I waited so long to come forward and tell my story because I didn't think anyone would believe me. But now I want people to know what happened to me, because if knowing what happened to me could prevent it happening to them, then I want them to know.

If a banned user asks for where a rule is written and you ignore it multiple times you’re probably either a troll or an asshole. Also the sidebar of that community has no rules…

Right? This mod just banned me and I asked for rules and he told me he would unban "when I learned" ... learn what? There's no rules.

Is it really that hard to provide this poster with a reference to the policy against abbreviations you state exists? Also, what kind of policy is that? You do understand you would have to ban anyone using "you'd, can't, I'm, etc." since these are all abbreviations?

Please explain yourself as this seems to be a very concerning way to moderate an instance as big as yours

I know this is an issue you've been going through for a long time, and I understand how difficult it is to finally come forward.

I hope you can find peace and strength to carry on. Unfortunately you've violated the handwriting policy and will be banned for 14 days.

Thank you for your bravery. I am so sorry this happened to you, though I was really hoping to at least learn what the abbreviation means.

I too was banned from /r/news, but it was completely my own fault for not reading the 'reliable sources policy'.

And yet, still no abbreviation's policy to be found....

I read "sh" as an abbreviation for 'shit head'. Not sure if thay was intended but grammatically it fits perfectly.
"shh" doesn't fit.

Anyway, this user is clearly being a sh and deserves the ban simply for their reaction. Never in my life have i attempted to seek information in such a hostile way even after being banned. lol

The user in question was a bit aggressive, but you did not clarify at all and ignored their question about the abbreviations policy.

Apparently, you should ban yourself too

I've managed dig up a copy abbreviation policy (please let me know if there's a newer version of this)

5.03 Abbreviations

  • The following words cannot be used in abbreviations, and their use in such a manner is a ban-able offence: "New", "York", "Times". In accordance with the Board's principles, these words are sacrosanct and to shorten them is heresy.
  • Taximeter cabriolet can be shortened to taxi

If there's a policy then link them to the policy when they ask.
