I feel like getting banned is all to easy so I’m very curious

I got banned from ohno consequences b/c apparently I was brigading? I did not know that's what that is. They reposted from another subreddit and I guess it was an older post anyway (my ban said the last comment was over 50+ days old) and I and others posted on that original post instead of the ONC post. So yeah, permanent ban on something I didn't realize I was doing wrong. And also today I learned what brigading is, I guess.

So I posted about the false ban and why it was a complete false ban. These strange looking accounts are all coming on my page to attack me, I legit have no idea who these people are or where they are coming from. They keep defending the Mod and are attacking me.

Who tf are these people??? They all have the same monikers and like no profile pictures and no information.

I am BLOCKING all of them. Super weird and creepy.

Yep. After posting about my disabilities to a certain subreddit for months, they finally banned me entirely.

So I had been posting there for awhile, and every time I got unsolicited advice people got nasty after I said 'my post is not for advice'. To the point where my posts got locked and then taken down because people mass reported to the mods.

Well, one of the mods was trying to talk to me about what I personally wanted them to do about it - they did remove comments and the like when they popped up, but couldn't keep my posts up because of how many people were mass reporting them within 24 hours.

I kept replying to them that I don't expect them to nuke every negative commenter from the subreddit, if anything I was able to deal with it myself because I could just block every single user myself with no issue. But I made it clear that them allowing this to happen at all to begin with was not a good look for them.

My last response on that subreddit was me warning someone that if you post on there, you will most likely get a lot of negative comments if you say that you aren't looking for advice. And a mod jumped in, locked the entire thread, then banned me after replying to my comment.

This is the only messages I could find between us. Pretty sure was banned like 7 years ago, I can’t even find the message or email bc my reddit account is so old. I pissed off awkard the turtle and was banned in like 10 subs they moderated but this one won’t say why I was banned, but banned me bc they told me why.

I mostly use this account to vent about things in my life. I made a post the other day on /vent about how I was upset that nobody ever wants to hang out with me because I’m socially awkward and the mods removed the post. No reason given. Then today I posted another rant about how everyone around me gets to go on trips and vacations while I’m stuck being home alone because I don’t have friends to do things with. That post was also removed and I was permanently banned. Again no reason given. I read the rules and nowhere did it say I couldn’t vent about being lonely and missing out on life. I’m so sick of power hungry mods.

We have alot of posts here talking about bans that have taken place but what a post where we can talk about bans that have not happened yet?

For example if someone breaks the same site rule repeatedly despite being asked to address it. Should they be banned AxB number of days where A is a static number we vote on and B is the number of times they broke the rule?

What if they break multiple rules or don't care for the rules?

I invite you to engage in a brainstorm discussion of approaches to bans that are healthy, warranted and civil.

I just shared my story about what happened to me, and I asked the Community questions. People really liked my posts and we were having really deep conversations.

I posted more details about my story, because people were asking me questions about it. I also asked some interesting questions which some people responded to.

All my posts were different from each other, and were on topic. I did not post the same message over and over in rapid succession and I did not harass or attack anyone - so it was NOT spamming.

They kept removing and blocking my posts. I asked the Mod what was wrong with my posts, why are they repeatedly censoring them? They then immediately banned me without any kind of warning.

A temp ban for 3 days because I was "spamming, posting hate speech and trolling". I did NOT do any of these things. The person that runs that subreddit, meaning the Mod is power tripping.

Its complete and total abuse of power. Because of all these problems, I have mostly switched to Discord. There are so many problems with this website, including the power tripping Mods.
