If everyone against CTR/corrupt mods reported one or two anti-trump pieces at random from all over the sub as 'uncivil' or 'Personal attack' we could at least snow them under with false noise and make them work harder for their corruption. Hell, I'm not even a Trump fan but what is happening there is totally unacceptable.
Was it How much are you paid to type that? or I thought trump should've hammered Hillary more on the DNC corruption and the email scandals, hate him or love him trump is up there because he's the nominee, Hillary is up there because the nomination was rigged.?
Why not both? Well said though.
I'm perma banned from politics because I posted plain text that read:
"/r/ new accounts in politics
/r/ The Record Corrected (remove the spaces)"
Quinlan or whatever is the mod's name banned me for "witch hunting". At first he just banned me and a few hours later flat out removed my post. Some other poster asked why my post was removed and he said I was witch hunting users. I posted a screenshot of the original post and wrote "you're a god damned liar" with an alt. Permabanned and muted to politics and banned for a month on reddit lol.
It's great to expose it but it's also a losing battle. Reddit has no interest in your freedom of speech and it's not going back on that.
edit: wow, You can free your life of reddit with one click of a button. If only people had the same energy and attitude towards the bigger problem that is the corrupt government.
They tell everyone to appeal after "3 months" because it happens to be after the election, when all of the CTR will have packed up and gone home. This needs to be talked about more.
I copied and pasted the automoderator please be civil comment that is on every politics post under its comment in reply to commenters that told the automoderator to F off! and you suck!. Im tired of seeing it so I just started doing that. Got banned for being a "bot" and I replied to the moderator like, I'm not a bot man!
it's just a sub though right? When it turns into a circlejerk, people will have already moved on to somewhere else. I unsubbed today because I was tired of the one sided posting... not because I'm pro trump, or anti-hillary (actually really happy I don't have to make that decision), but the constant bashing... ugh..
Then I realised that I didn't really need r/politics... it's not like I will miss it much.
Yeah but it's a default sub with over 3 million subscribers. It's pretty devastating how much of a voice these bans actually silence. Same with the anti-Hillary bans and eventual shutdown in /r/SandersForPresident.
It's not a huge sub but I would recommend /r/WayOfTheBern if you are a Sanders refugee. I tried Kossacks but they also silenced dissent en masse after Bernie endorses Hillary.
right now it's a pain to get all the latest real time update in other subs. They're either small, inactive or bias. I'm just looking for an alternative that's fairly active.
I got a 7 day ban yesterday for questioning why ctr would think its smart to push an agenda. Reason was for claiming someone was a shill. I never did I was literally questioning ctr as an organization not referring to the person I responded to actions.
Redditinsights.com was created due to Reddit Admins not mods having a manipulation algorithm in-place during the debate to null-ify all votes from outsiders on this very sub. Thousands of Trump supporters have probably been doing a similar thing for awhile now but does nothing.
I'm not here to defend the_Donald or explain why they make the decisions they do.
I have just seen too many posts on /r/politics where people complain for getting banned from the_Donald, and then accuse them of hypocrisy for claiming to be a bastion of free speech.
They want free speech, just not on the_Donald. Again, not defending them or trying to make sense of why you were banned. Your post seems harmless enough to me.
I want to make two accounts and see which one gets banned faster. The first one will post increasingly obscene comments about Trump, ie "I hope he gets gangraped then drawn and quartered" and the other account will post extremely mild comments about Hillary ie "I hope she doesn't win".
It was only a matter of time, I'm sure we all knew it was coming as soon as the CTR bullshit began. It doesn't even look like a subreddit anymore, it's just bots that echo the same tune over and over. Just compare it to r/POLITIC, the internet has never been a place of strict rules because it's not a job for us, it's the internet.
This is old news and is why I hardly ever go there now. It's nothing but petty hit pieces on Trump, with no mention of any juicy leaks or shocking establishment corruption that has been exposed in recent months. Useless.
Yep. I was banned from /r/Politics about a month ago. Mods said I was a novelty account. Then they went and changed the reason to spam. After I called them out on their lying, they muted me and had the Admins suspend me for three days. They said I could appeal my /r/Politics ban in 3 months, which happens to be just after the election.
In my opinion they are just killing the sub. I've unsubscribed and no longer engage with it at all. If everyone who wasn't a CTR bot did the same the sub would just die away
Also /r/news. I was perma-banned from there. Two different mods could not give me a straight answer why. It was based on a statement that I made, observing the lack of news about Hillary Clinton's passing out on 9/11. Total censorship of the subject. Instant perma-ban, no warning, no appeal.
You find out who runs the place when you find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
I've been banned from 3 subs in the last year. All of which were because I stated an opinion that a Mod disagrees with. I was banned from WTF for sending a Mod a private message telling them they shouldn't lock comments just because it goes against their beliefs.
The two easiest subs to get banned from are r/LateStageCapitalism and r/politics
The former is essentially a Marxist SJW safe-space subreddit that bans for "micro-aggressions", while the latter has taken on the role of such for the election cycle thanks to CTR. I'd be happy to sign a petition, but either way I'll never use r/politics again.
"If any of you liberal fucks are going to complain about nazis 'right to free speech' in the comments, expect a one-way ticket to Siberia."
-Mod on r/LateStageCapitalism
I was banned and I still do not know why. I am a huge Bernie supporter and you only have to look at my profile for a quick second to realize this. Is that why they banned me?
It's sad it started on other platforms i.e. Twitter, Facebook, and now its hitting Reddit. This isn't r/liberal or r/conservative. This is r/politics to allow differences. This should be a free area for people to provide different ideas. Just goes to show free speech is only allowed if you like Clinton. But for fucks sake banning people isn't making this sub better, it's limiting its potential.
If you think that's bad wait until you deal with the asshole moderators at MandelaEffect. They ban anyone who shares legitimate Mandela effects but let trolls and shills run freely around down voting everyone.
Absolutely, I am one of those who apparently comes from the original reality. Berenstein, fruit loops, Luke I am your father, if you build it they will come. All crystal clear memories. And JFK only having 3 people in the car, not four or six.
Start a new sub and promote it if you think it's worth it. ME is a niche enough concept that people interested will join up if what you say is true. (I don't put much stock into ME, but to each his own).
The problem with /r/politics is that its a default sub and therefore tacitly endorsed by Reddit, Inc., and it's so large that it has real-world implications. Any can start a new politics sub, and many have, but nothing will gain any traction or credibility with a wider audience.
It's kind of like that with the ME forum. A much smaller scale of course but it has become the go to place and they have a form of monopoly so to speak. Human nature is very finicky when t comes to these things and very rarely change their hang out spots out of laziness. This is why voat hasn't taken off. People kind of have to go where everyone else goes.
Yes, but only real liberals, the War and corruption supporting neolibs (and delusional useful idiots) are doing just fine worshipping their death queen.
Or you could just respect their right to do as the please on their sub. If you don't respect their right how can you ask for the same respect in return? Do you want /r/poltiics to be coming over here getting mods banned?
There's no such thing as unbiased and I have no problem with the complaining but wanting to go over their head to change it is a slipper slope. First, if all it takes is a bunch of people complaining to the admin to control another sub, they have a lot more people than this sub and guess who's going to lose? I wouldn't get into a majority fight with /r/politics.
Be glad you have a place you can go an be away from them because you are in the minority.

This, the admins love the way r/politics is being run right now, and would prefer the entirety of Reddit be moderated the same way.
