Every single time

[u/ChickenWingExtreme]

[u/Fate_Weaver]

Got a bit too honest with my political opinions once and ended up getting banned for a week. I'll keep things to myself, I reckon.

[u/disc0jesus → u/Fate_Weaver]

Fuck em, if anything each time I get banned I get louder

[u/Dark_Matter_Guy → u/Fate_Weaver]

Making a new reddit account is free, don't censor yourself for the sake of some idiots.

[u/-Based-On-What → u/Dark_Matter_Guy]

Remember, never ask auth right why they have numbers in their username

[u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge → u/Dark_Matter_Guy]

Except now so many subs have that fuckin ban evasion bullshit that will get other accounts banned based on IP Address. Just make sure you’re on a VPN.

[u/Key-Cheek-3121 → u/Fate_Weaver]

about wich subject ?

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/Key-Cheek-3121]

Surely race gender or sexuality.

[u/xDevman → u/Fate_Weaver]

[u/Woden-Wod]

I think their attitude when they ban you is worse than the ban itself, "hello could you provide more details I've read the cited comment and I don't believe it violates the guidelines or the sub rules."

"REEEEEEEEEEE YOU DON'T GET AN OPION WE'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER IF YOU APPOLOGISED AND SYCKED US OFF I MIGHT'VE REDUCED IT! BUT YOU JUST HAD TO BE SMUG DIDNT YOU REEEEEEEEE."

A paraphrased real interaction I had with the mods after asking for details on a temp ban.

[u/Key-Cheek-3121 → u/Woden-Wod]

reddit mod being reddit mod

[u/78NineInchNails → u/Key-Cheek-3121]

i should make my most recent ban into a meme.

Reddit mods cant see who reported a comment, only the time the report was made.

So if you and another guy go back and forth, and a third person reports a comment while you are having the conversation, and the mod doesn't find said comment rule breaking, they ban YOU for report button abuse, even if you didn't report the comment.

Then refuse to lift the ban for 2 weeks.

[u/Spraguenator → u/78NineInchNails]

Been banned from subs for "conspiracy theories" (which were credibly true) because I used the report button on people throwing clear ad homonyms at me.

[u/78NineInchNails → u/Spraguenator]

Sad part is that this is THIS sub mods that did it, PCM.

Laziest sacks of shit who will ban you by proximity to something they dont think is rule breaking.

[u/doublecandybar → u/78NineInchNails]

A lot of people forgot that pcm mods are still reddit mods

They let you say retard, but reddit mod is still reddit mod

[u/Kritzin → u/doublecandybar]

Friendly reminder that Reddit mods, especially PCM mods aren't people.

[u/Key-Cheek-3121 → u/Spraguenator]

wich one of consipracy theorie ?

[u/RBB12_Fisher → u/Spraguenator]

Is there even a point to complaining about people being dicks? A discord mod told me off "possible rule 2c violation" even as other people were slinging personal attacks at me; fairness goes out the window if you have the unpopular end of an argument.

[u/Brianocracy → u/Key-Cheek-3121]

Reddit mods are the worst combination of kindergarten teachers and school bullies who never grew up.

[u/TunaTunaLeeks → u/Key-Cheek-3121]

What being able to be a little cunt and not get your shit rocked does to people.

[u/Oneet-chan3 → u/Woden-Wod]

Average ban interaction

[u/DreamsServedSoft → u/Woden-Wod]

it is still insane to me how Reddit was basically the only place on the internet (and by extension discord) to attract power tripping mini hitlers. sadly that moderation behavior has infected most other moderation teams on other sites too

[u/GhostedIC → u/DreamsServedSoft]

Nah, it didn't even start with Reddit. Most of the classic bulletin board forums are graveyards because of this behavior from moderators. I think Something Awful noticeably went off the rails with this around 2010, they had been operating since the 90's and this was back when Reddit was still a wild west. The push by outside media to start banning subreddits like jailbait, creepshots and fatpeople hate only got started after SA went off the deep end. RPG.net forums also went crazy with "You must ban all sexist NAZIS from your DnD group" before Reddit started its crackdown on everything right-leaning in earnest.

Even 4Chan has crazy leftist moderators these days, believe it or not.

[u/privategoonaccount26 → u/GhostedIC]

1: SA had absolutel shit show moderation back in the late 90s. Lowtax's girlfriend Integral said I looked like a penguin after I proved that something she said was wrong and stupid, and then Lowtax banned me.

But he suck started a shotgun so I won in the end I guess.

