    I don’t see how you could prematurely know about spammers or trolls until someone reports them.

    I don’t think you can. My suggestion was more focused on how admins make decisions after a report. Right now they have to do a manual scan of the person’s comment history and that is the part I find inefficient. If it was possible to just show extra high level information on the user it might make it easier for the admin to make a decision.

    We don’t plan on adding any text-analyzing AI or anything like that into lemmy’s codebase.

    Yeah using AI to try and analyze comments would be overkill and probably prone to manipulation anyways.

    Edit: I’m sorta talking more specifically towards banning a user or seeing if what a user is doing is a repeated pattern.

      I don’t think there’s a way you could avoid going into their history. I do that as an admin to verify that the account in question is indeed repeatedly breaking rules. I’m open to suggestions tho.
