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.

    I regularly implement “Never attribute to malice, what could easily explained by stupidity”. It doesn’t sound like it was an “ooops, I accidentally banned this person!” type of situation.

    Givesome pointed out that it looks like their mod log is full of bans of people who aren’t subscribed in the first place.
