And, if you are comfortable with sharing, what are some of the worst things that you’ve seen?

    You might have misinterpreted it. It referes to users falsely reporting users they disagree with. This often happens in the context of political discussions.

    What I didn’t mean is removing comments I personally disagree with. This would indeed be mod abuse.

      Sorry I meant that idiots flooding mods with false reports is abuse of mods ie creating extra work for the mod and taking hsi time away from the actual job.

      I can see threat actors using this tactic to wear down the mod team.

        You are right. We had some of those. They’re gone now.

        EDIT: I was confused, since mod abuse is usually associated with mods acting unprofessionally / in bad faith.
