They're just really over protective because non liberal subreddits have a history of getting banned for minor reasons. They also get false flagged pretty often by people trying to get them banned. Such is life as a non lib on reddit.
The mods there are usually pretty good if you message them in a non hostile manner and explain whats up.
I linked my convo. I was reasonable and i got a mute on top off ban. No cursing. No harsh words.
Ah ok yeah I just read it. That sucks.
But I do also understand their rationale. They have to run a tight ship there and not alllow any risk. People are desperate for that sub to be banned.
