I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it’s still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

(Side note: IMO, this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that’s a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I’ve blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

    The 18 number is the number of unread messages I had at the time. They were all “you have been banned.” I just went back and counted; I have 18 messages (across 2 pages of notifications now).

    It’s possible that they extended the length of the ban and doing so gave me another message; the bans were all different lengths. Or it could be some duplication happening server-side.

      If it’s any consolation, you’ll be unbanned from one of them in 2095, and should be unbanned from the rest by 2105.
