Same thing happened to me. Admins must have gotten a message to do that or something. First time ever was during the protests.

🙄🙄🙄

After giving the admins (and a bunch of mods) in the ModCoord sub a piece of my mind about the site and what it has turned into, I deleted my ~13 year old account. Nothing against the rules so definitely didn’t justify a ban.

Logged in to my NSFW account a few days later to find that account, which I had literally never posted a single comment or post on, was permanently suspended from Reddit as a whole citing “Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit’s content policy.”. Had a look at my deleted account and it has been permanently suspended too, despite no longer existing lol. If I go to the user page of my deleted account it shows the “user is suspended” page, but searching for my username gives no results and if I go to a sub where I know I made a post, the post is there with [deleted] for the username.

So good that not only did they ban my lurking account after I deleted my main, but they also banned my deleted account somehow lol. Definitely didn’t rustle an admins jimmies, did I? haha

Yup, I’ve had this one as well. I probably have a 90% hit rate reporting calls for violence, yet apparently that’s not precise enough for galaxy brain reddit admins.

Even when permanently-suspended, I wonder?

I have reservations on that statement for a few reasons (mainly because I think it makes the nazi problem worse in some respects) but I 100% don’t think that deserves a ban and the general gist is fair. Any sort of bigot generally has not received a taste of their own medicine and lacks the empathy to learn form abstraction.

For my case I received a 3-day sitewide ban for saying, “Fun fact: the immune system synthesizes hydrogen peroxide at infection sites which signals a wider immune response,” and cited 2 science articles. Cited for harassment… lol??

Later, r/news mods (shady fucks who I suspect are compromised with right-wing extremists) banned me without citing a comment or reason. Eventually I made an alt account months later and got perma-banned for ban-evasion (I didn’t try to hide it), and get this, with them citing the previous bullshit suspension as a first-strike which I tried to appeal and they ignored.

Edit: Like the name, by the way. Love Lost Keys / Rosetta Stoned.

My longest temp ban was literally for saying “well I guess the alternative is to kill anyone who disagrees with you.”

Using sarcasm to argue against violence is too violent. 14 days, and they overturned the ban on appeal on day 12.
