This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Looks like the account is reinstated. Good to know that's how to reach human support there: be Literally Paul McCartney.
The posts are gone, though. I hope this was the decision of McCartney or his team. Reddit doesn't deserve him.
My first post, after getting reinstated, would be to tell reddit to go fuck themselves
reddit is ruled by bots now, makes little sense to stay there.
It's always interesting to see people commenting who don't understand how reddit works. Which is fair - you can have an opinion. But knowing how it works makes a difference in how seriously I can take your opinion.
Mods on reddit cannot do a sitewide ban. They can ban you from one or more subreddits they moderate.
Admins do sitewide bans, which is what's happened here, since you can see the profile has been banned.
And these days, with reddit's shitty AI moderation, it probably means a ban done by AI.
Because this is not a normal person, someone will probably take a look at it and overturn it.
If you're a regular joe, however, them taking a look at it even if you appeal is pretty damned rare. And as some have mentioned - things that trigger AI as a "threat of violence" that a normal human would easily see are not - doesn't matter, AI bans. You get a warning, 24-hour, 3-day, 10-day, 30-day, then permanent. Unless there's something that accellerates that.
As much as many people manage to survive without saying things AI picks up on, it's damn easy to get unjustly banned, and it's only gotten worse and worse over time.
Anyone in this thread talking about bans from mods is technically offtopic, except that reddit itself is also the topic, so that's fine, but you should understand that a mod banning you is not similar to what happened here. :P
Yep, I got a site wide ban for wishing a missile strike on Putin. "Threat of violence".. as if it was something that I threatened to do :/
I got one for commenting on the France subreddit that it wasn't surprising some people would carry justice by themselves if the police and courts do nothing. I wasn't justifying, merely explaining. Subreddit ban, then permanent sitewide ban a few minutes later.
Did you send a missile strike?
My ban was because I replied to someone who wished Trump would succumb to his cheeseburger gods. I replied that instead I hope he strokes out and suffers.
Lmfao!
^ I can confirm this. It's why I refuse to interact on Reddit anymore. Fuck em.
They have enough users that they don't care that they could be banning long term users. It is ironic that they have their filters set so hypersensitive for the appearance of purity but I can find tons of hardcore porn on it.
Serially online people have their sense of time unbelievably warped and broken. Why does it matter that pictures from a concert were delayed by a few hours or days? It’s just some fun pictures of a concert.
What if the pictures really were of something bad/private? Isn’t it better that they got taken down to protect the innocent until a human can take a look?
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.
Fuck with Paul at your peril. He'll write a song that will stay in the top 10 for weeks and weeks and the top 100 for years about your sorry ass (sorry John, you're still my favorite though).
You'll hear it everywhere you go....
