I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.
However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.
Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.
Apparently there’s very few actual mods, so they’ve all become jaded fuckasses who just automatically assume you’re the most low down scum imaginable if you break the rules and appealing the ban is just you trying to get a platform to sea lion at them.
Yeah, I really hate “career mods” who run hundreds of subreddits. Theres people who do it because they love their community and want to see it thrive, and then theres career mods who do it because they lust over having power.
I don’t feel sorry for them at this point.
I would be bitter too if I did free work for a guy making 190 mill a year. Reddit mods are the saddest of usefull idiots
sea lion 😂 what a great description!
Can someone explain this reference?
Look up “2014 sea lion comic”
See this comic strip for reference:
On the internet it has become common to refer to the sort of behaviour that the sea lion from the comic is showing as “sealioning”.
