It used to be the case Reddit itself would run spambots, and if you reported them you'd be banned. Also they have a habit of, if a subreddit isn't moderated how they like, finding excuses to ban the moderators and then either ban the subreddit for being unmoderated or replace the moderators. There were also times they just replaced a moderator list because they didn't like how the subreddit was moderated if there was a financial or reputation incentive to do so. Are these things not still the case?

I tried doing a quick search, but couldn't find anything. Banning users for reporting bots is a crazy moderation decision...
- immibis 10mo agoSince it happened several years ago it would be hard to find now. Here's a different, related issue that I did find (with links to several more threads): https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/17bkv3f/false_bans_issued_for_report_abuse https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/17bkv3f/false_b...
