Update: March 22, 2022
Stating or implying that a 'transgender woman is a biological male' will result in a perm ban from r/conspiracy as it appears the mod team considers this a TOS violation.
Human biology and science is to be classified as 'hate speech'.
It also appears you will be banned for submissions or discussion of
- CIS women that feel disenfranchised by transgender women receiving women's awards or competing in women's sports
The mods will not clarify whether discussing LGBTQ topics results in a ban, but by the evasive nature and continuous gaslighting it seems someone on the mod team does not want civil debate or any discussion on controversial topics.
Instead the mod prefers to run a honeypot permanently banning users that make submissions or discuss topics on a mod's private blacklist.
No matter of compromise would appease the lead mod who appeared to be putting on theater display.
Asking for clarification on blacklisted topics to prevent future misunderstanding and bans for wrongthink received additional evasive responses and gaslighting.
Suggesting mods should be open and honest with users about banned topics makes you a TMOR shill that wants the sub banned.
I did manage to get one honest reply.

Seems like there are a lot of old mods here and I remember u/axolotl_peyotl being pushed out under strange circumstance.
Summary:
Perm banned from r/conspiracy about 4 days ago
I asked why I was perm banned and what specifically in my submission and submission statement was a TOS violation for 'hate speech'.
I was never contacted or sanctioned by Admin.
This was 100% mod action..
To be honest I never anticipated the mod team Orwellian newspeak, mental gymnastics, dodging, projection, and gaslighting. I never once got a clear honest answer to what specifically in my submission or submission statement was a TOS violation.
Presumably if you engage in civil debate on r/conspiracy you will be perm banned if you raise the question of CIS women potentially being disenfranchised by biological men identifying as transgender women in awards and competitions .
The old public modlog is also offline, for how long who knows, but it seems like the mods over there currently in charge have two sets of rules (public, private) and do not like transparency.
A small passage from the pm
I repeatedly stated I was willing to compromise and post within the confines of a sandbox. I just asked what are blacklisted topics or how my submission was in violation something you refuse to respond to. You say use nuance, but then don't define what that means. You can't say follow the rules, when rules are unstated, unspecified, or ambiguous especially with respect to hidden blacklists.

Submission statement:
USA (Today) announced their women of the year.
Included in the list was Biden's Ast. Sec HHS Rachel Levine. As more and more awards for women continue to be handed to biological men, you have to wonder at what point women begin to feel disenfranchised by a rigged system.

Hi.
r/conspiracy was one of the last large subreddits with open discussion that wasn't completely locked down.
Most of the mods here seem to be old r/conspiracy mods. u/axolotl_peyotl, u/doggos, and u/PutinLovesCats look familiar
Maybe r/conspiracy is just a honeypot or area to collect data now. You rarely see current mods sticky posts or engaging in discussion.
Axo was the heart of the r/conspiracy mod team for years. Most stickies, AMAs, Featured Documentaries and round tables were organized by Axo. So here is the place to be, even it it seems a little quiet to someone coming straight from r/conspiracy.
Reading your screen shot really reminded me what a chore Reddit had become. I can't imagine spending so much time and effort trying to skirt round reddit's insane and unreasonable TOS in the hopes they don't ban the subreddit on a whim based on one move in error. fuck that. It's a pretty repulsive mentality TBH - tres Orwelleian.
We have only the meager rules asked by our host to abide by - see the content policy in the side bar. And mods will get rid of shit-posters, spammers and obsessives freaks who frequent this site because they hate it and everyone here, and contribute nothing of value or interest - there's a few of those.
The only saving grace is they only really enforce that bs hard on subs they don't like that are larger. If you have a smaller sub that is not on the hit list for your topic and perform decent modding, you don't hear from them, probably mostly because they do not have resources to micromanage a million subs.
like retconned :)
God! Retconned is such a joke! They claim to 'ban' politics but a lot of things related to it cannot even be reasonably discussed so it resorts to 'I feel that' kind of threads. They DO NOT want genuine discussion unless it agrees to them.
content policy?
not seeing the sub rules

