While I suppose it's possible that this was a conspiracy, I'm a little disappointed that not a single person in that thread is considering the possibility that this was a legitimate reaction to a possible account breach? OP logged on from (what would appear to reddit as) public wifi and that posted drastic messages. That's a lot like what it would look like if someone had hijacked a mod account. Deleting those posts isn't crazy, especially if the janitor isn't aware of reddit politics and is just doing their job. Also, not to nitpick, but OP is lying in the title. He clearly wasn't banned, he was temporarily locked out. Like, don't get me wrong, reddit is being incredibly shitty lately, but probably not for these specific reasons.
