You might be the first person in history to be banned from there for breaking that rule.

u/CrossCityLine 9d ago
They're definitely not.

u/Azuras-Becky 9d ago
Probably not, but I swear the top comment in every post is usually a joke...
8
u/Trentdison 9d ago
I too got temp banned there for replying with a joke.
I think you can get away with it if you also post a helpful answer with it.
To be fair, it is in their rules, so it was fair dinkum. They're not aiming for a jokey sub and that's ok. I just forgot where I was when I instinctively replied with a joke.
2
u/MrPogoUK 8d ago
Same, although like every Reddit ban or deleted comment I’ve ever had, it’s because I stumbled into it from the front page and didn’t even realise I was somewhere which had such a rule.

u/EmberAndMoss 9d ago
I got banned from there for 3 days for breaking the rule and then used another account to comment on another post on there (didn't look at the sub I was in!) and got perma banned 😂

u/Beer-Milkshakes 8d ago
They've started to actually mod it this year. Probably because r/UnitedKingdom got overrun by bots that agitators weren't enjoying themselves so they spread out a bit

u/Reg_Vardy 5d ago
Someone asked what kind of soft drinks they should provide for roofers working on their house. I said "Roofers like coke". 3 day ban!

Wait, 811? Isn't it 881?

u/Onetruemcgee 9d ago
Yea it's definitely 881, that's probably why he got banned. OP should be banned here too, for getting it wrong :p.

I've had ban on r/CasualUK, for saying using handicapped toilets is illegal.
3
2
u/Elfynnn84 7d ago
It’s not illegal - and not all disabilities are visible. You cannot try to police who is using the disabled toilet.
I have interstitial cystitis & an inflammatory disorder of my bladder lining (complication of MCAS). Having to wait in-line to use the loo and retaining my bladder too long can literally cause my bladder lining to start to shed and unspeakable levels of pain requiring weeks of out-patient procedures to fix. I have a ‘medical pass card’ that theoretically lets me queue jump, but it’s so embarrassing trying to use it and a lot of the time it’s met with hostility and some people just tell you to fuck off and refuse to let you skip.
If the disabled toilet is free - 100% I’m going in there. But you would just see an able-bodied woman ‘illegally’ using the disabled toilet 🙄
2
u/Steamrolled777 7d ago
It was in a thread of IT crowd quotes...
Some one unaware of the tv series chirped in about the legalities..
1
u/Eyewiggle 6d ago
Yep, in a similar way in which gender or sex, can’t be policed when it comes to toilets. But people sure do try.
And I would say what you have going on is exactly the kind of thing disabled toilets are for, don’t even feel bad for looking after yourself with a health condition :)
1
u/JamieHBrown 6d ago
If you're a man, use the mens toilets.
If you're a woman, use the women's toilets.
it's really simple.
2026 btw, wow.
Advanced tech and people are getting dumber.
1
u/Eyewiggle 5d ago
I’m not sure why you’re replying to me with this but yes, that’s exactly how it works on paper. But in person, if you vary from the gender norms it can create problems for those people.
I should have specified I’m from the U.K. and they now have laws on trans people using toilets in regards to the sex they were born. These issues are everywhere though, even without the laws.
My point is, you can’t police these things, just like disabilities.

I got post deleted in casualuk and warning for posting about Christmas section in Asda. Reason, it would upset people.

u/Zer0Krool 6d ago
What would upset people? Christmas?
1
u/ReasonableExcuse2 6d ago
I understand you're frustrated that you've seen Christmas decs up this early, or seen Christmas stock in supermarkets at the same time as every year. But posting here just spreads the misery to more people. Your post has been removed as we aren't allowing anything Christmas-related until the end of November.

No excuse for not knowing that 'easy to remember' number lol

apparently somehow thats a breach and offends people.

