Hey guys, this one's a doozy! I thought this story was worthy of being told. I already feel better having written it all out.
But if long-winded diatribes aren't your cup of tea, I won't be offended if you skip this one. ngl though, it's got some juicy bits. I'd love to know how all of this jives with the experiences and observations of many of you out there.
That was extremely well-written and actually inspired me to sign up for this site which I literally just did. I would honestly be tempted to steal this and pass it off as my own to break things down to friends except they know I cannot express my thoughts as clearly concisely and accurately as you have so theres no point. lol
Odd first comment on a new social media site for me as I generally don't kiss anyone's ass in my comments. But moving on from that part.....I am curious as to why this person is making these claims and looking at the log he provided, which I am not familiar with but i does give me some concern. I was banned on /r/conspiracy very early on in my reddit account and never got an explanation other than "trolling" which I honestly didn't even know what that was at the time lol. No further clarification and over the years I have messaged asking for reinstatement or explaination or something and never got a response. Still bugs me not knowing why, coulda just been a mistake. I ask this cause I do not wanted t get invested in this sub and get banned from commenting like in /r/conspiracy.
Anyhow TLDR: Can you provide some rebuttal or something for a person that is not familiar with you other than just reading this? Or maybe others will chime in and point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much and welcome!
There are no permanent bans being given out here. Several "TMOR" (top minds of reddit) regulars cycle through accounts on here, and we often will hand them temp bans when they get unruly.
This thread was linked by TMOR and they sent their minions so we responded accordingly.
I'm sorry this happened. I would hope this occurred before I became a /r/conspiracy mod, or at least I wasn't involved in that decision.
The only people that receive temp bans here are the ones who constantly and aggressively shit on the user base here, that's it.
You can count the # of users currently on temp bans here on one hand.
Hey, Thanks for the reply!
Not sure if it happened before or afer you, but at one point I did get one of the mods to respond and he was unfamiliar with why I was banned and said he would look into it with the other mods and get back to me. He seemed genuine but also seemed busy and that was the last I heard. For some reason I think it may have been you, but I don't know for sure. But wtf knows lol
That is good to hear about the bans. I am certainly not worried if that is the criteria. I am too old for that kinda silliness lol.
So far so good on the site! Thanks again for the response.
Take it easy
I did some digging in my reddit messages:
Hello,
I was banned a month or so ago for "trolling" no further explanation was given. I sent probably 3 messages to the mods and i did not get a response.
I believes it to be a mistake, cause i am not a troll, not very controversial basically a nobody.
Can this be fixed so i can come back? Or at least a response.
Thanks

Hey there! Do you mind tracking down your original ban message and responding to that? Thanks!
It was you that tried to help!! lol
nice. the narrative is that I banned lots of peeps, but actually I unbanned many hundreds if they just asked nicely.
Yeah there seems to be a lot of misinformation out there about you. At least I hope it is lol. But from what I have seen so far and after talking to you my instinct tells me they are full of shit.
