Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

    I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you’ve never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

    for anyone that’s never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

    reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

    and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don’t like so elongated muskrats don’t get thier feewings hurt

    Nice permanent ban!

    I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

    I got suspended for using the word “retard” in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.

      It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.

      Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.

      Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.

      I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.

    I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.

    Still trying appeals but not optimistic.

    Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.

    … Im so bitter.

    Now I’m bitter for you too.

    Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
