What got you banned?

    I was sitewide banned for criticizing war thunder owner Gaijin on their own subreddit by saying they are biased to make russian vehicles always perform better than other nations at the same battle rating.

    As far as I understood from others it’s because subreddit mods have the power to sitewide ban… For some ridiculous reason. And in this case nobody at Reddit gave a damn or dared confront someone as big as Gaijin for someone as little as me.

    Edit: at least I think that’s why. Reddit bans are ambiguous as fuck. I remember trying to figure out why exactly but the message was similar to “banned because you broke tos” or some bullshit like that, with no link to an actual comment.

      Reddit does seem to give subreddit mods a good deal of credit in their flags of users.

      But a lot of it is dishonest, if you get traction criticizing a powerful group, they will find an unrelated reason to ban you. Because we have no rights to fair enforcement of the rules, they don’t have to bother to make their accusations believable.

      Israel is the main one I’m familiar with that they do this for, but all sorts of other stuff too.
