Just got back a message from the mods who told me to grow up and called me a ‘hero’. They also muted me for 28 days so I can’t message them any more. My reply to their ban was this “Banned for deleting my own comment in a 10 year old thread? Funny.”
And just so anyone can see, this is the only message I sent them regarding the ban.
You can consider your Reddit account permabanned too. Powermods will typically report any “backtalk” to the Reddit admins which basically will get you permabanned no matter your infraction history.l
That’s fine with me I was deleting it on the 30th anyhow. Plus this should highlight the pathetic atmosphere over there for anyone who is on the fence about leaving.
Fun fact: Being banned from a community, or reddit as a whole, does not remove content that wasnt specifically removed by mods… it also doesn’t restrict you from editing and removing existing comments.
I was abruptly permanently banned from a sub I have posted in for years for “ban evasion.” I wasn’t banned in any account I use in that sub. I had been inadvertently banned over 6 months ago when a mod accidentally clicked my name but was unbanned hours later when I noticed and told them.
Supposedly Reddit tagged my to the mods of the sub for ban evasion. When told the mods, they sent a ticket to admins who abruptly permanently banned me from Reddit. I appealed, showing them the messages from the mods where they apologized for banning me, and it went no where.
I really think the admins are clamping down wherever they see dissent. I imagine it has more to do with participating in spez’s AMA than anything. Anything to get rid of users that are against their changes.
Reddit working overtime to keep me from ever returning
