As I understand it, user reports go to the community, the community’s instance, as well as the user’s instance if the user is from a separate instance.
My concern is if a user is breaking instance rules across multiple communities it might not rise to a level to catch the attention of instance admins. If my understanding (^) is correct I imagine there is an absolute flood of reports at the instance level making the correlation of reports against a particular user hard to single out.
Is my understanding wrong? Or maybe reports are automatically correlated? Or failing that is there a way to report a user directly to instance admins?
A mod can correct me if im wrong, but my understanding is that, yes, it goes to all of those people
Ive reported a comment before for breaking a community rule, only to have the user banned on my own instance but not in the community or community instance. Which means they can continue interacting with my comments but I can’t see it or respond to it.
Intuitively, it makes sense that if a user is breaking a rule, it should potentially run all the way up the chain - but sometimes the community rule is far stricter and sometimes the instance rule is. Imo they should make this a little cleaner
