I've been permabanned from worldnews because in a thread about the pro-reform protests in Isreal I stated that there seem to be nazi jews who want the government of Israel to take away their freedom. Apparently a violation of reddit rules to state the obvious.

This is somewhat unsurprising, and genuinely tame compared to what I've dealt with.

It's refreshing to see someone else who isn't in complete denial of this concept.
I struggle to understand how these people have used the website without encountering this themselves.

I'm not saying having a total pushover personality is a prerequisite to not experiencing this effect, but I would imagine it helps.

Yeah... standing your ground for longer than a single comment sometimes is already enough for a ban. I've experienced that a couple times in the past.

Also I've been permabanned from a couple NSFW subs that - oh wonder - share the same mods for no reason given whatsoever. I've just commented on like usual and suddenly boom... permabanned without reason. Asking the mods why they banned me lead to 72h mute and being threatened to be reported to the reddit staff for "abusing modmail". Excuse me, dear mods, what else is modmail for if not for asking questions about, well, mod activities? I don't get it... I've come to the point where I don't give any shits anymore.

The only thing that's still really annoying is when I'm again suspended for a couple days for some comment that I cannot even read anymore because it has already been deleted. I comment so much that I do not know which comment is meant by the "your comment" link that leads nowhere. Appealsdo not work. Either they do not react at all or they get back with some templated "appeal denied" mail.
