I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

    I got banned from pcmasterrace for mentioning the old precursor to hydrohomies. Seeing as how it contained the “n word”, I took precaution to censor myself and use asterisks, “water******”. I was banned just for insinuating the name of the subreddit. Nevermind the subreddit was good-natured, open and friendly to all (except soda drinkers). And of course the mod that banned me was was telling me bullshit in my appeal like “quit trying to be cute”. What an asshole.

      Apparently there’s very few actual mods, so they’ve all become jaded fuckasses who just automatically assume you’re the most low down scum imaginable if you break the rules and appealing the ban is just you trying to get a platform to sea lion at them.

      “quit trying to be cute” as if a powertripping mod should be allowed to have anything to say or do about people seeing your messages or not…
