Head mod Ham Sandwich is banning anyone who criticizes how he applies the "no racism" rule.
About a week ago, Ham stickied a thread reminding users about the no racism rule. Everyone was like yeah no shit just do your job and remove any racist comments and leave the rest of us alone. The thread was a shit show as you'd expect and Hammy got his feelings hurt.
I received a permanent ban yesterday without any explanation. I called him a shit head (not directly, just in response to someone else saying he doesn't think Ham has bad intentions) because he took a few random racist comments and posted a screen shot of them next to a PPC logo on Twitter. He added the PPC logo himself to smear the growing political party. The racist comments were all one liners and half of them were probably posted by Ham on alt accounts. None of them had anything to do with the PPC or PPC supporters.
Purposefully smearing millions of people like that makes you a shit head and I said as much.
But since this is tangibly related to the "no racism" rule discussion, he went straight to a perma-ban.
I'm not even Canadian, but I migrated to Omega after the meta Canada subreddit closed by the same head mod who started OmegaCanada.
Here's a newly stickied thread, which he locked immediately after posting so nobody could respond, where he announces that he will ban you permanently if you criticize how he's going about all of this.

Anyone else receive a perma-ban over this issue?
Ham has been extra butthurt lately because he sees that his beloved CPC party is no different from PM Blackface's Liberal party, but he can't admit it out loud. He's mad that PPC support is growing and he's lashing out on various ways.
I'm not a member of that community, but you or anyone else there should probably start gathering evidence in case the matter needs to be brought to an admin. I didn't think such a thing would happen quite this soon, but if it's really going down like you say, it's about time for the admins to be tested.
If the admins do become involved, I'd expect some kind of satisfactory outcome because they do not want to get the kinds of PR stains that reddit has.
I think the site and his own posting history are all the evidence needed at this point.
