I had been on reddit for over 10 years. I had a huge karma total. I was a mod of several groups. Some political some not. As a mod I never banned anyone unless they obviously broke the group rules, called for violence, or harassed others.

About 5 years ago I was Permanently banned site wide. The post or comment (I don’t remember anymore) violated NO rules but apparently got many “reports”. After about 3 months I was finally able to find an Admin who reviewed my case. They reinstated me and came right out and said that I should not have been banned.

Then about a year ago I was permanently site wide banned again. Same scenario. Obviously broke no rules. But I’ll bet there were tons of “reports” which I think catches the attention of the admins. In my experience there I also saw numerous cases of trolls that would get pissed off at someone and then systematically go through their history and “report” every comment and post.

In the groups that I moderated I would see all the constant “reports”. Most were always from the same people who apparently had empty lives.

I have tried the standard appeal process without even an engagement over the issue by an Admin. I get the feeling that it is totally automated now and there are no actual ban reviews.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get to an individual Admin where I could actually discuss my ban?

    Weren’t you banned from Lemm.ee for posting scat porn in a tech community and dumping a bunch of comments in an Autism community calling them the R word? You ran the conservativememes2 community too. The echo chamber where you could crosspost all your atheist memes and ban anybody else who called you out.

    It seems you have a history of being banned. I don’t really buy that you were banned after violating no rules.

      I did NONE of those things. I have never posted any kind of porn anywhere and never would.

      I have a nephew who is autistic and will scream out at anyone who refers to those afflicted with that condition as retarded.

      When I moderated groups at reddit I would ban those who wished me dead or called for violence against me. Do you think that was OK?

          I don’t know what you are talking about. I have stated that I am still banned at reddit. No one let me back and I believe that their appeal process is now automated. So in effect you can never actually make a case as to why you should be reinstated.
