Wild that he was unbanned considering the typical experience with mods who are in the wrong on reddit is that the next mod who gets your PM that typically goes something like, "Hi, this conversation was misread/construed by the mod that banned me. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was $doingGoodThingNotAgainstRules if you could re-instate me. Thank you," is usually met with a double-down where mod2 just defends mod1 and suspends you for a month or reports you to admins for a perma-ban. As a former ircop who went out of my way to be helpful to ... the absolute sludge of EFnet, and then you have great mods like dang, and other forum mods it's very frustrating that reddit mods nearly always assume the absolute worst about someones intentions and are nearly always incredibly rude. I guarantee that /r/java gets nowhere near the amount of reports/spam/etc that we got on EFnet in the 90-2000s. But we also weren't anonymous mods and had reputations to maintain. A lot of IRCops were Ops because we peered our servers to EFnet and we didn't want to be desynced. Obviously this guy was able to get a ton of attention brought to this so pretty clear how he scooted back in, glad they loosened up here.
