- xdfgh1112 4y agoVery few communities do that, and you generally aren't missing out getting banned from them anyway.
- himinlomax 4y agoYou immediately get a dozen ban notifications if you post in KotakuInaction.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoOr TumblrInAction or PoliticalCompassMemes. Regardless of the content of your responses/posts, you get banned.
- himinlomax 4y agoTulblrInAction has just been banned.
- Sebb767 4y agoDefault subs are doing this. It's one thing if a small sub does strange things, but if a massive sub that explicitly recommend by Reddit acts like this (for years now!), it sends a pretty clear message.
- philjohn 4y agoAnd yet that can also be valid - the /r/teen sub, which is meant as a safe place for teenagers to talk, bans people who've posted in creepy subs - do you disagree with that?
- zarzavat 4y agoThat’s the wrong question to ask. The right question is, for every creepy person caught by that, how many are there who are smart enough to make a new account? The premise of creating via raw moderator power, a safe space for teenagers on an anonymous internet forum that encourages throwaway accounts is ridiculous.
- XorNot 4y agoNo it's exactly the right question to ask, and you're not offering a rebuttal: you're simply making an asinine point about effectiveness.
- Jcowell 4y agoI imagine the calculus involved would say it’s far better to create a safe space for teenagers and rid would be creeps than allow entry for non-teenagers in a space not even meant for them. It would be like getting mad that a school prom doesn’t allow any adults inside. I’m sure there are good adults , but I doubt the intention of random adults and would rather have a whitelist of what adults are allowed.

- thefz 4y agoThe only real answer is that teenagers have no place on the public Internet, let alone a forum dedicated to them
- sirspacey 4y agoI’d encourage you to consider than one of the public goods Reddit provides is to homeless teams & vulnerable people escaping abusive family. Given the incredible breadth of services available to those individuals & yet the very real evidence that it continues to be a significant societal challenges, it’s worth considering the role a supportive community of random strangers play.
- jraby3 4y agoI was banned in a very popular sub (crazyfuckingvideos) with a million subscribers because I also subscribed to banpitbulls. You can’t post any pro Israel news on /r/politics. Their definitely needs to be stronger guidelines in place for mods, especially as they become sizable.
- Sakos 4y ago> You can’t post any pro Israel news on /r/politics. Seems sensible to me when anti-Israel news is pretty much banned everywhere else.
- jrnichols 4y agoPost in /r/lockdownskepticism or pretty much any of the subs questioning the covid19 narrative and the same thing happens. Like 50 subs. Getting banned from the covid-19 subs is also frighteningly easy as well. Any question about vaccine effectiveness or questioning “face coverings” and you’ll either get buried, comment removed, or banned outright.
