Was banned from the sinusitis subreddit for telling (apparently a mod) that a deviated septum absolutely can cause a sinus infection. He got upset and banned me- and even denied my ability to respond to the ban.
Petty? Maybe. But that’s the final straw for me. I just finished deleting all posts and then the account. So sick of arrogant toxic mods.
I’m pretty sure the sitewide admins have a bot that detects ban evasion. The mods share the message with you, it’s the same message on every sub.
The admins might well have some sort of automation, but mods certainly don’t have any visibility of it and the admins never talk about it. Outside of the customisable “ban reason” one liner in the ban message, the entire message is automated (and defined by the admins) - the mods don’t write it.
What sub were you moderating?
Something big like r/videos or something small like r/Iputdoritoesinmyshoes?
A couple of smallish warhammer related subs - /r/battlescribe and r/Eldar/ - not tiny subs, but only a few tens of thousands of users - nowhere near the size of something like /r/videos.
