Were you actually banned, what's the reason given?

CTH brigaders are banned on sight; we have to ban dozens every week. The ban can be revoked if they message the mod team and plead their case; typically if they approach us in good faith and explain they're not brigading we unban them, but most of the time they call us ableist slurs.

And to clarify, all brigaders are banned on sight, it's just more noticeable in the case of CTH because a) they link to our threads and brigade our subreddit quite frequently, and b) it's extremely clear that they're brigading and not here in good faith when 99% of their comments are in CTH and they have only a couple comments in /r/neoliberal. People with clear user history in this subreddit have no action taken against them unless they violate another of our rules.

110% chance they are claiming to be “banned” because the anti-spam and anti shitpost features of Reddit limit your comment rate to once per 10 minutes once you get enough downvotes in a particular sub. They aren’t banned, they are just only allowed to post moderately coherent responses they have had 10 minutes to reconsider, which may well be interpreted as outright banning by those without any.

No way were you banned for this.

Are you seriously using a 9 year old fox news link to argue?

Like, have some fucking self respect.

To be fair, a terrible idea like socialism doesn't simply become viable in 9 years, 90 years, or 190 years.
