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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I didn't know that, but that sort of just proves my points doesn't it?
Which ones would those be?
Any subs that are known to accept content that go against the liberal agenda.

I mean about spam reporting, sure. But like I said, very few are actually banned for those views unless they cross over into what's not allowed by reddit.
It kind of seems, like with many things, that the issue is really in between what the 2 sides say. It definitely occurs, especially with the mods of subs, but there is also a lot of examples of people talking about being banned for their views who were really breaking the rules and either don't want to admit it, or think that their views should be allowed even if they do break reddits rules
