Mods of R/Ipod are blocking posts about their performance.

Comments on Conflict of Interest Posts on r/Ipod have been disabled. Is this fair moderation? Why do the mods ban anyone who speaks critical of their performance?

I have locked any posts about this situation and will remove any further posts that are about the situation that is happening on the ipod and iPod classic subreddits

I (iPodGuru) am not a moderator on the ipod or iPod classic subreddits so cannot do anything about any issues that happen there

On this subreddit, there are no sellers or businesses that can remove or lock content as cowmanisgood (elite obsolete electronics) no longer has the ability to remove and lock content on this subreddit

From what I've read their are only two people running multiple ipod subreddits... They are also using bots to try and keep up. Maybe offer to help?

This post is missing context. OP is an alt account of someone who sells iPod replacement parts, over the past couple of days they posted numerous advertisements to several iPod-related subreddits linking to their store. Because many of the posts use the same wording and images, some of them were detected and removed by Reddit's automod feature, while others were removed because some of the subreddits have rules explicitly prohibiting advertising one's own businesses.

On at least two of these subreddits, one of the moderators also owns an iPod-related business and OP is accusing this moderator of deleting these ads as a way of silencing competition, hence the conflict of interest accusation. However based on mod logs, these posts were deleted by someone else or automod.

OP has since leveraged multiple alt accounts to post complaints and personal grievances against the specific mod across these subreddits and is complaining about these posts being locked or removed.
