The incompetence of Reddit staff in recent years has especially impressed me
Tell me about it, I just got a 7 day ban of promoting hate on a samsung sub and my comment had nothing to do with it lol. Some guy decided to randomly abuse and harass me, I reported him and he obviously reported me. I notice he got banned right away but days later so did I for nothing? Lol shows how incompetence and in shambles that the new mods are in.
Ooooh yes. Something similar happened to me out of the blue back in January. I commented, verbatim:
Random fact that I recently learned and thought was kind of cool. One of the very first responses of your body when you get a cut or infection is to synthesize hydrogen peroxide in the area that signals your white blood cells to rally to that area.
I then linked to Science Daily and Harvard articles about it.
Temporary ban for “Harassment,” citing this comment.
Later on I incurred another infraction and my account was permabanned, citing my previous strike as justification for the permanent ban. Smfh. 250 characters to appeal…
Meanwhile these idiots excused cesspools like The_Donald for years. Meanwhile I report a person being objectively racist (Calling them “out of control” and “absolutely feral savages”) and… They reviewed it not once but twice and found nothing wrong. LOL.
I wrote this all up in a medium article in more detail but I’m half-tempted to send all my screenshots to Fidelity and some news outlets for shits.
Wow. I’ve had other ridiculous bans in the past too.
Best one was banned for sexual harassment and being ‘toxic’.
It was back when u/theawkwardturtle was blowing up a storm and some feminist banned me for the word ‘ok’ because she said anyone who would oppose me and awkwardturtle by commenting are going to get a permanent ban and a harassment violation from reddit.
Next mine I was banned from that sub and I got a temp ban from reddit for the word ‘ok’ lmao.
Tried to appeal for the hell of it months later and the mod denied me instantly and said what i done was atrocious and I deserve my ban, called me a horrible human being and said I was a sexualising predator etc.
I’ve always hated reddit mods but man I’m glad I’m not that active on that sespool of hate anymore.
Somehow I missed all that controversy. Looking it up now, wow what a shit-show. Just to clarify for anyone else reading this, it was the user AwkwardTheTurtle not theawkwardturtle.
I was permanently banned from r/militaryporn for pointing out that MRAP was the name of a family of vehicles and not of a single particular one. Some former marine took strange emotional offense at this and spewed a lot of personal insults at me as I linked details a few times to the history of the program. The person commenting at me got extremely vile and an uncalled for, while also being confidently wrong. I just linked facts and didn’t insult in response.

Then I was perma banned. Tis a silly place.
If you’re using a Samsung at this point it’s safe to say you hate yourself lol
Edit - /s because apparently the joke was lost. I could care less what phone anyone uses. You do you.
? Sounds like a little bit jealousy and resentment but ok.
Agreed, that or they’re sub 80 IQ
