People don't like having rules they didn't have a say in applied against them.
Also fairly draconian punishments without a reddit-mandated ratcheting policy for further violations. I once got a 30 day ban for a first offense that was easily dealt with within 5 minutes of my post (which I was in the process of editing) by shadow-banning my post.

- anonymouskimmer 3y agoOf course you can. Complaint is the fundamental bedrock of civilization. Complaint is the first thing which facilitates the overthrow of tyranny. Without complaint compatriots would never have gathered to assert their collective will against powers stronger than any single one of them.