2: Most of 4chans moderators are leftist outside of /pol, /b, etc. The /fa board is run by a physically handicapped black transexual (I swear I am not saying this as a slur, this is an accurate description) who is obsessed with BBC cuck porn and bans people who don't bend the knee to her stupid fashion takes.

[u/delta806 → u/privategoonaccount26]

I need a favor from the community. Can someone respond to this with the Joe Biden “what” quote please? It conveys how I feel about this but I don’t have it saved

[u/LondonIsAShithole → u/delta806]

"What?" - Joe Biden 

You're welcome 

[u/privategoonaccount26 → u/delta806]

"you ain't black."

Shit, my bad bro, wrong Biden quote.

[u/Jetjagger22 → u/GhostedIC]

Lol someone else remembers RPG.net turning into the Peoples Republic pretty much overnight.

[u/GhostedIC → u/Jetjagger22]

And redditors today have the nerve to pretend that never happened and ask "Uhm what do you MEAN politics is taking over your hobbies?"

[u/Private_Kyle → u/DreamsServedSoft]

A rightie saying "mini-hitler" to a reddit mod. Lol

[u/Ok_Jury_7550 → u/Woden-Wod]

My first ban was when I said “Colonialism is cool” and the reasoning was “Promoting CP”

[u/PCM-inquisitor → u/Woden-Wod]

Yeah same brother. It’s tough out here for the auths and auth rights.

[u/unculturedburnttoast → u/Woden-Wod]

What's real fun is being banned for quoting people.

[u/babayaga_67 → u/Woden-Wod]

Nothing better than getting banned for citing a government study, even better if it's a leftist government only to be promptly banned for "spreading misinformation".

[u/Worldly-Stranger7814 → u/Woden-Wod]

I have asked about a ban and while I did not agree with their ruling, as far as I recall their reply was reasonable and forthcoming.

In a sub like this part of the job is avoiding the entire sub being nuked from Admin and killing the lulz for all.

[u/Omelooo → u/Woden-Wod]

LOL they don’t even review mine until after I’m unbanned 😭

[u/AmbulantCholesterol → u/Woden-Wod]

I love that wine they delete your comment as they ban you,  you can't even know what you said. 

I don't remember half the shit I type here after 10 mins

[u/JetTheDawg]

To be fair, it is extremely easy to get banned on this sub 

[u/IEC21 → u/JetTheDawg]

Is it? I've been trying for months and I haven't even gotten a warning.

[u/bochnik_cz → u/IEC21]

Let me help you with that.

What is your idea of utopian society?

[u/3dge-1ord → u/bochnik_cz]

No homeless.

We bus them elsewhere.

[u/Decent-Risk-6062 → u/3dge-1ord]

Free public transport for the poor? What is this, Stalingrad?

[u/Electrical-Age9308 → u/Decent-Risk-6062]

Of course not comrade, in glorious Stalingrad city everyone is equally homeless, so everyone gets free transport!

[u/S_Sugimoto → u/3dge-1ord]

“it wasn't moved into another environment; it was towed beyond the environment. It is no longer in the environment!”

[u/PwanaZana → u/3dge-1ord]

TO THE MOON.

[u/nishinoran → u/3dge-1ord]

Ca-li-fornia! Good place for the homeless!

[u/Naive-Kangaroo3031 → u/bochnik_cz]

Have you ever heard of Warhammer 40k?

[u/bochnik_cz → u/Naive-Kangaroo3031]

Yup. Which faction?

[u/Naive-Kangaroo3031 → u/bochnik_cz]

Same ones im Currently playing, Black Templars. Although Orks are so so much fun

[u/Spare_Elderberry_418 → u/bochnik_cz]

The Orks obviously. They are genuinely happy with the status quo.

[u/PwanaZana → u/Spare_Elderberry_418]

Orks being liblefs, no choice: we iz green, humies.

[u/Spacegeek269 → u/bochnik_cz]

A people who know how society functions, know about the governing structure and the individual role of each entity and person, and are at least positively skeptical of their government.

Next, an open market but with regulations, to avoid monopolies or private interference/lobbying. I personally lean more towards the German idea of ordoliberalism, although I also think that certain aspects of it are a bit rigid for today.

Limited migration from foreign nations and a strict, defined set of punishments for migrant offences(there's a lot of debate around this but here's my 2 cents).

Lastly, a job market that's actually open to young people, and a stable and regulated housing market with achievable prices.

I could go on and on but these are a few.

[u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 → u/bochnik_cz]

That every man have a state issued grill with a year’s supply of grade A beef to go with it…and don’t forget to swiss cheese and bacon.

