You've never been permabanned just for disagreeing with someone you didn't realize was a mod?
Well, it happens, more often than you might realize.
It happens enough that there are entire subs devoted to complaining about it, but not so often most of reddit is unusable or affected.
- delecti 3y agoNo, I have never been banned from any subreddit in my account's nearly 15 year history. Likewise I can't remember any comment or posts being removed, except for automoderated reasons (like a sub that auto-mods profanity, mentions of piracy, or has picky post format requirements). A lot of these examples are suspiciously lacking in precision. Exactly what kinds of things are you disagreeing with mods about that got you in trouble? Posting in exactly which subreddits got you banned from others?
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoYou wouldn't be aware of any comments or posts removed unless automod or a moderator specifically notifies you. They still appear to you as normal, but show as 'removed' to anyone else. I disagreed with a mod in a city subreddit about the best cinema, and was banned for doing so. Didn't insult them, just a difference of opinion. Just for example. This is a pretty common thing which is why there are entire subs dedicated to documenting the behavior.
