I reported a Fox News post that claimed climate change has no effect on the rise in wildfires. First time ever reporting anything there, and maybe reported a handful of racist comments before that.

Not even an hour later I got the message that I had been permanently banned! Appealed it, they said they’d reviewed the ban and it stands. Fucking laughable!!

Reddit mods are full of it man.

I got banned from pc master race because I mentioned another subreddit (the precursor to hydrohomies). It has the "nword" in its name, so I was cautious and censored myself with asterisks., "water*****". They banned me under the pretense of racism. Like what? I didnt decide the subs name and all they talked about there was drinking water, regardless of race, skin color, religion, etc. I tried to appeal, and just "alluding" to that subs name was enough for me to be considered racist. Like damn, pot calling the kettle black, there, huh PC "master race"?

What the fuck. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic! The mods over there are a bunch of bawbags.

Lol dude they’ll ban you for saying the thing that Linus thought was the “hard R” word. Not the actual “hard R” word.

good strat when you support that kind of thing but want to make "true" statements about dealing with hate speech.

spez has a history with some of the most disgusting subs on the site.
