cast (and not, say because it’s off-topic). We have text votes for this, check the sidebar

        Ah okay - I will say, the community name is a little misleading. The name makes it sound like it’s for exposing power-tripping mods, but the sidebar suggests it is for asking whether a mod action is justified or not. Perhaps a different name would be more appropriate.

          It’s both. Ultimately it’s to point power overreach, but these kinds of places have a habit to turn toxic, so I’ve structured it in a way which promotes constructive dialogue instead of ranting.

    I worked for a website with up- and down-votes before reddit ever existed. Let me tell you that, no matter what you do or say, the downvote button will always be a disagree button.

    I automatically downvote ‘comm’ as being confusing and fetch. I think the jargon degrades the value of the post or comment.

    If you really wanted to have fun, do a weekly wall of shame where you list the downvoters