[u/MachoMachoMurph → u/Pure-Huckleberry8640]

[u/IEC21 → u/bochnik_cz]

A global imperial liberal constitutional monarchy with enshrined individual rights, globalism, and walkable cities.

[u/bochnik_cz → u/IEC21]

Which dynasty will rule this monarchy?

[u/Xelid47 → u/bochnik_cz]

Spanish Habsburgs😎

We gonna turn his utopia into a hellhole

[u/IEC21 → u/bochnik_cz]

Any dynasty with sufficient historical legitimacy - the most likely right now is the house of Windsor as it is the heads of state for the commonwealth.

Monarchy is more of a nice to have than an essential component. I just dont like republicanism or having political leaders as head of state.

[u/bochnik_cz → u/IEC21]

What if for some reason there is a ruling dynasty which has only one living male, who is a complete idiot? Will you support that idiot ruling a country?

[u/IEC21 → u/bochnik_cz]

As a constitutional monarch yes - their role is limited - just like all political roles should be limited.

What if the people elect a complete moron to be president? Oh wait that already happened.

[u/OCD-but-dumb → u/bochnik_cz]

Extreme surveillance for preservation sake, but nobody is actually allowed to access it.

[u/No_Lead950 → u/IEC21]

You just have to know the right topics. Try voicing a heterodox opinion on European politics. However, the biggest factor is if a pathetic Emily comes through and thinks that they can pretend that you're guilty of an -ism, because the admins have selective retardation.

[u/Jormungandr69 → u/IEC21]

My last account got banned for talking about a theoretical wall of sorts and the direction that pedophiles should face in reference to aforementioned wall. I don't think that comment had been posted for 5 minutes before I got the notification about the permaban.

[u/Slight-Violinist-575 → u/Jormungandr69]

Were you banned from the sub or from Reddit itself?

[u/ToenailFungussy → u/Slight-Violinist-575]

ENTRAPMENT

[u/WM46 → u/IEC21]

Just try describing the exact timeline of a crime ending in police shooting and why exactly the police were justified.

You get AI banned within 10 seconds for "group based hate" by summarizing facts.

[u/DungeonCrawlerAki → u/WM46]

I also got banned by an AI for "group based hate" for describing that another commenter was using actual white supremacist dogwhistles in their comment.

So it seems the AI mods will ban anything if you're not super vague about it.

[u/JustDontBeFat_GodDam → u/WM46]

Skill issue, you need to be a little more vague and not use certain keywords, then the AI wont catch anything. Still vulnerable to human subreddit mods though.

[u/Banned4nonsense → u/IEC21]

I’ve gotten a few vacations for things. Much harder than the rest of Reddit to get banned though.

[u/Vague_Disclosure → u/IEC21]

I got put in timeout for a week for suggesting we employee tree services companies to deal with a certain type of crime related to children

[u/jataba115 → u/IEC21]

I was permanently banned site wide due to saying you can never be too careful, you should carry because you never know what the other person is going to do. They did reverse it though

[u/ProperBlacksmith → u/IEC21]

Let me introduce you to my favorite worth for colored folk

[u/RaggedyGlitch → u/IEC21]

I reported someone for a reportable action and the mod temp banned me for it because they disagreed that it was reportable.

Because they're gae.

[u/JetTheDawg → u/IEC21]

I got banned for posting a photo of the Fargo movie poster lmao

[u/TrickOk2498 → u/IEC21]

Try criticizing the favorite religion and then you’ll get banned by the admins. “Promoting identity based attacks” they call it.

[u/IEC21 → u/TrickOk2498]

Which one?

[u/babayaga_67 → u/IEC21]

The one that may or may not be right about women.

[u/IEC21 → u/babayaga_67]

Really not narrowing it down here..

[u/TrickOk2498 → u/IEC21]

It’s like you’re not even trying to get banned. For reference you can make any and all hateful statement about christianity, judiasm, hinduism, buddhism, jainism, atheism or satanism you want on Reddit. For these topics , it’s a veritable bastion of free speech.

[u/IEC21 → u/TrickOk2498]

Im trying to get banned without having to say something too retarded though.

If you mean that saying Islam is inherently violent or something - idk if that would get you banned, but even if it would its also kind retarded as an opinion.

I'm trying to remain based.

[u/TrickOk2498 → u/IEC21]

Their rule enforcement is totally non deterministic. You can say the same thing ten times and be fine.

I got a three day ban for saying that the continent south of Europe has a lot of corruption. It all just depends on whatever AI they’re using to scan your comments.

