As far as I’m aware, mods can only access banning functionality on user comments.

If someone in a community keeps pestering mods with BS reports, but that user has not posted a comment in the community, is there a way to ban that person?

I can’t seem to find anything in the UI to handle this use case.

    No, I’m increasingly reading reports of actual people getting banned for downvoting a comment or a post, without even having said anything.

    Like, you just casually browse, see something you feel is irrelevant or of bad quality, downvote it, and move on.

    The mod notices the downvote, looks it up, and then just bans the user out of spite.
