On a discussion about a revolution in Canada I merely suggested that there are no resources to protect the rich in the event of a revolution breaking out.
I even went on to explain I can’t even kill ants though so count me out.
Perma banned for inciting violence, appeal gives you 100 characters to explain so I won’t bother. How do you appeal a site wide ban in one sentence?
12 years of contributing to IT communities and it’s all gone, that’s what I’m upset about.
How would you cause this revolution, which the rich cannot be protected from, to come about? Theoretically?
I think it’s going to happen naturally, canadian youth have basically nothing to lose at this point. We also have mass immigration from india the last few years, majority are aged 25-40 males, and we are already dealing with gang violence which we’ve never had in canada before, things just seem to be ramping up.
/r/CanadianTeachers is a fascinating insight into the way kids are thinking these days.
We basically have no law enforcement or military so unless the USA comes in to help it will probably look something like the purge.
There is also a really bad class divide just between those who own homes and rent and I see examples of resentment over this every single day.
None of what you said explains why a revolution would happen. Maybe a race war due to immigration backlash but certainly not a class based revolution.
It doesn’t really matter if I’m wrong, the point is that I was banned for no fucking reason lol

They sure do like to hand out traffic fines in my part. I always see about 1-2 police cars a day.
I speed every day in victoria for the last 8 years and never been fined
Whoever enforces rules in Reddit has the same basic reading comprehension of a potato that has been hit multiple times with a hoe, and then left to rot under the Summer heat. In fact I bet “being functionally illiterate” is a requirement to work for Reddit, just like “lacking dignity” is to be a moderator there nowadays.
I wonder if they did a deep dive through my comments and saw more they didn’t like. It just doesn’t make sense given the flagged comment alone
What I’m going to say is just a hypothesis from my part. It might be bollocks. But.
For a long time I’ve suspected that Reddit runs some sort of algorithm to predict the profitability of each user, based on factors like
- platform used (desktop vs. mobile)
- running / not running an ad blocker
- if not running an ad blocker, clicking on ads or not
- likelihood of that user to buy Reddit junk (e.g. the “coins” of the past)
- likelihood of that user to attract newer users
- etc.
and then the output of that algorithm is taken into account when handling rule violation. As in: you can go rogue and they’ll give you a short ban if you’re deemed profitable, or a small offence will give you a permaban if unprofitable.
With that said I don’t think that they manually review your earlier posts/comments before enforcing the rules.
Yeah I exclusively used reddit through firefox on android with script blocker and adblocker. Never spent a dime on reddit. This explains a lot if true
Banned from a sinking ship.
Glad to have you.
I’ve been here before and I wasn’t very well liked just to warn you haha
How do you know the reason your account being ban ?
Got the automated message citing rule 1
Same thing happened to me. My comment was “kid deserved it” on a video where, at school a kid called a teacher the n-word and then squared up to fight him. The teacher punched the kid in the face.
That was my comment and there were others saying pretty much the same thing both above and below my comment. 10,000 karma gone.
I’ve been banned from subs before but never from the whole site. Interestingly that was not my only account banned. My main account (which I never post on) was also banned and when I made a new account, that was banned as well.
My theory is that someone flagged me for something and then went to all my posts and also flagged them and a limit was reached that just autobans site wide. That’s the theory anyway.
The funny thing is that all my comments are pretty benign and I actively fight against racism and bigotry on Reddit. I was one of the good guys!
They know your IP address. Any account that logs in with the same IP gets banned.
So you could try a VPN.
How does that work at a university for example? Multiple reddit accounts same household?
Banned from Reddit site wide ? That’s crazy
Site wide. And believe me I have said way more vile things than this in the past.
