They banned my old reddit account because I reported fake news that was being posted on r/conservative. Apparently subreddit mods can report users who use the report tool and can just get you banned.
Which is stupid. A mod can just ban you forever and call it a day. Where the Admins have fucked up is if you harass a mod via modmail, they can only mute you for I think 28 days max, before you can start harassing them again. So, instead of letting a mod simply mute you forever, they created the report bullshit.
They recently, meaning I don’t exactly know when it happened, gave mods the ability to report you for “Abuse of the report tool”. For the record, I’m a mod on some subreddits, and that’s an absurd thing to need. I’ve learned a few things about being a Reddit mod.
It’s not nearly as hard as some mods make you think it is.
If they actually experience difficulty, it’s probably cause they suck at being a mod.
Subs that experience issues, are typically cess pools like r/conservative.

And then they say “if a user is breaking the rules, don’t engage, use the report button.”

I got permanently banned for pointing out that a popular sex advice subreddit was being run by a rapist…

I got a warning for a similar thing. They can disagree with the report, but warning/banning users for it is insane