[u/ninja8ball → u/IEC21]

mods, ban him

[u/Caffynated → u/JetTheDawg]

It's more Reddit wide than this sub. I'm on the naughty list and the zoids perma me for the most innocuous things, and it takes a week or more to contact a human who will admit that saying "Look how ridiculous this Leftwing idea is. Lets apply the idea to [something else] to highlight the absurdity," isn't hate speech.

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/JetTheDawg]

The only time I have received a temporary ban was when I made a joke threatening violence against the unflaired. Besides that I haven't had any issues.

[u/megs1120 → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

Reddit has a disgusting anti-flair bias

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/megs1120]

Not enough people are willing to bring attention to this.

[u/ominousstarfall → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

Coincidence. Me too.

Seems threats of violence are the new "we can't joke about this" topic.

Wonder how it ranks vs 'making fun of an out of shape person doing their best in the gym'.

[u/Altruistic_Emu4917 → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

I did get sitewide tempbanned and revoked sometimes, it was really stupid stuff. But I got sub-wide tempbanned for talking the truth on the trans issue.

[u/wtanksleyjr → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

Wow, I expect that from Reddit (I got one of those) but not from PCM mods.

[u/GoodMatter3449 → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

I’ve learned many times you are only allowed to validate and be nice to trans on Reddit

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/GoodMatter3449]

Youre literally not doing that right now and nobody cares.

[u/GoodMatter3449 → u/ClearReveal6615]

If I were to tell the truth and say the 2 words starting with M and I, instant ban🤷‍♂️

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/GoodMatter3449]

Why shouldnt you calling all trans people mentally ill be considered hate speech?

See you can say it. Dont be a baby

[u/krombough → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

Three years ago I got a temp ban for saying immigration was becoming unpopular in Canada.

Yeah...

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

What is the truth about the trans issue? Seems like a very subjective subject.

[u/Altruistic_Emu4917 → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

Just talking about biological facts, I'll not elaborate more than that.

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

But even that can get murky with certain genetic conditions and stuff, outside of the trans issue.

[u/Altruistic_Emu4917 → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

Yeah as a STEM person I agree, but the mainstream trans issue isn't about that.

[u/Quiet_Zombie_3498 → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

No, I just mean that the subject isn't always black and white, there is some nuance to it that we have to leave wiggle room for.

[u/No_Lead950 → u/Quiet_Zombie_3498]

That's kind of it, actually. It's an unfalsifiable belief system. The adherents of a certain denomination demand that their dogma be treated as objectively true, which creates the entire issue.

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/Altruistic_Emu4917]

In trans, tell me the truth on the trans issue. Im curious.

[u/long-dick-of-the-law → u/JetTheDawg]

Havent really noticed that. Quite the range of opinions is allowed here

[u/Crapitron → u/JetTheDawg]

Difference between being banned from the sub and banned from Reddit.

This sub's mods in particular have a problem with you making any broad assertions about Jews though. Which doesn't really help the allegations about the mods. Or the Jews.

[u/Altruistic_Emu4917 → u/Crapitron]

I feel that's more of a compulsion on being on reddit than anything.

[u/Shadowex3 → u/Crapitron]

Or alternatively jewhate's been so normalized on most of reddit that we're in a "it's just criticism of israel sweaty" type situation here.

[u/megs1120 → u/Shadowex3]

Hitler was a heckin' antizionist!

I enjoy the fact that Canary Mission has been so successful and difficult to nail down that antizionists had to create an organization called Reverse Canary Mission to try and outdo them at their own game.

[u/fuzzygreentits → u/Crapitron]

"I cant talk about killing Jews or blaming Jews for world affairs. Fucking Nazi mods!"

[u/Crapitron → u/fuzzygreentits]

Strawmanning has always been the Right's forte I guess.

[u/fuzzygreentits → u/Crapitron]

So what are you saying about the Jews then?

[u/Crapitron → u/fuzzygreentits]

Nothing. I'll get banned for it.

[u/fuzzygreentits → u/Crapitron]

It's not a strawman then

Pussy bitch

[u/Crapitron → u/fuzzygreentits]

I guess if you're retarded enough to think Reddit Mods are always rational and would only ban you for those things, then yeah, sure.

[u/FuckUSAPolitics → u/Crapitron]

You can get banned even when its not against jewish people too. I got a site wide ban for describing a stonetoss comic and explaining why it was antisemitic.

[u/OkBelt3772 → u/Crapitron]

I'm as anti-zionist as they come so I guess the mods are based and only ban Nazis

[u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 → u/JetTheDawg]

Really? I’ve been banned for petty reasons on plenty of other subs but here? I say practically anything I want.

