MODERATORS
 

So long story.

I've been with reddit for close to 15 years, I've saw some dumb shit from server moderators, some dumb shit by automoderators and some really dumb shit from the Reddit Admin team. It all started a month ago with a mod queue, i'd been placed on a mod queue on one subreddit and I messaged their mods about it, they didn't bother replying. I visited ask the mods, asking if it was normal for the mods of a popular sub to act like that. Around the same time I'd joined Microsofts sub to ask questions about MSN news' comment moderation as I noticed a lot of disgusting comments (which i will not repeat here) were being allowed through, and yet my comment about a dangerously thin model being 'dangerously thin and will end up with health concerns' was removed. A day later, i got a ban from that community, got a mod mail about it too, they claimed I was being disruptive and I replied "Bullshit, you're banning me for critisism of microsoft, you think removing critisism magically makes your problems go away? Fucking assholes like you are ruining the internet."

My post on ask the mods though was still active, I updated it about the microsoft mods abusing their power and my post is now attracting assholes left, right and centre. I got a week ban from Reddit because the microsoft mods reported my reply. A day later, during the ban i get a new message from ask the mods, they've banned me there too. I sigh and shake my head. Any time theirs drama, mods side with the majority causing trouble and remove the minority.

But then I lay low, I don't want any more bans, and this is where the ridiculous part starts.

A fox had been stuck in a charity shop for a week and the owner was refusing to open the shop to allow the RSPCA access to release the fox, their was a lot of conflicting reports on why he was refusing, the big reason seeming to be, 'He was off work and couldn't be arsed'

I said as folk were getting heated "I'd kick the window down if I was there, fuck what the owner says. I wouldn't let a poor animal stave to death."

Uh, 8 minutes later. My reddit account was perm banned for 'promoting violence', turns out windows have feelings. Or further proof reddit needs to get rid of their damn AI moderation and let people do the frigging job. I made a new account and I contacted a few admin via a mail to see if they could help me. New account banned an hour later. I tried again, same results.

Absolutly braindead. I won't lie and say i've never been in trouble on reddit, but FFS at least punish me for something legit, not some brainless AI horseshit.

I suggest to not make the mistake of blaming it on AI. Humans (on average) aren't any smarter. Social media platforms (like Reddit) had a long history of ridiculous bans way before automods were a thing. It can happen at any time and it will happen at some point.
