They probably received a few reports from users. I may have hit the report button once or twice on them for spamming. I hang out in the new queue a lot.

"Two wrongs" is a horrible argument. Yeah that person is spamming.

Beats me.

I reported that guy more than once..

mod's not gonna do anything about it, and Bernie4ever either.

pretty sure both of them got more than 1 account spamming here too.

I've reported you a few times as well.

cool

I'm not some expert Reddit guy and joined this sub within last week or 2 and I could tell within a few days how biased it really is.

I'm not some expert Reddit guy and joined this sub within last week or 2 and I could tell within a few days how biased it really is.

Compared to places like /r/politics or /r/worldnews, it's really not partisan.

You won't get banned for expressing something anti-Trump. You also (probably) won't get downvoted into oblivion.

I have a better idea; a single post calling for both the imprisonment of Hillary and the impeachment and removal of Trump.

I would wager that the responses would be slightly in favor of the anti-Clinton ones, but the same two posts in r]politics would get you a massively skewed result in favor of the anti-Trump post. Bias is unavoidable, however less bias is always preferable to more bias.

You broke the rules when you said the sub was a Trump soapbox.

Since we are discussing why you were temp banned I think rule 2 doesn't apply to me here.

"Posts that attack this sub, users or mods"

Anything that starts with "this sub" and end with an intended derogatory statement should fit in to that rule.

It's "painting with a broad brush" and labeling the sub as something it's not. More than one user would consider it an attack including myself .. which I personally identify as an independent and rarely speak about Trump in a positive manner.

It it possible that your actions themselves attract those you disagree with? Are you trying to trigger Trump supporters?

Shit happens man. People constantly flock to this sub because it doesn't censor opinion. It happened when the FPH shit went down too. Just because there's an influx of refugees from another sub doesn't change what this place is.

They have flaired posts before.

The contents of the leak haven't been fully vetted or proven true. That's unverifiable in my book.

Wow. So you agree but disagree?

You are just mincing words to suit your agenda.

Unverifiable has no indication of a time constraint nor does the definition say it's an indefinite state. It's a word to describe something at that moment with the information available.

I'm pretty sure this conversation has been worthless since you just plan on trying to force your opinion instead of actually having a conversation.

You are just being argumentative and I can understand why you would have issues with communicating with others.

haven't been fully vetted or proven true

That might be relevant in r/news or such, but here it stank of a politically motivated move since this is not r/news.

4chan larp post are unverifiable but we get them all day without unverifiable tags.

There's a big difference between a source from 4chan and an MSM article.

Whats the difference?

why did you step down as a mod here?

Short answer: The final straws were mod team support of pizzagate spammers and "official" support (stickied) of a pizzagate post inciting harassment and violence.

Also, the mods, as a group, let some users get away with much more than others. Selective enforcement of the rules has become the standard here.

Idk the reason, but him throwing a fit about it won't help his situation.

I'd be irked too, but blowing stuff up without TRYING to lay low and ask for a reversal is kinda negative in my eyes.

That jumps from a bullshit temp ban to just a ban.

Why was he muted?

Yeah, people don't realize that these posts only hurt OP since they are being somewhat accusatory without giving the mods a chance to respond. It could also be considered inflammatory or an attack on a mod.

If people have grievances with a mod they should just message the mod mail in the queue first before going nuclear.

He was banned because all three of his posts were Trump russian ties rhetoric, as the other user you mention posts a lot but on a variety of different subjects.

My guess is that E-T-S posts mostly nothing but Russian ties thread and the mods finally got annoyed and did something about it.

Not saying I agree, that's just the way I see it.

shit fucking poster, just not stop political he said she said bullshit

It amazes me people are still stuck on this bullshit pizzagate stuff. I joined this sub hoping for some real conspiracies smh

Is that really how it started?

I'll put it like this. I was once banned for what I thought was the most ridiculous thing possible. A post of mine about the blockchain where I posted in a trollish way. Yes I did buy into the blockchain kool-aid and the post was trollish sure. But a comment from months ago?? I was muted and unable to comment on anything.

I even messaged modmail and got lost in the crowd. But instead of freaking out I just messaged modmail again and got it all straightened out. Mods are just regular people too and make mistakes. I guess that when mods get a reported comment that it doesn't provide as much context as it probably should.

But a post like this while some may see as a shitpost is important because challenging the "power structure" of even our little corner of reddit is important. But not going through the proper channels first will not help the cause at all.

I think the change of the subs general feel is that there has been a steady increase of more and more new folks coming to the conspiracy side.(mwahaha). And although they don't see the value of well sourced posts and having a well informed userbase that does its own research. They are just beginning their quest for the truth. But I could just be talking out of my ass because I have only lurked here about 2 years.

