I posted this yesterday:
And apparently this warrants a instant permaban.
They don't even tell you what rule it breaks. Which one do you think it might break?
In any case, every time I visit Reddit and look at my local subs (Montréal, Québec or Canada) I look at the comments and they're absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it's unbearable. And I also realized how my mental health actually improved since I left that community.
They can keep the permaban. I don't give a shit anymore. I'm so over that god forsaken place.
Peace out.
Quick update:
I contancted the mods and apparently I was permabanned for spamming and they immediately muted me so I wouldn't be able to message the mods any further. I can understand that it can be considered spamming, but I feel they're being extremely harsh over this. They really have no chill.
You broke the site wide rules by advertising a competing service, not the subreddit's rules. It's surprising the ban didn't extend site wide.
Seriously? So if you talk about joining Facebook or Twitter or any other social network you get permabanned site wide?
You could be. I'm not saying it's justified, but it is a rule on the site as a whole that users are not permitted to advertise other platforms. It's their way of fucking their users just a little more, because they can try and justify anything they want because it's in the TOS you agree to when signing up.
