Now, let us focus on something in that Discord server.

There have been comments floating about with screenshots saying that Jordan has access to a bot that has admin abilities. I can confirm this. I do not know whether he still has access to it but he did for at least a year. How do I know this? Because I did as well. 

Yup, still have access to it. For the longest time it really didn't work that's unfair. It worked poorly. Lots of times it would do nothing, some times it would work. Other times it would just error out.

I just found out the other day when we were dealing with the Dwazou ban evading accounts that it was working again and it was really somewhat helpful shutting that down. The ban worked, the remove content? Not so much.

I used it again a few days ago when someone was posting, I shit you not, neon sign spam. LOL. Does Lemmy have a significant audience for "neon signs for your man cave"? Somebody thought so.

But really I only use it when a) it's super obvious like you and I had with our stalkers, or b) (like the Dwazou and neon crap) there's entirely too much of it to remove manually.

The reason I prefer manual removal is the same reason I don't like the "Remove Content" checkbox when banning a user, it doesn't seem to correctly populate the modlog. If I'm removing someone for cause, I want that documented. It helps everyone going forward to see "Ok, yeah, this guy was making Nazi comments".

But if we're talking about 40 posts hawking neon signs? Yeah, nobody needs to see that. Modlog or not. I don't know if that's a bug with "remove content" or intentional design.
