Does Lemmy have any moderation tools for dealing with users that always vote down posts because they disagree with a community?

For want of a hypothetical example, say someone created a community dedicated to pineapple on pizza. What's to stop people who strongly disagree with pineapple on pizza to subscribing, and voting down every post?

Once a moderator has viewed the votes, and identified a downvote spammer, what happens next? Is it possible to ban a user from a community just for downvote spamming?

Yes, you can give a reason when you ban a user yes.

Though how do you ban a user who's only downvoted in a community? From what I can tell, the ban option only appears on posts and comments.
