To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously š.
Whatās the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose thatās the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.
Edit: Iām not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.
Iāve been shadow-banned from a few subreddits when I was still on the site.
Not. One. Warning.
on r/images or r/gifs or something, I 'and my axāed on some random thread. Banned. Thread context? All deleted. No warning, no explanation, and when I asked for feedback I got something like āthe ban holdsā or something.
Honestly, Iām a dick a lot of the time, but I simply canāt reconcile a ban for āand my axā. Ban me for the actual stuff I do, sure. A warning would be excellent. But that one bugs me the most as I canāt learn from it.
