7 separate posts to the community within an hour of each other, shit posting or not that’s spammy/ rep farming behavior and deserves some kind of mod action. Banned doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a perm ban.

Damn. What did OP do to get banned from shit posting of all things?
As a fairly new Lemmy user, it’s a bit creepy how often I see seemingly normal posts made in the last few hours along with that big red “Banned from community” tag. Starting to feel like there are just snipers on the rooftops waiting to off people who happen to walk by.

Is there rep farming on lemmy?
I thought that Karma or total up/down vote accounts are not a thing here?
HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
That’s not what their moderation history says they were banned for.

How can I look for what a specific user got banned (wihtout searching the entire history) ?

Assuming I understand your question (it wasn’t written very well):
You can’t, but if it’s recent at all like this, you don’t even have to scroll. On desktop, you click the three dots and there are two options for Moderation History that should give you some idea.

Rep farming? How? I’m new to Lemmy but there doesn’t seem to be any sort of user rating or score. Up/down votes on posts or comments don’t seem to effect anything other than that specific post or comment.
There seem to be very few people working hard to support Lemmy communities by making new posts for others to interact with. Looking back through the last 24 hours this community only has 40 posts including OPs. That’s under 2 posts per hour. On a day when OP made 7 whole posts. And this is one of the fastest moving communities on Lemmy.
That’s not good. That’s one of the reasons main a lot of people who do try Lemmy don’t stick around. I can see messaging a user to have a conversation if they start posting a lot to the community, maybe saying to space things out a bit, but not any sort of banning.

The good news is on Lemmy you can check to see what the moderators allege they did wrong, assuming they didn’t write “None” like some of the garbage tier moderators do.
In this case, they allege some of this user’s posts were racist.

So their post “Cueta, Spain right now” was deleted and they were banned for it being racist. I tried to search for whatever the image was in case they’d reposted with an existing title and didn’t find anything… other than learning apparently the situation in Ceuta is completely insane.
I hadn’t heard that news. I had no idea Spain controlled that tiny bit of land at the tip Africa beside Morocco.
But much as the situation is awful and doesn’t seem like a super tasteful topic for a shit post, without seeing whatever it was I can’t see how it could be racist. Looking in to Ceuta you can see it has a crazy history, it’s been part of Spain for like 400 years, and the inhabitants are a mix of people from many places over time, with the bulk of them being much closer to Morrocan than Spanish.
The whole situation is shit, but I don’t see how you could term the folk from one side of a border crossing en masse and loads of violence and death as “racist.”
