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.

These constant "Reddit is crap" posts on here come across a bit like hanging out in a gay bar and then complaining that everybody is gay.
Reddit is partially owned by the Chinese government and has been so for many years. Anybody who is still frequenting Reddit is lying to themselves about not being an idiot. If you want to become Globohomo you can just sign up for Netflix and drink Coca-Cola while eating McDonald's all day. You don't have to visit Reddit.
And before you reply, don't reply with any excuses about how "you just have to check there to make sure nothing big dropped" or some other nonsense. There is no excuse. Do you have sites like this, 4 Chan, and many other sites, which are not Globohomo vaccine propaganda, to get info from.
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 :)