thanks
/r/conspiracy has always been controlled opposition, imo. It was created by the admins to quarantine 9/11 "conspiracy theories" from the rest of Reddit. While it did have it's time(s) of glory, the admins always kept a close watch/leash (ie. IlluminatedWax, SarahConnor, and a few others - some of which are still in the mod ranks - whom are just alts). I've long said that the sub died with Flytape "rage quitting" and furthermore the infiltartion of the C_S_T team. Flytape was right. There was no more hope for the site/sub. The site/sub chose it's bed to lay in. Axo has always disagreed with me on said things. But hey, I've been saying it all along and look at us now. Aye, Axo ;)
For the record, just so people know because you mentioned it, I was never a mod on /con, but was always highly voted to being one most election cycles. Came close but was always shot down by certain "sleeper mods" who just coincidentally arose from stasis just in time to say "nay". Further, my final ban which led to a perma suspension there was from a 3+ year old comment that stayed visible and broke no rules until years later when it was determined to be "hate speech". That was done by the admins. The mods there, served countless of unwarranted temp bans. Always the same ones: SovereignMan, Creq, UN_13 (who is top mod now).
glad to see you fren, legitimately! hope you're crushing it. you were right about pretty much everything, but I regret nothing. I'm really grateful I got out when I did, fighting a losing battle over there was an unnecessary burden. been spending my energy/efforts elsewhere and feels good. cheers!
You too, mate. Hope all has been well with you and yours.
Everything happens for a reason. I believe you legitimately tried the best you could but just didn't realize how bad things actually were. IDK, maybe you were more hopeful than I was? Anyways, it's neither here nor there now. Times, they are a changing.
100%. When I got my perma suspension, I was pissed and going to try to appeal it to the admins. Then I thought, why? Why bother? That comment was 3+ years old and TMOR had a red rocket out for me. I know I have other comments which are similar. The forces that want me gone are not going to stop at this false report. It'll be another comment. Then another and another and another. Plus, why do I even want to participate on a platform which has devolved into this hellhole? So, I deleted the appeal text and made my peace. Everything happens for a reason and I do not believe my time there was spent in vain.
Glad to hear, and so have I. I've been limiting my time on the internet. IRL is really the place to be.
Na zdrowia!
I got perma suspended for the most mild permaban in internet history. I called someone a fascist for calling someone else a fascist.
I said, "if you call everything fascist it might mean you are the fascist."
Big tech has colluded to start banning opposition by using the the word "harassment." Since "misinformation" wasn't very effective since they kept being wrong. So it made them look bad.
If you argue with anyone and remotely call them a name all the bots will basically report you for bullying.
I didn't bother appealing since the admin give me creepy vibes and I don't want to interact with them.
Thanks for the hope. I have been banned the moment I call out on mainstream BS on any forum practically left leaning OR right leaning. Both are shitholes.
It all falls under the ominous and ambiguous 'hate speech' label.
What is 'hate speech'? We don't know but you have committed it!
The label is widely abused to censor, silence, and cancel anyone that has a contrary opinion no matter the topic and is most frequently used by authoritarians and the left on their political opponents.
I don't like you discussing this! I ban you for hate speech! But I don't hate you I simply disagree with you? I ban you for hate speech!
SPLC has been running this con game for decades on the corporate world and has been getting paid for it. Nobody pushed back on the con that includes safe spaces, so it eventually spread everywhere, through universities, schools, media, and the HR ladies in the business world.
Now you have SJW that are never satisfied getting triggered at every end of the spectrum demanding you 'change your behavior' and 'monitor your language' or else you are canceled.
You know it's gone to far when these people demand positions created for equity, inclusivity, and sensitivity oversight to rewrite decades of technical terminology in coding and programming languages because someone might emotionally react.
You are triggered by the term manpage? you want it rewritten to non-gender humanpage? but manpage is short form for manual page. You still want it changed, ok?
lol, you've completely had the wind taken out of your sails having been relegated to "moderating" this racist shit hole. So funny to see your life's work completely destroyed in a single keystroke, shill.
lol
There was another mod that was pushed out before u/axolotl_peyotl
This was between 2016-2020 around the time that Reddit Admin were trying to purge the_donald.
I think it was u/JamesColesPardon ?
He was openly being attacked and targeted by TMOR and other shills even in r/conspiracy.
When that mod got purged I remember saying to myself it's only a matter of time before they come for u/axolotl_peyotl and other independent non-conforming mods who don't tow the line.
What's interesting is once axolotl_peyotl and JamesColesPardon were gone the individual targeting of mods in comments in r/conspiracy seemed to die down and disappear.
I don't think that's a coincidence at all and might signify at that point the sub 100% became controlled by alt accounts of Admin, SPLC, and TMOR. The public modlog is now offline, make of that what you will.
There were a few other points in the history of the sub where there was a shakeup of mods, it's all rather fuzzy at this point with how much time has passed.
James was a part of the C_S_T crew I was talking about. Don't be fooled by the smoke and mirrors James played at. I always thought he was shifty as did a few of us others and made that known. There was TMOR drama with him (and others - I suspect were his alts) because, imo, he was in cahoots with TMOR, as were others. They were infiltrating the mod ranks at lower levels to not give way to the illusion that the top ranks were already admin alts. That is why they went after Axo so hard. They wanted UN_13 at top.
Nothing is what is seems on Reddit. I was actually an outsider who was invited on the /inside by Flytape. However, this was the sole reason, imo, why I was never made a mod there. They gaslit people on the sub via alts/TMOR about me being a mod alt but they knew I wasn't thus why they weren't going to let me in on their mod accounts.
If only people knew.
The funny thing is I used to be so angry at God for not fixing the web but in the grand scheme of shit flying across the globe this is all small flies nobody would even see.
That has been the situation from when they removed axolotl from the mods. It is clearly a honeypot. Nowadays, you can work on your post for hours to get mostly 2 upvotes. Many thinkers and researchers have moved here and in other places, so just forget about Reddit. Chances are that the same people posting there also post in non-propaganda machines like here or other subs, so it will be difficult to miss important information. For example Conspiracy Commons is way better than Conspiracy right now... They have around 100 people online, so that should give you the bigger picture.
Even if if it's a honey pot. It's a honey I'd gladly dig into without fear.
