The (now-fixed) modlog indicates that no ban actually happened. I tried to ban FCfromSSC and it showed up in the mod log, I'll ping him on Reddit to see if he can try posting.
This suggests that either you clicked the wrong thing (possible), or that the ban feature was broken before and we accidentally fixed it (frankly, also possible), or that it's broken for you but not for me (similarly possible!) Can you try banning someone else and let me know?

I don't wanna start dragging people away from the main site, and everything on here is ephemeral and may be deleted with no notice. Patience! A week or two left, at most, I think.

Practically speaking, the guard is going to be "we ban you if we think you're being a dick about it". There's maybe room for more later, but it's not a priority when we can just spend some admin power on it.

Keep in mind that just because these posts can be made doesn't mean we'll permit them on the actual site. This site is for stresstesting and abusing the system; the real site will be for discussing things.

I'm assuming the upper limit is 16384, simply because that's a power of two. (Maybe 16383.)

Don't worry about it, as long as you aren't doing it intentionally and it doesn't take over the dev site I'm not going to crack down on it too much :)
Mod tools are . . . awkward, but functional, at least!

Well I guess this is a good opportunity to do this!
In keeping with the rules above regarding "low-effort" and "weak-man" comments, and our goal to produce more light than heat, we ask that you refrain from posting bare links to culture-war-related discussions held outside of this sub. If you are going to link to another platform we ask that you please put in the work to contextualize the post and explain why it is relevant to readers of this community.
We're allowing no-effort posting, but this is not no-effort, and it does violate other rules. Please do not do this again. And yes, this is a serious mod response!
now let's, uh, see how I can distinguish this comment and all that stuff
I'm gonna assume that something was broken before and is now unbroken, then :)
