Reddit no longer links your content when they ban you, and you can only appeal once

Clown company doing clown things.

I got banned for telling someone it's important to check for cancer, on a post about a sports person that died from rectal cancer, and I was banned permanently for "harassment".

I appealed and lost.

Sorry, I don't know where or how I broke the rules, can you show and explain it to me?

No

But then how will I avoid breaking rules in the future?

Yes

Nothing new, actually. When I was banned years ago (suspiciously after calling out some astroturfing), they didn't give a reason either.

Yea this recently happened to me. A had an argument with a mod and he reported a non offensive comment I had on his subreddit as a ban evasion. I got suspended for ban evasion despite not having another account. After my suspension ended he reported the exact same comment again giving me a second suspension. After the 3rd time I got banned entirely. 10+ year account with no prior suspensions/bans just gone because of one mod. Between that and RIF being gone, I'm just done with reddit.

The mods over there are hardcore power trippers. And when I say power trippers, I really mean capricious, vindictive, hypocritical, arbitrary cunts.

It's almost like total control over content and no recourse is the goal! Garbage company, move on from it...

My guy, at this point you're only abusing yourself. Time to look at the writing on the wall, that site died months ago (or years ago in my opinion), you will only suffer using it.

Stop! You've broken the law!

Chances are you engaged in one of the following:

Arguing an objectively correct viewpoint with a moron.

Engaged in political sarcasm.

Made use of hyperbole, facetiousness, or facetious hyperbole.

Made a mod look stupid on their alt. account.

Hurt a fascists feelings.

Engaged in dark humour. (It's like food, not everybody gets it.)

Engaged in anti-reddit activism.

Or just cause.

If you're feeling vindictive you can still request your data under GDPR every 30 days even on banned accounts and they have to comply by law.

No one regrets getting banned from digg.

Ban their domain name in yours "hosts" file

Stop giving them views and complain about it

Isn't it trivial anyway, since you can still create unlimited anonymous accounts via old.reddit? I guess getting banned may actually matter for the subs that have a karma minimum to post, but...

...You could also just not use reddit.

Reddit? That’s still a thing?

This just so bad on so many levels.

Reddit, people, need to explain why; is it a insta ban ? If you’re not explaining the reason nor linking the post in question; you’re offering zero path back

One more reason to delete Reddit

I got banned from Reddit while I was on a work trip to the USA. Hadn't posted in over a year at the time. I'm absolutely mystified as to why.

They refer you to the content policy but they won't tell you which post might violate it. I asked a few times what it was that caused the ban, but they either just referred to the content policy or once they said "Repeated violations". I actually requested my user data so I could stick up my complete post history publicly and see if anyone else could figure it out. My username was / is sirdeadbeef on reddit.

I haven't put any work into displaying them nicely, this is the format you get them in if you request your data:

I got one for insiding violence, and it was something that everybody could fucking agree on, like punching Nazis or something. I don't remember what it was so long ago. It's fucking bullshit though.

Reddit is trash

I have been banned pre-emptively from subreddits for making comments in other subreddits. The the sad part was my involvement in those toxic community's was to get them to see the other side in a reasonable way. If anyone had actually read the comment there would not have been a ban. I even appealed the ban and they told me I shouldn't even be there and it doesn't matter. Talk about being close minded and toxic!

(It was left wing subreddits banning me for arguing with right wingers in their own spaces, but I did in a soft way that didn't get me outright banned - it showed me that the left wing extreme groups are just as bad as the right - extremism needs to end full stop)

The fact that behavior was allowed on reddit should have been a red flag a long time ago.

Anyone using Reddit for more than search results is doing it wrong. If you have your own content, figure out how to host it yourself and get on the Fediverse.

If I get banned for silly comments I'll find a new instance.

I've never been banned

I got the same exact thing. I think it's because I reported Spez and said "you smell"

I never talk about my exes. Yesterday's gone. It's a new day. Long live Lemmy!

If you were actually harassing somebody I couldn’t care less. When you’re banned what does that look like though? Can you not view anything?

The Nazi admins won.

Another reminder to never trust a site run by a guy who has sex with busty cats.

I was banned for saying “go outside fatso” in /r/cycling

Permanently. No reply to appeal. 15 year old account.

Then about 4 months latter, And without notice , I was re instated. Coincidently the same time Lemmy took off .

dumb thing is they’ll ban you even when you didn’t violate any rules. insane.

Have you read The Trial? Funny how history repeats itself, even if it's from "fiction".

I got permabanned for repeating a meme from the Fark days, yet there are posts of the exact same thing from 12+ years ago that are still up with no issue. Even noting that when I appealed the ban I got the canned "we totally reviewed it, fuck you lol" response.

The only other time I had an issue was when I got a three day suspension for upvoting a Ghislaine Maxwell related post.

reddit finds a way to make their ban system somehow even worse

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they're banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

I got one the other day for "promoting hate" because somebody else started a fight and didn't like the fact that I called them out and insulted them back in the process.

The message I got contained a link which pointed to a comment that said: "Deleted by Reddit".

It was a pretty new comment so I knew what it was about, but had it been some old comment they reported instead I wouldn't have been able to successfully appeal it.

Possibly even worse is the fact that the comment remained deleted even after the ban was appealed.

Reminds me of when someone on an anime subreddit got permabanned for posting a tweet from Abroad in Japan.

Yeah, I got a temp ban for asking if someone’s ex, which they described as a “politician who was a habitual liar” described themselves as Jew-“ish” in reference to George santos.

Appealed, no response. Submitted a support ticket, no response.

I get that it could look bad, but cmon this is a widely known individual.

Edit: Moved a double quote

That's real fuckin bullshit.
