Reddit Now Bans For Reporting Troons Even If It's Completely Valid

New account of mine.
Clean as a whistle. Reddit kept recommending "WhitePeopleTwitter" and "Transgendercirclejerk".
So of course, I see someone in the tranny circle jerk use the word "Troon" to refer to their fellow mentally ill. Which is a "Slur" and clearly against Reddit Content Policy. So I report it, once.
Banned permanently, appeal denied. LOL.
It's wild because when we were still running SocialJusticeInAction that word would get you banned and the subreddit given their red letter. Even if it was in jest.
Edit: I'll make it clear, the reported content WAS by all counts a clear violation of Reddit Content Policy.
Problem is the alternatives. Due to the death of forums, it's damn near impossible to find niche forums for older items or hobbies.
You can find them but they're even more niche and obscure than ever. Like a few old guys hanging out a bar. The Internet is dead.
Sadly,
I agree 100%.
Yeah, I was gonna say this. You can't say troon, and you can't even call them mentally ill. Fuck, you can't even call them ugly. I've seen 3 day bans for "inciting hate" for saying "this person is ugly". Not "transgenders are ugly", "This one person who happens to be transgender is ugly."
It's like he went to blackpeopletwitter and started mass reporting people for saying "nigga". If you write in your manual report message "if they can say it I should be able to say it too", sure you'll get banned.
This is the same thing, where I'm guessing "Transgendercirclejerk" is a tranny sub because it wouldn't be allowed to exist if it was a criticizing tranny sub, so the admins allow trannies to use the no-no words with each other just like libs give that privilege to blacks.
If you did a manual report and wrote nothing more than "troon is hate speech" you'd probably be okay because either the admin wouldn't notice the context or would assume you were a tranny yourself. But if you write something like "you troons don't enforce the rules against each other, ehhh???" of course you'd get banned right away.
No writing.
Just a simple:
Report > Hate.
AEO even removed it correctly LOL
In that case I can't imagine why you'd get suspended unless the tranny admin who reviewed it also looked at your post history and saw it was right wing or something.
No that's my whole point here lol.
They had absolutely zero reason to ban that account.
The way it works on the back side goes something like this.
Scenario: User reports a comment > Mod Team does not get it > Reddit AEO reviews it > AEO Removes the content > AEO removal is visible in Moderator Log > Trannie Jannies open a ticket about the comment being removed. > Trannie Jannies claim it was someone "Harassing" their community > Admins ban everyone who reported the comment regardless of report reasoning.
I thought when you click "report" it goes to that sub's mods, not the admins (which laughably call themselves Anti-Evil Operations)?
The admins only get it if the sub mods refer it up to them, or if you do a manual report at reddit.com/report
That's very odd if it works the way you described.
Oh so let me explain that.
When you "Report" something in a subreddit. It goes into the Subreddit Moderators queue. If it's a large subreddit, too few mods, or being attacked constantly that queue floods ridiculously fast.
If the mods of a subreddit fail to answer that report for "Hate" or "Harassment" in a timely (And random) manner it reaches Reddit's "Anti Evil Operation" team for review.
Once AEO has reviewed it, if it's in violation of Reddit's Content Policy they will remove the comment and it will be replaced with:
[ Removed By Reddit ]
From there, the mods of the subreddit can view their modlog of actions any Admin or AEO have taken within their subreddit. If the mods think AEO did something wrong they can file a report contesting the removal and additionally seek to punish the reporter.
Normally, this is denied right away. However, being troons Admins turned around and banned a month old account, no politics, no tranny mentions just random game posting.
Additionally, anyone else who reported the comment with me was also banned.
Yeah, dunno if you remember me Dom. Mod of SJIA, TIA, and a few others. Used to post somewhat on Bane's AEO tracker.
We tested this again and again and again in SocialJusticeInAction. Any use of the word "Troon" no matter the context was an instant AEO. At the time, that was true for pretty much every subreddit.
It seems now that they have banned more or less all of the subs big enough to say "No." they are just blatantly issuing double standards.
We also found out overtime that any Reddit account below 5k combined karma is not temporarily warned but will most often be "First offense" permabanned for saying anything negative about trannies. (Including downvoting in rapid succession.)
The fact this account was on a VPN in a sandbox VM blows my mind. Admins personally banning accounts for reporting violations of their own rules. Wild.
Lol they banned Cringetopia ans we were well over 1 million subs with millions of unique impressions a day because we refused to ban wrong think about trannies
Yep. When we saw Cringetopia go down we knew the rest of us were next. Sure as can be, every medium-large sub that wouldn't bow to the faggots got Thanos snapped in the same week.
If the troons were willing to take down a front page subreddit, nothing else was safe.
They're doing what they always do, trying to "reclaim" or twist words. I've seen it happen with Woke, Based, Vaccines, and many other words they didn't like.
Sort of, in this context though they very much said it in the same manner we use it.
What you are describing is called "Weasel Wording" or "Double Speak". The progressive left use this in a far more sinister manner than just that.
You should do an experiment; create two accounts, have one post a similar message to the one you reported, have the other account report that, and see what happened.
Done this many of times. Specifically with WhitePeopleTwitter and HermainCainAward.
This is absolutely "Rules for thee and not for me!".
HOWEVER, threats of violence do get almost anyone/everyone banned albeit the Leftie accounts tend to be unsuspended while others do not.
question is: what did you write in your manual report to the admins?
I don't think you can/will get banned for simply doing a "hey mods" within the sub itself, you only run into issues if you go to reddit.com/report and type something in the box that the trannies don't like.
I didn't manually report anything.
Just reported a comment using the standard report buttons.
Moderators of a subreddit can take an item that has been removed from their subreddit and appeal it to the admins of Reddit and have the reporters banned. Which is what happened here, but this is a clear abuse of the system and not what it is designed to do.
It was designed to stop mass brigading and bot reporting not to punish wrong-think.
so you did the "report" only to the sub's mods, not even to the admins? that's weird, it must be a special setup that particular sub has with the admins to ban for correct reports from "outsiders" but then again, how would the mods of that sub know you were an outsider when sub mods can't see who the reporter is?
Check my reply to your other comment, I sorta try to break it down from the mod side there.
The admins frequently check certain subs especially those where trannies are mentioned negatively or positively. Obviously for different reasons
I got report warned in a college town subreddit (which has daily reports about how open and welcoming their college town is to LGBTQIABCXYZ peeples) where somebody posted how his college town is not a welcoming place and hates those kind of people to a LGBTQIABCXYZ person asking it the college town was “safe” for LGBTQIABCXYZ peeples.
Reported the post for misinformation and was promptly reported by the troon mod for abuse because that was obviously a “factual” statement (except for all the times it isn’t - obviously they need to keep manufacturing victim status.)
Confusingly written comment, but yeah, I got similar…
Someone was slagging off long-term residents of my hometown in the town’s own subreddit. I pointed out that this wasn’t so constructive. Boom, personal insults, post-history scraping and then a ban…
Ah, Reddit…
Yeah - the post I reported was from a mod of that subreddit (though not in mod mode at the time)
STOP USING REDDIT.
reddit still has good boards for technical stuff and video games. It's actually not even that bad to use, you just get randomly juped by admins sometimes. The normal day to day interactions I have on reddit are fine
Saying reddit has good boards is like saying twitter has good accounts to follow.
You're not wrong, but you know the places are polluted, toxic, and will not stop until you're gone.
Might as well just cut the middleman and leave on your own accord.
reddit admins be just making shit up now