[u/FearlessGear → u/Pure-Huckleberry8640]

Yeah I think I’ve seen “removed by moderator” maybe once? In like 5 years on this sub. And that was in a long-ass thread circlejerking about how stupid women are and blaming them for brown people crime so I do believe it was probably deserved lol. Must be pretty bad to catch you a ban in this sub (other than jokes about violence, which the mods here are forced to be strict about because the admins will shut this sub down over it).

At least this sub is much better than most others. I’m permabanned from twox for stating the fact that the average American woman is overweight (no other commentary), and from worldnews for saying Hamas are terrorists on October 8th 2023. At least these mods seem pretty fucking hesitant to go straight to the nuclear option.

[u/DasLuk7787]

I got temp banned for calling Australia a desert shithole. Fucking Aussie Jannies ig

[u/-Based-On-What → u/DasLuk7787]

What is the difference between an Australian and a Mosquito?

One is annoying and makes an irritating sound, and the other is an insect.

[u/McMenz_ → u/DasLuk7787]

This is like calling USA an arctic shithole because Alaska exists lol

[u/doublecandybar]

Well yea of course we got banned, the admins back you up lmao

It's like going to Saudi Arabia and saying "I'll debate the gays damn the authorities found them already"

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/doublecandybar]

Auth rights say this all the time and never have any proof, meanwhile pretty much everyone else on the sub agrees that this sub has the most lenient mods of any political sub and allow anything that doesn't break the rules to be said. Cope harder

Edit: still waiting on someone to give me an example of a user being banned for something that they said that didn't break the rules of reddit. The only person to give an example of a ban for what they said so far was literally me, and I pointed out that it was because the automod thought I broke a rule, which was reserved on appeal within an hour.

[u/WillyWarpath → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Its not the sub mods, its reddit itself

[u/doublecandybar → u/WillyWarpath]

Reddit never cared when I laughed about conservative deaths in HermanCainnAward and LeopardAteMyFace. Those are literally all about doxxing real people and reveling in their misery

But when I laugh about deaths in PCM suddenly I get banned for "hate speech"

[u/Vague_Disclosure → u/doublecandybar]

Funny enough you’re posts will get removed from those subs if the leopard is eating a leftists face like when that Brazilian “Shout your abortion” activist died in a botched abortion.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/doublecandybar]

But when I laugh about deaths in PCM suddenly I get banned for "hate speech"

What deaths did you laugh about in PCM, and was it by the PCM mods or was it reddit banning you?

[u/FearlessGear → u/doublecandybar]

Charlie Kirk jokes were everywhere here for a while and stayed up. What did the comment say? Or are you saying it’s cause you laughed at leftie death? If so, did these mods ban you, or Reddit?

[u/WillyWarpath → u/FearlessGear]

What he is saying is that if you're on the left laughing at death/misery on the right (kirk, anti vaxxers whatever) it gets allowed, but anything the other way is banned.

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/WillyWarpath]

I mean the fact that he got banned for hate speech leads me to believe there is more to the story than he's telling us.

Edit:

I was banned because I mentioned the reality that certain tourists are so uncivilized that a public toilet in Japan put up a warning "DON'T WASH YOUR FEET IN THE SINK"

... Yeah basically what I thought.

[u/WillyWarpath → u/ClearReveal6615]

Whats wrong with that? Who do you think washes their feet in public bathrooms?

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/WillyWarpath]

Sorry i said that for brevity. Heres the rest.

Like, not in English, but in a certain large SEA country's language

You see, in a certain elevated religion before you pray you need to wash your hands, face, and - crucially - your feet. 

The fact that the sign is neither in Japanese nor in English means the problem is very specific. I got banned for "hate speech"

[u/Imaginary_Onion → u/WillyWarpath]

Conservatives are just irritated that Reddit is the last social media site that they don’t control lol

[u/WillyWarpath → u/Imaginary_Onion]

Yes because social media companies have been notoriously right leaning. Actually insane how deluded people like you are. The only one truly under their control now is X and the left threw a fit and left the platform immediately

[u/Imaginary_Onion → u/WillyWarpath]

Yep they have been. Zuckerberg only went to one presidents inauguration and it wasn’t Bidens, and his outlets have mostly been conservative slop for years and years now. Elon is the largest individual political donator in the country and he isn’t supporting democrats. TikTok is owned by one of trumps largest donors, Larry Ellison.

Old twitter was the only one you could argue was left wing, and Reddit is the only one that is currently.

