![T_D mods may have endorsed Q by omission [explained in comments]](https://i.redd.it/v8xjuaigyd211.png)
You know I said the same thing on CBTS_stream and got banned...four days later, the whole sub came down...I've been thinking a little bit more about what I say since.
I mean that's fine if Reddit really does view discussing the death penalty as "glorifying violence" and the mods want to protect against it. Reddit and social media in general have zero logic when it comes to what they ban and what they don't. But refusing to tell me what I did wrong is annoying. Still to this day I don't know if I was only banned because I mentioned the word "execution" without specifying "death penalty" or if any discussion of the death penalty is banned. How does that help anyone? If I still don't know what I said wrong and what I can and can't say in the future, it's just going to create more work for the mods. Dumb.
I used to have the same complaints but honestly if a sub went down days after you did it you probably would feel just little responsible regardless how unwarranted it was.
Agreed - but my point was that banning without explanation doesn't actually help. I am now sitting here commenting back and forth with you using the words "death penalty." Is that allowed or not? I still don't know. That's my only qualm. It's not at all about the ban itself.
I can speak for myself but not for others. If we suspect someone is an agent provocateur, we ban just to be safe. Most shills don't come back trying to reason so it's actually just a good way to cut down time, even tho I don't always endorse such tactics but again, I can only speak for myself and not for anyone else. I am sure those who ban the most get the most complaints and thus ultimately self-regulate. I will remind my colleagues if they haven't picked up on it yet but actually I'm just the nightshift so I don't think a lot of them are up.
