I created r/keitruck and r/Seattlegay using two separate accounts obviously. Somewhere during the pandemic, I started getting a ton of unreachable content warnings. Like I couldn’t tell where they were coming from or from who. So I couldn’t actually delete any comment that might have offended someone. I would see one or two per hour. One day it was one every few minutes. When I woke up the next day, all of my accounts were permanently banned. I couldn’t even create a new account. They banned by actual hardware address or something.
I once created a community about sharing IPTV subscription tutorials and Firestick-related tutorials to solve the problem. Because some text and content were said to be due to copyright issues, banned them, causing me to lose some followers. I was sad for a long time because I really worked hard in this community. It takes me a long time to run it almost every day. It has also helped many sports fans and IPTV users solve related problems. Later, I re-created some groups to share my tutorial content, (r/ IviewHDIPTVservice.r /SomeIPTVservices.r/OTV_IPTV) is currently stable. It feels like running a Reddit account takes too much time and is too restrictive! All kinds of teasing... Sometimes it just seems like a joke!
For context, Trash Taste is a podcast run by anime YouTubers. They had Chris Broad (a.k.a. Abroad in Japan) as a guest and it’s safe to say, they’re very friendly with each other so of course they’d share content involving and about Chris there. Someone decided to share Chris’ frustrated tweet about North Korea throwing missiles in Japanese waters, jokingly suggesting that the Japanese military get some “Patriot missiles” (which I’ve been told are purely defensive). For the record, this isn’t the first time NK has done this, and it’s not the first time Chris has been openly frustrated at it.
This ban is ridiculous - it’s not like someone is actually being threatened. It’s just some grumpy British man living in Japan venting his frustrations over a dictatorship trying to bomb the country he’s living in.
I got permabanned from /r/askhistorians for posting a link to reveddit, a site where you could view deleted posts. I did that to inform people that they could use that site to see all the posts that the mods remove (in that subreddit they remove any post that does not provide references).
I thought that the worst case would be that my post would get deleted and I would get a warning. No, they just permabanned me.
I was mad so I appealed telling them that it’s wrong to permaban people for reasons like this. I understand permaban for offensive content. But I still don’t understand their action.
Discussing with them proved that while one of them one reasonable and understanding, the other was completely mad about my action and wanted me to be almost on my knees pleading to remove the permaban. Eventually they “did a vote” and I stayed permabanned. I tried again one year later to no avail - I figured, maybe one year later they would get over it. Nope.
I just stopped checking and recommending /r/askhistorians ever since.
I was reporting a series of blatantly obvious spam bot accounts like I normally do. Nothing fundamentally changed about my behavior. I had warnings in the past for “brigading” because I got into a row with some power tripping mods once, and I guess that was enough to get the permanent hammer. Reddit just had enough of me messing with their free content stream.
Filed an appeal. Never, ever got a response, not even an denial message. Lmfao.
I was permanently suspended from Reddit as a whole for hate speech because in an /r/hockeyplayers “chirp” thread a guy posted a picture of his white skates and I asked if his husband had a matching pair.
It was insensitive, but that’s what chirp threads are for.
I was banned from /r/politics for posting the famous Kennedy quote, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
The ban reason? "Glorifying violence."
I mean, I do glorify violence, I just wasn't doing so at that exact moment.
I got banned from Am I The Asshole for calling someone in OPs story a loser from highschool (90s version of a neck beard who thinks he’s gods gift to the world). Turns out one of the mods was that exact same flavour of loser.
I’m now permanently suspended for saying Andrew Tate deserved to get raped in prison and pointing out the irony of him objecting to house arrest when he was literally keeping people trapped in his house and was raping them. There were posts defending rape, but that was just sooooo offside.
8 years and 200,000+ karma.
Post was obv deleted by the mods (after 200 upvotes) so this is the best I got.
I got permabanned as "antisemitic" for criticizing Israeli politics. That this is a quite common tool used by the Israeli government to shut down any criticism of their actions is nothing new. But to see this applied in a subreddit actually surprised me.
Used to get flagged as a suicide risk when interacting with the IDF foreign relations department. Saying things like the people in sheikh Jarrah deserve to live there.
Banned because I made a meme that reddit was once a platform for free speech now a social engineering tool, found any excuse on my profile to give me a label of hate speech, and also because I disagreed with abortion.
I was shadow banned from r/soccer a few months ago and I still don't know why. To be fair, I didn't even try to contact the mods about it, that sub is awfully toxic anyway.
@1Transient During a time where I temporarily used Reddit (around 2018), I would repost my memes from Instagram to some subreddits. One of the mods got upset at the Instagram watermark and banned me from the subreddit. Pretty hypocritical considering some of that subreddit’s most upvoted posts were Twitter screenshots.
Getting banned from /r/conservative for stupid bullshit is like a liberal rite of passage. I got mine for suggesting, in a thread about Walmart, that the concept of "enough profit" could, theoretically, exist.
Also site-wide banned (then reversed) for "sexualization of minors" when the post they quoted was me doing literally the opposite of that and calling out somebody else for it.
I was banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for following r/conservative then I was banned from both r/conservative and r/libertarian for suggesting that Biden knew about politics. Not that I agreed with him on anything, just that he had an above average understanding of how politics works
