In a post regarding climate change I called another user an “Ignorant Slut” like that line from the Office. Anyways got permanently banned site wide and I just can’t help but wonder if that was necessary.

It’s not like I say that all the time, it was a one off instance and they just remove me from their site. I don’t mind it so much since it’s just a Reddit Account but it is really annoying since I can’t help but feel the admins had it out for me as they banned my account unjustly before and then reinstated it. But this time the ignorant slut was all the reason they needed to remove me from their existence.

Anyways just wanted to rant to the void on how dumb Reddit can be sometimes.

    It’s similar to facebook or twitter at this point. You can get suspended for the most silly things, appeal it and they’re “NO we reviewed it and you are VERY bad” and meanwhile, someone can threaten to murder you and you report it, and they’re “we reviewed it and this was perfectly super cool, sorry”.

    I remember getting banned off a subreddit simply because I subscribed to another subreddit that they didn’t approve of lol. When I tried to appeal, even un-subscribing from the other sub, they perma-banned me from the subreddit with no response. Good riddance.

    Yeah, I strongly suspect large numbers of trolls are making very, very heavy use of the reporting features.

    Are you sure that’s what you got banned for? Like, did you get a message saying that’s why? I’ve literally never heard of someone getting site banned for mild name calling.
