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.
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
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