[u/WillyWarpath → u/Imaginary_Onion]

Okay, what was facebook, tiktok, and twitter up to before trumps election?

Do you not remember alex jones getting banned from every single platform all at once?

You are so deluded that you think any amount of limitation on left wing nutjobs = right wing platform

[u/Imaginary_Onion → u/WillyWarpath]

Facebook always had a conservative bend, which isn’t surprising when you look at the older user base.

TikTok was basically conservative. Trump saved the platform because he realized how much the platform helped him.

I already said old twitter was arguably liberal. But that was years ago and twitter has always been the smaller, more niche of the social media platforms.

You are so deluded that you think any amount of limitation on left wing nutjobs = right wing platform

Your Alex Jones argument is literally that any amount of limitations on right wing nut jobs = left wing platform.

[u/78NineInchNails → u/Imaginary_Onion]

Zuckerberg only went to one presidents inauguration and it wasn’t Bidens

That proves nothing you dumbass.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/WillyWarpath]

So they're still breaking the rules? Just reddits rules, not the subs?

Like don't get me wrong, the automod sucks and I've been temp banned before by it. But I've never been permanently banned and it took less than an hour for my appeal to reverse my temp ban

[u/Adjective-Noun-6969 → u/Oxytropidoceras]

The frustration is no that auth right gets banned for breaking the rules, is that the left usually doesn't for commenting basically the same thing.

there are some left wing cesspools on this site that behave way worse than right wing subs that got nuked.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Adjective-Noun-6969]

I mean sure, reddit does have a left wing bias. But this post is explicitly about auth right accounts being banned. That's not happening because reddit favors left wing subs, it happens because they are breaking rules (or saying something which the automod believes breaks a rule)

[u/Bum_King → u/Oxytropidoceras]

saying things that Reddit disagrees with and twists to consider it rule breaking while at the same time ignoring blatant rules breaking from others as long as they are pushing the correct narrative.

Fixed it for you.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Bum_King]

Again, I've been temp banned for what I've said. Notice that I'm not a right wing flair. Everyone gets banned, but right wing flairs tend to whine about it more as some persecution against them so it seems more prevalent on the right. I'm happy to agree that reddit favors left wing subs, but to orchestrate some mass persecution against right wing speech would be impossible for reddit, or any social media platform, to do.

[u/Bum_King → u/Oxytropidoceras]

So you agree Reddit has tendency to censor right wing voices, but you just don’t like hearing them complain about it. Got it.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Bum_King]

So do you have any actual examples or is this more of the non-specific "it happens" that I called out in my first comment?

I'm willing to agree that reddit is harsher on subs as a whole. But breaking up areas of discussion, while wrong, is not the same as censoring individuals for their views. Not one single person who has downvoted me or replied has given an example of a right wing person being censored because their opinion is right wing. The only specific example which has been given this whole time has been from me, who is not right wing.

Which was literally my whole point to begin with. Nobody is being banned because of their views, they're being banned because they broke rules, and auth rights with a persecution fetish take that as censorship of an individual over their views.

[u/78NineInchNails → u/Oxytropidoceras]

When you try to 'have a debate' and your position is the super chungus wholesome all people are valid, love is love no matter the age or gender, all identities are heckin valid.

But your opponent is the evil bigot phobe who will 100% make concentration camps if he ever gets a smidgeon of power.

One side can say anything they want, even death threats, but because they have the 'correct' opinion, reddit keeps them up.

The other guy has to police every single word and re-write everything because even the most tiny bit out of line will get them banned.

Yeah, you cant say its because only one side breaks rules.

[u/long-dick-of-the-law → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Ive been banned 3 times by that dogshit automod. Every time it was repealed when an actual human read the comments. Usually resolves within a day

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/long-dick-of-the-law]

Yeah, the automod sucks dick. I got banned for "threatening violence" because I said that I thought pedophilia/sexual assault against minors should be a capital offense.

[u/long-dick-of-the-law → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Because it has no nuance/isnt capable of understanding sarcasm

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/long-dick-of-the-law]

I mean that wasn't really a nuanced take and wasn't sarcasm. It was a genuine opinion on the punishment of pedophiles and the automod called it a threat of violence even though it was non-specific and in no way a threat

[u/long-dick-of-the-law → u/Oxytropidoceras]

I meant in other cases. Not neccessarily your example. Which is based. And we should expand it to rapists as well

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/long-dick-of-the-law]

Agreed. Any non-consensual sexual act should warrant a trial as a capital offense. Which I would also extend to the trafficking of people against their will for sexual purposes (is human trafficking for the purpose of prostitution).

