Mine was: I kept reporting people for being transphobic dicks, some of whom were straight up doing the "Let's report this profile for suicidal posts and cite them being trans as proof. The automated system will do the rest", non-joke, and eventually I had to start reporting people for other things...

Instead of ya know, actually looking into the things I was reporting, Reddit took one look at the mass of reports I made and decided I HAD to be making the whole thing up and just banned me for "False Reports" and "Report Abuse" because that's just easier than doing their fucking jobs.

They also claimed it wouldn't be reversed because it was a "Clear violated of the TOS", and linked me a TOS which had nothing on "False Reports/Report Abuse"

Ironically, this was my second Site-Wide Ban.

My first? I was banned for promoting violence and sending death threats to people. The ban was reversed when I appealed it and pointed out that the post in question had no threats, and was just a heavily downvoted post in which I claimed to be glad Cara Dune's actress being fired was a good thing... Bastards didn't even check to see if an actual death threat was made.

I've never seen a service more excited to exclude people from using it than Reddit.

I think this is what happened to me. But rather than request an audience with the king, I want to be the king now. I want to have my own server.
