- xdennis 1y agoNot the same person, but as an example, I got banned from r/europe for posting just "I'm proud to be a Romanian!". That was on a post about Romania overtaking Poland to become number one at some anti-woke metric western Europeans care a lot about.
- torginus 1y agoI for example, got permabanned from one of the major politics subreddits. Basically what happened was I wrote a post, and some guy responded to me with a firehose of personal insults. I called him a troll in reply, and within 30 seconds of posting said reply, I was permabanned as a first offense, without any possibility of appeal. Mods be powertrippin over there.
- sumeno 1y agoBeing banned from a subreddit is different from a permaban from reddit that "tracks you across google accounts"
- pesus 1y agoI'm guessing that person signed up with a Google account that was connected to other Google accounts, and when they tried to make a new account it was flagged as "ban evasion".
- to11mtm 1y agoI'll give my example, although it's a bit out of place on my part... /r/news locked/suppressed [0] as 'Politics'. I sent a Message to modmail: Me: Calling this 'politics' makes me ask who's on the an alphabet payroll... Just saying. Reply from modmail: This message makes us think you haven't bothered to read the rules... Just saying. Then I was muted from /r/new modmail for 28 days, while also being perma-banned from /r/news. Months layer, I had left a normal comment on a different thread with a 'mobile' secondary account on /r/news, and found both my desktop and mobile accounts locked for 7 days because the /r/news comment was considered 'ban evasion'. Despite having otherwise commented on /r/news from my mobile account in the meantime with no repercussions. It was within the subreddit rules and reddit TOC to do all of this, I acknowledge, at the same time it's almost like Reddit is hitting that vibe of StackOverflow from a few years ago where mods can just power trip and make the place less useful for everyone...

- busymom0 1y agoA post of mine in the bodybuilding subreddit was removed after 55 points and all 29 comments removed because the mods made up an entirely arbitrary new rule that there should be only one post about a recent bodybuilding show. The subreddit rules had no such thing. They just made it up. When I messaged the mods, they banned me from messaging them. Huh? Another example: Apple subreddit allows developers to self-promote their apps on Sundays. I posted an app of mine. Mods removed it and banned me for 100 days from the subreddit because I had 4 comments within the last month and not 5. This is despite me having lots more comments and posts (multiple posts/comments over 7000 points) over 7 years and in last 2 months instead of last 1 month.
- pesus 1y agoJust adding to the noise, but the thing that finally got my 15+ year old account banned was reporting some blatantly racist comments. Apparently if a subreddit mod agrees with the reported comment, they can just report you for "abusing the report system". The original comment never got removed, of course.