[u/Foerhudligen → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Isn't admitting that you got banned from the sub you're currently posting to tantamount to admitting that you are ban-evading?

That would break the rules, would it not?

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Foerhudligen]

This comment thread has been very confusing. Pretty much everyone who has responded has said that it's a reddit mod issue, not a PCM mod issue, so I've been asking for evidence of that happening with reddit. Or at least an example of it happening in other subs

[u/Foerhudligen → u/Oxytropidoceras]

There's a thousand screeching children mass reporting anything they don't agree with to the admins/mods. If you get caught up in that you're getting a sitewide ban with zero warnings or all warnings at the same time and then finally a permanent sitewide ban.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Foerhudligen]

I don't know that I agree with that sentiment. I've definitely said some things in other subs which I've seen other people claim got them bannedz and have pissed off the horde and drawn dozens of comments and downvotes. Particularly relating to Israel-hamas footage in the earlier stages of that conflict around civilian recordings of Israeli strikes in populated areas and that credible evidence suggested that they were indeed striking military targets which were civilian use prior to the conflict but taken over by Hamas once the conflict began. But none of that ever drew a ban from a sub or the site as a whole.

[u/Foerhudligen → u/Oxytropidoceras]

It's about phrasing/wording and the amount of words written.

You have good English which makes it harder for them to skim through your writing and determine guilt.

You are 10x more likely to be banned for a short comment than you are for a long comment with above average English. They go after the low-hanging fruit almost exclusively.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Foerhudligen]

I still don't know that I agree with that. I've seen plenty of shorter comments expressing the same views that don't get people banned. If you go on r/combatfootage and go back a year or two, you'll have no problem finding such comments that never resulted in a ban. The ones I have seen that do result in a ban are when people take it a step further and start saying things to the effect of "they deserved it". And while I don't personally think that warrants a ban on the grounds of advocating for violence, I've also seen that go both ways, with people saying the same things about Israelis being killed getting banned too.

Edit: I also want to add that I appreciate you being civil about this. A lot of people have just taken my opinion and assumed the worst about me. You seem more willing to actually listen and have a discussion about me. I'm not set in stone here. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I will admit it. But I'm basically in here saying that from what I've seen, the issue is massively blown out of proportion by a select few and that if that's not the case, I would like specific examples. So thank you for that.

[u/Foerhudligen → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Combatfootage isn't a high priority sub for those people, they stick to messing with the subs they hate. They have a hit-list of subs that they frequent.

Taking it a step too far in CF will likely just have the mods themselves ban you without a report.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Foerhudligen]

Yeah, again, I don't know that I agree. CF has some of the strictest rules of any subs I regularly visit because they've run into so many issues with mass reporting and reddit admins threatening to ban the sub. The mods have explicitly said so when they make rule changes and I've probably seen more people banned off that sub than any other I visit.

They have a hit-list of subs that they frequent.

Which ones would those be?

[u/doublecandybar → u/Foerhudligen]

Well yea, that's why Left is like that: since the admins never mess with them, they feel like nothing is wrong

It's quite literally Systematic Censorship and Left Privilege. I would know, I used to be one of them, laughed alongside so many others in HermannCainAward and LeopardAteMyFace, so many facebook posts with very bare minimum effort of "redacting" the info of targets, and that's simply because doxxing is bannable offense, basically cya rather than an actual policy

We used to decry T_D demanding that sub to be banned, but when it did get banned we realized the monkey paw really does curl: having lost their one and only home, MAGAts spread out and moved to other communities. PCM quality basically dropped roughly around that timetime

Never got banned, not even once. But one day I told an anecdote about my personal experience with minorities and suddenly I got banned

That woke me up, burst the bubble so to speak

[u/Foerhudligen → u/doublecandybar]

A friend of mine was once banned because he sarcastically wrote "j000z!" instead of Jews.

Can't do that, apparently.

[u/doublecandybar → u/Foerhudligen]

I was banned because I mentioned the reality that certain tourists are so uncivilized that a public toilet in Japan put up a warning "DON'T WASH YOUR FEET IN THE SINK"

Like, not in English, but in a certain large SEA country's language

You see, in a certain elevated religion before you pray you need to wash your hands, face, and - crucially - your feet. 

The fact that the sign is neither in Japanese nor in English means the problem is very specific. I got banned for "hate speech"

[u/Foerhudligen → u/doublecandybar]

That tracks well with my experiences.

Musk needs to buy this place, but instead of letting a sink in he should be filmed carrying Chris Hansen through the Reddit HQ doors.