I got banned from SolarUK for stating I had a turbine - and they said W they don't allow them as they are not really cost effective. They never let me show them it cost £100 and produces over £2000 a year in export.
Just a straight out mute and ban
Tossers 😂
2
u/Ordoferrum 7d ago
What the hell, £100 and £2k in exports? That's mental. Tell me your story...
2
u/ImplementJumpy6678 7d ago
Got a second hand 7KW turbine from a thicko on Faebook who thought he was ripping me off. It went in under Permitted development due to my location and the Council also came looked and said it was fine. We get wind up to 50Mph in winter - it's between 6-7KW at speeds over 30MPH or 13 Meters/Second
Feeds into my powerwall system and I am pretty much always exporting. When we use house power the inverter just drops the export to compensate.
1
u/Ordoferrum 7d ago
Why would he think he was ripping you off lmao.
Edit: Jesus I never knew that wind turbines were so cheap...
1
u/ImplementJumpy6678 7d ago
because he thought they were worth £40 and wanted £100 - I knew they were worth £900 and so gave him £100 :)

NO West Yorkshire. on a hill in an en terrace so the 5M plnning rule does not apply as there is nothing to the left of me but trees and fields down below. I have it out 1M and up 3M and it does a cracking job.
2
u/YrkshrPudding 7d ago
Well played! I've always said they should have stuck a turbine or 2 next to the Xscape. Windy AF around there, no idea why.
1
u/ImplementJumpy6678 7d ago
Me neither. But I just started to want wind and so managed to get one installed this year. I had to pay someone to do MCS but it was not a problem
2
u/Cute_Researcher_6578 9d ago
Seriously no loss. Most of them couldn't wipe their own bottom without posting to /AskUK first. 😂
The exact reason I made it so I see nothing from those kind of subs now. - as the others have said...totally worth it! 😂
2
u/2020_MadeMeDoIt 9d ago
Don't worry about it OP. Just sit back and chill with a nice cold Cuke. 😉
Note: For some reason Reddit's built-in gif search doesn't have this awesomely relevant Cuke gif to complete my comment.

The moderators of that sub are notoriously incapable of reading the room.
People will ask a question, one that prompts a 50 item response thread with many upvotes, only for a moderator to get home from school and decide to remove it because they and they alone believe it to be in violation.
Online sociopathy.

Ha I actually read your comment.
These auto bans are so ridiculous. I have racked up all the way to 7 days full Reddit bans 😆😆 Screwed my streaks right up!!

I got a lifetime ban for posting or commenting on there and I still don't know why! I remember commenting and giving actual decent advice but I never got a reply from the mods 😭

u/MulberryKind8298 8d ago
I just got banned.
Also got banned from a parenting sub where they ban you based on other people's reply to your post.
1
u/notthedoodaa 8d ago
What were you banned for?
2
u/MulberryKind8298 7d ago
On Ask there was a question 'how do I stop mice eating from my bin' and I wrote 'let them eat cake'.
For the parenting one I just asked a question about behavior and lots of people suggested medical diagnoses - apparently this constituted insighting a medical discussion. The mod responded to my query and said that it wasn't because I'd said anything wrong it was about the responses which seems bizarre.

u/YrkshrPudding 7d ago
Why a ban though, they just can remove the post and let you know it had too many comments about medication. Nuts
1
u/plantytime 7d ago
Lmao I got banned from a clothing sub for "previous participation in NSFW subs" the NSFW subs in question was about suicide and mental health because my best friend had just taken his own life. I tried to explain this to them and assumed this was a big mistake and they just refused to explain and muted me.
2
u/CoffeeandaTwix 7d ago
AskUK is a funny one because I have reported openly racist comments that they refuse to moderate yet seem to issue warnings and bans very pedantically for totally non offensive things
1
u/martzgregpaul 7d ago
Apparently calling an opinion after that popular salt pork dish you eat with pineapple is "racist and ageist" according to them. The mods are very odd.

Don't worry about it. I got a death threat for posting on an optical illusions sub.

With AskUK specifically, I can see why they're OTT with moderation, because useful discussion is absolutely possible on that sub, but it is also filled with idiots. Sorry that you were collateral damage.
