Got banned from some subs once because the editing software I was using to sanitize and delete my account hadn't yet removed an edited comment.
Mod quoted it. Sent it to me and said this makes no sense. Banned.
The comment being edited was 4 years old.
Lmfao
Idiot mods gonna idiot.
Mod was probably a bot and was triggered on your edit
Mod probably has automod set up to notify them of comment edits in old threads.
Automod detects if you edit a comment to have any banned (as per subreddit rules) word regardless and flags it to modqueue
Same thing happened to be. I got banned from over 30 subreddits for using that comment delete app.
