Mods can ban everyone for almost any or even no reason. Unless some racist or otherwise illegal reason would be given, the Reddit admins keep their hands off bans. But the recommendation level came from Reddit, not from the mods of /r&

Yes, but it goes both ways. As a student, I was always thrilled to see bits of future technology today. I am still sad that some of the things I've seen or have taken part in didn't materialize and haven't taken a hold in the
