Comment on An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why
Teppic@kbin.social 11 months agoI 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.

Yes, indeed!
