Why does Reddit allow mods to abuse power?
A subreddit has no rule against posting outside information. I had posted info gathered from the FLA Dept of Agriculture as proof, the reason that systemic pesticidess are used, and how to safely use them, and BOOM, lifetime ban...no warning...no 3 day ban, but for life...on my 3rd post.
The Mod also quoted "Reddit Admin team":
"Reminder from the Reddit Admin team: If you use another account to circumvent this community ban, that will be considered a violation of the Reddit Rules and may result in your account being banned from the platform as a whole."
When there is no rule in the Reddit Rules about this. I reported it as impersonation.
But hey, abusing the Reddit Moderator Code of Conduct is lax. There are no rules against what I did, it was directly related to the topic, and when I asked why, the Mod gave me an obtuse answer that was a non answer.
Why is this type of abuse allowed on Reddit?

Mod CoC: Rule 2
- Creating rules that explicitly outline your expectations for members of your community.
Is this a joke or? The post was not deleted; it is still up.
