I got banned on another service

[jesseix]

Hello trusted friends of Badger & Blade,

I’ve never been banned from a group before. But today I got banned from a Reddit group and the mods have it set up to where I can’t even send them messages to appeal.

I believe I was wrongfully banned due to AI bots checking for certain keywords and phrases. I know for a fact that I did not violate the rules. I mean there wasn’t even a warning.

So anyway, I’m looking for advice on how to proceed with this. I guess it’s more principle than anything because it’s one of my lower priority groups. I’m just bothered by it and hope it doesn’t give me some kind of a hidden score that they can use to kick me out of other groups that I enjoy much more.

Thanks

What did you post that led to the ban?

found the mistake

No disrespect meant, but isn’t this you trying to upsell the Yates over on Reddit?

If they are using AI its just to take some of the heavy load they have, don’t take it personal, if you think you have been wrongly judged, try to communicate with the mods, if you can’t send them message try from a 2nd account or trough another user.


I was mod in couple of forums in the 90’s and early 2000, way before social media, dark web, reddit..etc, its really a tough job, the forums in question were for tech, networking, telecom, mobile phones, hacking…etc, everyday i have to ban several users who don’t give a **** to any forum rule, we receive a lot of lawsuits, complains from all tech companies you can imagine (Nokia, RIM, Apple, Asus, Cisco, Microsoft,…etc) and we have to remove those posts and comply otherwise we can easily have the forum shutdown. And when you ban someone, i would say 90% of the case he will message you just to insult you, sometimes we just a give a warning but when we ban someone, we restrict him from messaging us or even joining the forum again under different name, we just ban all the IP range on that area.
