Can you look them up, and show them to me? I came close to digging through the modlog myself, to prove that the number of times in Dec 2023 / Jan 2024 that someone was banned for posting a poll showing Biden behind was 0.
Yes and no. Yes I can, in that I’ve built out at least some of the tools to do so. I can’t in that I’m still at work today and haven’t returned to that project in quite a while.
I mean any one could go find some examples from memory that they experienced. I could dig far enough into my comment history to find them. In-fact I was digging through some banned community members and found some examples just the other day.
What I’m doing is far, far larger in scope. I’m not trying to find one instance, I’m trying to find all of them. I’m also interested in correlating that to “shifts in the overall narrative” to the sub. And I’m trying to do this across several prominent subs. And I’m not doing this in an adhoc way. When I have results they’ll be publishable.
I’ve built some of the more important tools already which allow me to pull the entire comment history of a user and perform significant sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, etc… but some aspects aren’t reliable enough yet to be completely useful.

The first analysis is a “trolling/ not trolling” analysis. Then its a frequency analysis. I used squid because of their preposterous number of comments. Some weeks they were commenting almost ever 3 minutes for hours on end.
If life we’re simpler I’d be further along on this project, but alas, the bills. They do not pay themselves. And its a hobby thing I’m not getting paid for, so its the last to get access to my time.
Ozma’s ban comes to mind pretty lazily. But I’m not trying to do additional work on your behalf right now. I just had a long day and I’m done working for now.

So anyone can look it up, but in order to look it up, you’d have to build some tools and it’s a whole project?
Find a particular modlog entry from last year. See how long it takes.

This is some example output using flyingsqids data: https://tmpweb.net/jS19ePfgNdz0/

Could you find some examples from memory that you experienced, for me?
I feel like we keep having the same conversation here.
