Adding admin-privileged user ID into bannedUsers of the Comments Plugin
Just found another interesting "bug" similar to the generatorName override. I tried "banning" an admin user (which is myself) from the comments of my hub page by adding the ID into the bannedUsers list and got some bizarre effects. When I re-visited my hub page, the admin comments were hidden, but I could still comment. And after a refresh, weirdly, they showed up. But in a private window, they're hidden.

@perchance I've also done the same with
the-generator-hub-collection, and it yielded even weirder results. The admin comments didn't even hide, and I was still able to comment, even if I refreshed the page multiple times.Have any of you tried this similar approach before?

You can always see and send messages, regardless if you are banned or blocked by someone.

@VioneT Oooh, didn't know that, I think that when you got banned, you can't comment anymore (same with this: https://lemmy.world/post/10020271) 😁

That might be due to some VPNs spamming the comments (not sure what happened there).

@VioneT Basically, Cocell's IP was flagged for spamming comments on a chat, but now for some reason he can comment on a filtered (non-feedback) chat (like mine). Probably got a new IP that's unblocked, just like my case when the main IP of my home router resets to a new one that's unblocked, so I could now comment.
