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.
With the threat of removing mods for participating in the blackout, I wonder if some of them are deliberately just being extra ban-happy as an alternative.
Sub status don’t mean squat if the users don’t want to post.
Schrodinger’s mod is simultaneously lame and based until you open the box
Pretty much! I like to give the benefit of the doubt when the potential to exists - makes the world feel a lot less shitty.
I thought I replied already to this so this might be a double… I think they are just a bootlicker who needs to go outside more often. Based on the reply I got from them I don’t think they give a shit about their users just their power.
That’s silly, any Reddit moderators that actually care about deleted/edited comments can easily configure automoderator to remove the comment. There’s no need to go on a frenzy to ban every single person editing/removing old comments.
And trust me there are a lot of people editing/deleting comments right now.
Reddit working overtime to keep me from ever returning
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.
