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:

- "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.

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.
Oooh, that's why suddenly nearly everyone started entertaining the mental illness of John Flynt / Wu on KiA like a switch was flipped.
I wonder if the Chris Chan drama will get the KiA2 reddit forum banned because nobody could take his prefered pronouns seriously there.
Oh yeah, it's required by law for us to pretend that the people who live as the wrong sex are right.
They're ducking it so hard. I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned for enforcing the "misgendering" policy on Chris Chan.
I'm not sure it's anything other than a lose-lose situation for them however it resolves.
If CC ends up in women's prison then that's going to cause all sorts of problems that come back and bite them in the ass at the cost of maintaining pronouns.
However if they go to men's prison; that's pronouns out the window so any/all action made against users that previously "misgendered" and continue to do so, EVEN WHEN IT WILL BE DIRECT COPY AND PASTES FROM THE NEWS STORIES ADDRESSING IT, will also cause problems for them.
That said, Reddit can take the world's longest walk off the shortest pier so regardless of what the outcome is buy popcorn now! 🍿🍿🍿
All agreed.
I wasn't even bothering to follow, let alone enforce, those policies when it came to Chris-Chan. I figured they would not be stupid enough to get themselves negative publicity by applying it to him.
I feel like I have to apply the standards consistently. I think it really speaks to the madness of the standards themselves.
You don't reform these standards, you abolish them.
It's like enforcing a mask-mandate on Congress & Investment Bankers.
They don't care because 100% of the people who would call themselves Redditors at this point either openly support Chris-Chan style sex criminals or are so cowardly and beaten down they'll allow themselves to be bullied into not calling him a mentally ill incestuous rapist, or even "him" to begin with.
