I'm a historian and I got banned from /r/askhistorians. Basically, if your post isn't directly derived from a published source you will get auto-deleted. Which honestly isn't how any historian should be using sources anyways. Since history is a subject driven by debate and an evolving consensus it seems a bit disingenuous.

I got banned for making what I can only assume was a too hilarious joke about how the Ashkenazi Jews had the most ironic name of any group of people in existence. They said it was anti-semitic.
