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?
