Why can a banned user from another instance continue to post to my magazine? He’s clearly in the ban log but can still post.

      @NOOBMASTER That’s not the case. I’ve attempted to reban the account and it’s the same account, it already comes up as banned. He’s posting to the microblog which doesn’t seem to stop banned users.

        @crossmr can you confirm that he’s posting direct to microblog or is the microblog slurping his content because it matches a tracked tag? If the first it’s a bug, if the second it’s a built-in flaw.

          @cendawanita I don’t know how I can tell the difference, either way, it needs to stop if we’re going to effectively moderate our magazines. I know on his original instance he does have a hashtag that matches the magazine name. If that is the case, it’s a great way to avoid being moderated. Just sit on your private federated instance and post all day while pretending you’re not spamming.

            @crossmr I’ve never had to try this to a blocked account but… For your microblog, do you have posts that’re posted directly there. Like you know it’s posted there. You can even do a test one (Add new post - that type will always go to blog).

            Then, click on More of the test post and select copy to Fediverse. That URL takes you to the original version of the post. If the test post confirms the magazine as it’s original URL, now do the More+copy to Fediverse to that post and see what’s the URL. If it exists back on his home account, then yes, might as well ping Ernest or add an issue ticket. That’s a critical flaw for mods.

              @cendawanita Yeah it’s posted on his instance and is being picked up here, either way we can’t really have that because mods can’t control what gets posted on their magazine.

              @cutitdown And how do I do that? I was digging around but couldn’t see any options for that.

              Just checked, I don’t have any tags set up… the tag he’s using is the name of the magazine.

                @crossmr the way it’s set up (partly because the instance is meant to be proof of concept) is that every mag’s name becomes a hashtag that will be slurped. Try looking at your magazine panel… Hold on… Once you’re there then the tags tab should be to the right.

                :( But I think this is definitely a flaw/worthy to raise a ticket because double-checking with mine, my magazine’s name is not one of the tags i can delete.
