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. (kbin.social)

@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 believe the best you can do for now is remove the hashtags from your magazine that pull content into your microblog and it should only show local content then, I believe.

@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.

I'm very sorry, atm it does sound the only thing left you can do is deleting his posts as it shows up on the blog