I was banned once and one of the mods basically told me, I don't know what you were banned for.

Constant no-content anti-Trump spam.

slightly off topic, but since meta and to the mods:

why i have i lost the ability to upvote posts within a thread?

i can upvote OPs

i can comment

but nothing happens when i try to upvote reply posts.

makes me sad to not be able to spread the love =(

Change the np in the url to www... You got switched over to No Participation at some point.

Didn't you hear ? This is a snow globe for special snowflakes now. Call someone out on there bullshit that the mods approve of and you may get banned . Call someone out when you disagree because they don't have evidence you may get banned. Get pissed because someone talks shit to you , you may get banned. Call someone out for shit posting you guessed it , banned ,Mods are itching to ban/ censor organic accounts that don't fit in around here so watch you say

It's a numbers game even if the numbers don't add up , the overseers want traffic ,if they ban a user who posts a ton of content it takes away from what the overseers believe what the masses want, ban a guy who post very little who's going to miss that guy ? Also, we have determined over the past few months there is a bunch of paid commercial accounts shilling and to not trust them , not feed them . Keep that in mind when you call for a ban or cry out in concern for a sub that doesn't care about small accounts because small organic accounts are a dime a dozen and don't write a check to Reddit .

Based off his name and some of the posts by him I saw, I'm assuming it's because he dared try to post negative things about the President in r/conspiracy.

EDIT: Any proof he was banned?

If he's not a shill, a few days timeout would probably be sufficient. It works well in other (non-reddit) forums.

I never reported him, but I noticed he would camp on threads, and could push a rate of 50% of the responses in a thread. You can call that fanaticism, addiction, unhealthy or something else. I see it as anti-social, as it's a surefire method to drive off genuine human posters.

I've been guilty of the same in the past, which is why I'm even cognizant of it.

Or maybe he went personal in some posts that are now deleted? We wouldn't know. I've seen him get close enough to that line, and combined with his tendency to camp threads I wouldn't be surprised if he overreacted somewhere and got himself reported for genuine violations. It's a major risk when you won't let a point go.

The reasoning in the mod logs is also "spamming" when he put up 3 posts in an hour while Lelouch put up over 50 throughout the day and Lelouch didn't receive a ban.

If that's the actual reason, that seems ridiculous.

Then again, I've seen at least one account today which looked like it could be a throw away account of his.

Something tells me he's getting his fix in, regardless of the state of that one account.

Even if that were the case, that does not absolve the mods for a less than stellar ban reason.

If that's the actual reason, that seems ridiculous.

/facepalm

I was stating that if it were the case that he made an alt and is posting in this sub, it doesn't absolve the mods of banning him

I never said it did.

I even quoted my own statement on it that you've twice ignored now.

If that's the actual reason, that seems ridiculous.

There is a new sub /r/conspiracyalt that I wish would take off. I just want to read non-political conspiracies now and again

Lmao. Git ur hid ada ur is

Na, u git me.

Okay I never addressed this post because it was downvoted.

Enough Trump spam was banned because all he did was bitch about Trump spam while spamming Trump spam.

https://www.reddit.com/user/ENOUGH_TRUMP_SPAM_/?count=75&after=t1_deody3q

How about an entire page of his history spamming the same comment over and over again?

Calling Trump supporters in Conspiracy boot licking fascists.

He deserved his ban. Get over it.

I don't know maybe I'm hostile because you automatically believe enoughtrumpspam's bullshit story about why he was banned when all you had to do was click through 3 pages of his user history to see that he is a spammer... Which is exactly what the modmail he screen called said he was banned for.

Also I just looked into /u/Lelouch_Di_Britannia about ten pages of his submitted history. While he does post some pro Trump stuff he also posts some anti Trump administration stuff, pizzagate, domestic spying. He is all over the place.

He isn't spamming pro Trump stuff as it's been framed by enoughtrumpspam's allegations.

So here is where we are now man. You can either deal with it or you can go away on your own or with my assistance. Your call. It's don't have time to deal with the tears of people who won't even flip through a spammer's user history before jumping on the bandwagon that the world is ending.

You could have easily seen for yourself that enoughtrumpspam is indeed a spammer. It took me like 20 seconds to rediscover why I banned him.

This conversation/debate about this user is officially over. Any further bitching about his ban will be interpreted by me as "you need my assistance".

K

The mods told me that I can 3 posts per hour. So that's what I'm doing.

Yeah, people don't realize that these posts only hurt OP since they are being somewhat accusatory without giving the mods a chance to respond. It could also be considered inflammatory or an attack on a mod.
