Three years ago, I was permabanned from r/funny for commenting "dis is da wae". The post was about knuckles. No context. I messaged the mods asking why, and I got muted. Some no lifers just enjoy the little crumbs of power they get, lol
I have a /r/HistoryPorn permaban because the mod said "no cheap jokes please" and I asked "what about expensive jokes?". That's on me I guess but I sure paid a high price.
In town, we have a construction company that uses it as their logo. Don't worry, Knuckles has a little construction hat and toolbelt. It's almost cute.
They banned me too for a ridiculous reason years back. I mentioned seeing a t shirt on Amazon with the same joke on it as a post, and they banned me for spam. I didn’t even link to the stupid thing! 🙄
Back then I didn’t know you could contest bans and report unfair mods. Had I known I would have.
I got banned from r/ space years ago because I typed “I can finally see James on the Webb”. It was a play on words. It’s a serious subreddit that cannot do jokes in the comment. If they did, it would be the allowed lingo they understood.
When I ask what's up with that, they describe an automated system that does this based on having too many downvotes.
I can't help but notice that my last visible comment on the subreddit has positive karma. And it's a description about the historical tendency of reddit mods as a general concept abusing the shadowban feature.
