!comicstrips@lemmy.world appears to have very absent moderation. Despite recent adjustments to the comm rules to limit users to two posts a day maximum, @beep@lemmus.org is consistently breaking this rule.
In addition, they have been identified by members of the community to be intentionally removing artist attribution from their posts through cropping, and when cropping cannot be applied, through use of AI image manipulation tools.
When called out about this, they have made a post (https://lemmus.org/post/21226925) pushing for a rule change in the comm to ban all “advertising”. When asked for specifics on what they meant, they have clarified that this includes artist signatures in their comics.
This isn’t a crisis by any means, but this is clearly someone engaging with the community in bad faith and taking advatage of a lack of active moderation. This appeared to be the best way to draw proper attention to this matter.
Thanks for making the effort. The weird thing is, beep could have just been a bit lazier and not bothered removing the artist credits. Which no one asked for anyway.
Hello, beep has been issued a warning to abide by the posting limits in the community while this rule is in place. We’re also looking into whether a new community moderator will be appointed.
