At least I assume there is more than one subreddit included in this automated ban, but it's hard to be sure just yet.

 

[Boralf]

ok

Draugoth This could have been your thread lol. Misfire?

While I'm not a huge fan of the guy but those extreme crazy rules is very Era like so he should be glad to be banned from those subreddits lol.

"We want to have games that are inclusive to EVERYONE....Except for anyone who we think might critisize or disagree with us. Then you're banned."

It's pretty commok for subreddits to do this.

It's pretty commok for subreddits to do this.

I actually was quite a regular in that particular subreddit around the time when Trespasser (the last DLC for Inquisition) was released. At the time, it was quite ok to be critical of various aspects of the series. But, I guess times have changed.

You have to have rules for communities this goes back to 2017 Neogaf’s “collapse” and the emergence of “Resetera”.

Reddit is a leftist wokefest POS. I stopped engaging in that shithole 2 years ago.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

LMAO this is NORMAL for Reddit

If you post in certain subs you are auto-banned from places like r/politics

Reddit is a giant death cult and most people don't realize it because if you stay out of the big toxic subs you have an experience completely separate from the absolutely insane people who actually read those giant subs

 

[LordCBH]

Reddit mods and admins are the most fragile dipshits on the planet, so this doesn’t surprise me.

The Resetera community is for people who can’t afford Scientology.

Doesn't seem they can afford games either.

When the reddit API was still free I made some ok side hustle money making auto ban bots and wrongthink detection bots for control freak reddit mods. Sometimes I would get opposing subreddits buying pretty much the same bot from me to ban each other's participants. It was a good feeling of chaotic neutrality.

Man, that user tag is so fitting.
Almost every time you comment something it sounds like you are pulling some randomly generating text that relates to an entirely different thread.

 

[killatopak]

no wonder I was banned on r/smalltitties.

That doesn't make it any less stupid.

You're basically the Lord of War of Reddit LMAO

 

[Puscifer]

FYI: this has been a Reddit thing since it's inception, don't fall for the clickbait. If a sub Reddit you're posting in has idealogical inconsistencies and you're going to just be shitting the place up what's the point?

I used to participate in the old powermod slack and pick up side work creating ways for them to not have to actually do any moderation work. I made a bunch of Python bots that funneled info over to private discord channels where kids the mods found who were willing to work for a different color username would make moderation decisions that were pumped back through the mod's account via the api. It's how some of them were able to get so many mod actions in so many subreddits. I ultimately got tired of how political everything was and deleted my reddit account. It wasn't worth it.

It wasn't all chaos though. Had a couple of subreddits that wanted to democratize moderation so some voting systems were created that let mods vote whether to remove stuff or ban people. I didn't get into the why so much. I just liked making gears turn and seeing things happen. At the end of the day what happens on reddit is pretty meaningless.

It's really bad right now. Like they are batshit crazy in every sub about election bs and saying they will be murdered and all sorts of crap. The deplatforming is common there. I got banned from a few subs for being on kotakuinaction, a sub that formed in 2014 to call out journalists and woke shit in games.

I cancelled my account 2 years ago, I'll browse anonymously but can't comment, but it's the best thing ever for that site.

Reddit is absolute trash. It was always bad, but since COVID-19 hit, it has become totalitarian.

 

[april6e]

It's super annoying when Reddit subreddits do this. For example, you can't join/comment on certain female oriented subreddits if you are subscribed to certain subreddits like r/greentext, the 4chan humor subreddit.

They just assume anyone subscribed there is a womanizer despite the fact that the entire point of the subreddit is to laugh at the daily stupidity on 4chan.

(I KID don't ban me)

Wanted to make a separate thread but might as well post here - same thing happened to me yesterday, which is hilarious:

Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/interestingasfuck because you broke this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
You have been banned for participating in a subreddit whose members have negatively affected this subreddit and/or its members in the past (specifically KotakuInAction).
This action was performed by a bot which does not check the context or content of your comments.

Translation: we don't care what you posted there, might even be in defence of Kotaku - you will still get banned.

Now this is the point where it goes off the rails:

• To be unbanned Delete your posts and comments there and respond to this message.Very important:Use this exact phrase "I have read the ban message, deleted all posts and comments in that subreddit and am now ready to be unbanned." Failure to use that phrase will result in an auto-mute by a bot.

However a line below they have this:

If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.

You can imagine the result:

You have not followed the provided instructions and are therefore muted. This action was performed by a bot. In 28 days you will have another chance to use the correct action and phrase.

Question: with all the tech bros flipping sides - how does this shit happening did not make news?
