I'm posting my Reddit post here if people want to actually see what I actually did.


Dear fellow users:

We regret to inform you that u/AntonioOfVennice has been permanently suspended while engaged in moderating actions on the 5th of August 2021 due to what we believe may have been enemy action. Unfortunately, he was suspended for explaining the justification of a comment removal to a user.

To be clear: it was this explanation of Reddit rule enforcement which is a bannable offense. I can't tell you which rule he was explaining, because that would require me to do the same thing that got him banned: explain the rule.

[DoM's note: He told a user that Reddit removes comments that assert that transgenders have mental illness. Which they do. See the comments section for the actual image]

WHEREFORE: The rule I'm not allowed to explain to you has been made officially made into: THE SECRET RULE. You are not allowed to discuss this SECRET RULE, otherwise your comment will be removed. You are also not allowed to violate THE SECRET RULE, and I'm not allowed to tell you what it is. All references to THE SECRET RULE have been redacted as SECRET.

Now... I can't in good conscience punish you for violating THE SECRET RULE since I'm not allowed to tell you what THE SECRET RULE actually is. You have to... discover it by violating it, I guess?

In case you were wondering if Reddit is a fucking Kafkaesque nightmare site,

the answer is yes.

Will AoV appeal? Yes. Will that appeal be granted? Unknown.

Anyways, here is a listing of the latest proscriptions from Reddit if you weren't aware of what they already were:

Here are the current Proscriptions:

  • Orange Man Punctuation Anti-Loss site is automatically removed from all links, posts, and comments.
  • The Gateway Pundit is a Tier 5 (Black List) site on Reddit
  • Zero Hedge is a Tier 5 (Black List) site on Reddit
  • Project Veritas USPS Whistleblower video is banned off of Reddit
  • The Conservative Treehouse are automatically removed as a Tier 3 (Grey List) site
  • Do not post lists of allegedly deceased individuals who allegedly voted
  • Do not assert that voter fraud or voter irregularities have occurred.
  • THIS IS THE SECRET RULE
  • The National Pulse is now a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Rumble is now a Tier 3 Grey List site
  • Trending Politics is now a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Bitchute has been upgraded from a Tier 4 to a Tier 5 Blacklisted site
  • Project Veritas is a Tier 3 Grey List site
  • "De Donalt dut ween" is both a Tier 5 Blacklisted site, and you can't spell out it's name normally.
  • "Pay tree ots dut ween" is also a Tier 5 Blacklisted site, and you can't spell out it's name normally.
  • If an individual asserts that they are a gender, then you are not authorized to identify them as any other gender than what they asserted; nor that they have not attained that gender.
  • You can't call transpeople ugly.
  • [New] Stardia Post is a Tier 5 site
  • [New] A Voice For Men is a Tier 3 site
  • [New] 90min.com is a Tier 3 site
  • [New] THE SECRET RULE is apparently secret

Please do not violate these rules by testing them, I have tested them myself to confirm them. If you want me to test others, let me know.

Thanks to u/BandageBandolier 's suggestion on our Win site, feel free to use BBC Pidgen version of the Orange Man site: "De Donalt dut ween". That means you can't use the English translation of DeDonalt.ween nor De Donalt dut ween.

Also, I am going to re-implement our old Border Security proceedure. New users and users who have little posting history on the sub will be permanently suspended if they violate a sitewide.
