If you’re making your own scripts that can wipe out an entire, legitimate, actively contributing member, you’re incompetent and should shut that shit down.

A script should never do that. It should flag them for manual review.

Sorry, but it’s 100% on the mod team. Let’s switch out toxic for incompetent.

I don't really have issue with a bot rate limiting, or suspending users (provided the false positive rate is low enough), but there does need to be a robust appeal and undo process which is the bit which seems to be lacking here.

  That’s always the dilemma. The higher the ratio of banning bots, the higher rate of false positives. Do you want more bots with virtually no users being banned or do you want virtually no bots with a lot of legitiment users being unfairly banned?
  
  The answer most sane people take is the former but not everyone shares that opinion.

    Using scripts to flag possible bots/spammers is fine. The final decision should be made by a human though.

    Sure but you’d need enough volunteers to sort through hundreds or even thousands of flags daily. Not always possible with large userbases but having a ‘likely false positive’ subset that can be done by manual review would be good.
    
    You shouldn’t have lost your contributions and it’s made worse by an ineffective restoration feature.

Flag them for manual review… You forgot that the MANUAL reviewers are f*cking volunteers. LW lost already few because of that trauma. And they would rather wipe a user than have a chance on spreading csam.

  Don’t volunteer if you’re just going to complain about it. You sound worse than Reddit mods.

    You sound like the unfriendly guy that got banned on r/funny with the reason “unfunny”. You are complaining non stop here.

    Says the guy who wrote a rant reply to my week old comment. Cope, buddy.