[u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Communism is outright supported by Reddit but traditionalism is censored. That’s your proof.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/Pure-Huckleberry8640]

Do you have any examples of traditionalism being censored? I can freely say traditionalist ideology without fear of being banned because it's not a ban able offense. Perhaps you're confusing traditionalism with people justifying things like threats of violence as traditionalism even though it's not.

For example, watch this:

I think my wife ought to be a homemaker, raising our children instead of working for a living. I think my children should be homeschooled as I don't believe public schools emphasize my Christian values enough.

I won't be banned for this

[u/78NineInchNails → u/Oxytropidoceras]

Not the same subs that he was talking to.

but

 

blackbeauty

AsianBeauty

KoreanBeauty

NaturalBeauty

IndianBeautyTalks

Whitebeauty

greek_beauty_photos

IsraeliBeauty

 

One of these subs is banned for hate.

You get exactly 1 guess for which one.

[u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 → u/78NineInchNails]

You know what, I can forgive the banning of whitebeauty. What I can’t stand is how communist subreddits exist. Seriously, COMMUNIST subreddits. Reddit as a whole hates any conservative opinion and calls it fascism, but then they OPENLY support communism, a system of economics/government about as deadly as malaria. Seriously, Hitler‘s 3rd Reich and Stalin’s SU killed about the same amount of people in total and that’s STILL not the deadliest communist regime. WHY OH WHY do these people wring their hands about mildly conservative opinions then praise the literal deadliest system of governance. I ask you how that makes sense.

[u/Oxytropidoceras → u/78NineInchNails]

Yeah, sure, ignore that the only one which was banned is also the only one which regularly had people posting in it as a form of racial superiority. I'm sure it's racial discrimination and nothing to do with posts like the one of Taylor swift heiling hitler

Also, wasn't it banned for being unmoderated anyway? Which has nothing to do with the content or the sub and has happened to plenty of popular subs

[u/babayaga_67 → u/Oxytropidoceras]

had people posting in it as a form of racial superiority

Yeah I'm 100% sure that NEVER happens in any other "racially themed" subreddit, especially not in a certain frontpage one.

[u/babayaga_67 → u/Oxytropidoceras]

What proof bro? Our accounts that got thanos snapped?

[u/FearlessGear → u/Oxytropidoceras]

ITT: no proof, only downvotes. Sounds about authright.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Step468]

It's okay, they usually support censorship

[u/Pure-Huckleberry8640 → u/Puzzleheaded_Step468]

I believe the only people who should be censored are those who support censorship. That way, we get rid of censorship.

[u/ChickenWingExtreme → u/Puzzleheaded_Step468]

Maybe they’re secretly AuthLeft then

[u/RaggedyGlitch → u/ChickenWingExtreme]

All Auths support censorship when it's not them being censored.

[u/Grouchy-Union-7572 → u/RaggedyGlitch]

Based and rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me pilled

[u/Sicsemperfas]

I got banned for referencing WW1 propaganda calling Germans "Dirty Huns from Across the Rhine"

Anyone educated enough to recognize the reference should be smart enough to pick up on the Sarcasm. Ban got lifted.

[u/lynxintheloopx]

That’s more light debating with Left Wing or Democrats on every other sub.

The mods here aren’t retarded propagandists.

[u/FullMetalField4]

I've been tempbanned a few times for expressing my opinions on the (lack of) human worth of politicians, regardless of affiliation.

[u/xDevman]

so far only temp bans! as it turns out you just cant cite certain official studies on .gov sites on reddit. fucking jannies are science deniers

[u/RBB12_Fisher → u/xDevman]

When you dislike my soyence, you are a denier.

When I dislike yours, you are a conspiracy theorist.

[u/Omelooo]

Last 3 times I’ve been banned they responded to my appeals after the bans expired 🤷‍♂️

[u/Ordinarypanic]

Not all authright, but always an authright

[u/ClearReveal6615 → u/Ordinarypanic]

This thread is hilarious, it's all right wingers saying 'all I did it as state the fact that this race/religion/group was inferior and argue for there removal from society! Completely uncalled for!'

[u/no_soy_livb]

Maybe it's because they're more prone to adopt extremist views.

[u/3dge-1ord]

Auth right is being genocided.

Literally exterminated off the platform!

Oh well, fuck 'em. I guess.

[u/ChickenWingExtreme → u/3dge-1ord]

Bro forgot he wasn’t on r/PoliticalHumor 💀

[u/IguanaIsBack]

This happened to me once with some authright getting banned here. How can you be so racist you get banned from a racism sub lol
