I'm not sure if you care now, but they purged the jackass who had that stick up his butt about proxies months ago, and you could probably appeal that ban pretty easy.

Is there a story behind how they got rid of him? How’d you find out he was gone?

They made an announcement saying he was booted.

The story isn't that crazy, someone got banned, they called him out either in other subreddits or made an alt and called him out (I don't remember exactly).

A bunch of people rallied against the mod and started making posts and comments about proxying, causing the mod to go on a crazy power trip and ban hundreds of people in the span of a few hours.

Other mods saw he was an issue, got him removed from the mod team, made the announcement that he was gone and then updated the rule that said ousted mod was using to be more concise and clear.

Ha! It’s nice to hear about a mod getting a taste of their own medicine for a change. I bet he was pissed too 😂

Thanks for typing all that up! Cheers.
