Maybes I missed the rule that says “Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned”.

    Spam and scammers are their bread and butter now.

    They’re doing you a favor. Get banned from the entire site and enjoy the freedom.

      A place to pick up jobs for cheap. I’m a programmer so little fixes here and there for beer money. Sometimes leads to bigger things. I’ve even worked for one of the mods there too, funnily enough. There’s been a huge wave of utter gak recently so I thought I’d suggest a fix. Got banned… F**k em!

        Their loss! Start a Lemmy community, or “Moonie”, as I like to call it ever since I randomly made that term up yesterday

    Edit: I misread the posted image, OP is suggesting rules to filter new accounts, not with a new account themselves.

    A brand new account getting banned tells us almost nothing about whether the ban was warranted. Brand new accounts talking about automod are either evading a ban or have history on their main account they don’t want the mods to see. These might be horrible power-abusing mods, but even if there wasn’t a larger history not seen here, banning a brand new account just because the vibes seem off is a-ok in my book.

      OP didn’t get banned for having a new account

        Nothing said why he got banned, but he got banned with a brand new account. The new account isn’t the ban reason itself, but it’s the reason the mods would be on a hair trigger for just the whiff of a problem.

            Ah, I misread the quoted image. I will edit my earlier replies to let people know my assumption was incorrect.

              If it makes you feel any better, that’s how I read the post too until you were corrected. I also missed the beginning sentence. Oops.

    Alright feels like we got another wave coming?

    Is reddit cracking down again?
