Banned a guy, who’s convinced me the ban was too hasty. I’d like to un-ban the banned. Don’t see any way to do that.

Thanks.

Edit: Resolved. God bless you, every one!

    Comments removed, mods can click from the modlog to the comment. Bans, nope. Clickable links are only what’s blue and red — the mod, the user, and the community. Looks to be the same for any community, something I’ve just learned today. A bit frustrating, but … oh well.

      You can’t interact with the ban action itself (only admins who instance banned someone have a use for that). But If you removed their comment right after the ban, the removals should also be in the mod log near it.

      After doing some searches in the modlog myself for that user in the screenshot, I also could not find a comment removal action by you.

      I then searched your community for any comments made by that user in the standard lemmy search (by selecting comments as a search field, then your community, and then their username as the creator). This showed two comments by them in this thread, so I believe the reason you or I can’t find them in the modlong, is you never removed their comments. You should be able to unban them from that thread. :)

        Oh my golly — thank you. I spent more than two hours trying to find something that user had posted so’s I could access those three fabled dots. Sure hope you spent less time than that!

        Ginormous thanks. :)
