No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
You ain't wrong, although it's just hard to fight against the momentum. But I've found it better to try and answer what's wrong rather than just RTFM^[which btw is much older than /. lol, but you're still old school for attributing it there, not disparaging you] as it seems to help a little. Sometimes. But not always. It's human nature. heh
It's not like it's always wrong per se....... like in this case one of the witnesses to an ICE shooting was killing in a crash and lots of the comments are about how it wasn't an accident. But the article mentioned three other people in the car including the guy's sister - and it was reported they took a highway exit too fast. Based on the time........ I'd read "drunk" between the lines, though that wasn't mentioned - but importantly: If it was suspicious, why didn't any of the three survivors mention anything out of the ordinary?
But I agree that it would be suspicious....... if we didn't already have people who would be inclined to speak up not saying anything was out of the ordinary.
So I get the comments - except they should have RTFM.
But that's just one example from today. It happens a lot, but most of the time people here seem to post decently thoughtful posts. And we have very few fascists. Sooooo, that's nice. heh
