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.
