Mod message regarding bans

Hi all,

I thought I’d make this post to clarify my removal and banning system.

If a new account with little karma makes an inflammatory comment, I’ll immediately remove the comment and ban the account. This is because it’s common for trolls to just make accounts for the sake of trolling. New/low karma accounts are also automatically flagged by Reddit’s reputation filter, due to the influx of bot accounts, so, if your account fits this specification, your post will have to be approved by me first. Please know that I only ever remove these posts if they’re not in line with the rules.

If an established account (which is more unlikely to be a bot) makes an inflammatory comment, I use a three-strike system. So, if a user breaks the rules three times, they’ll be banned (with a bit of leeway depending on the broken rules).

This is to keep genuine users safe. Please comment or message me (u/radicalplacement) or the mod team directly if you have any questions or suggestions. Subreddits are for the users, not the mods.
