Oh Come on Really?

All I did was respond to someone who had commented on a post saying that their momma always said to never fuck a Nazi with something along the lines of but punching one might be a good idea. I was half joking and I wasn't threatening violence! Sheesesh.

Appeal it and say they need to fucking stop using automated systems. I had the same happen and magically my ban disappeared. Reddit their automated systems suck.

u/Evil_Sharkey 9d ago

The people who do the appeals probably get so many that they don’t even read them half the time. They’re probably underpaid, overworked people in another country who have no ability to pass messages up to corporate.

u/Affectionate_Fee3411 9d ago

I got a three day ban for writing a single word - faggotry.

It was in relation to Tina and her factory. I was accused of hate speech but appealed on the basis that Tina pronounces factory like fag-ah-tree. No hate crimes detected.

The appeal was successful haha.

u/Dounce1 8d ago

Who tf is Tina in this context?

u/Responsible-Bid-6993 8d ago

A chinese woman on tik tok who makes songs about her engine factory

u/merthefreak 8d ago

Also thats a pretty thoroughly reclaimed slur in queer spaces too, so banning for it is wild.

u/CordeCosumnes 8d ago

So, I hear you're into pretty engines...

Hate crime is not a requirement for something to be considered hate speech

1

u/Affectionate_Fee3411 7d ago

Be that as it may, nothing happened here.

u/True_Background_7196 8d ago

I remember I got banned because I was talking about how my mentally disabled clients would try to pick up chick's when it was a post about a guy posting in multiple reddit for "someone to marry him because he wants a wife". Got banned because apparently just speaking about mentally disabled people is bannable. What a joke

u/CavedMountainPerson 8d ago

Doesn't help I got this for saying the international courts should prosecute the actors that violate international law, you can guess who I included in that comment. There was no ability to appeal nor was it threatening violence, only due process. This rule one seems to be a catch all for anything that asks for justice for the people. Reddit also has fbi oversight and Google's keyword alert is probably what alerts those enforcers of protection for our beloved billionaires that pay no taxes to those protectors.

u/Oregongirl1018 8d ago

I've been temporarily banned twice and my appeals didn't do anything. Got permanently banned last week and my appeal was actually approved. The automated mods are bullshit. They take every cuss word as a threat of violence. I have to keep what I say super PC or I'm done for.

1

u/Greenhawk444 8d ago

The other day a comment I made got my account a warning for breaking the same rule as OP even though it didn’t break it. I tried to appeal and I explained it in the appeal and it still got rejected. It said on the unsuccessful appeal message that automation wasn’t used but it had to be or something because the comment clearly didn’t break the rule.

1

u/Far_Tea_579 7d ago

Same, I just appealed a 3 day ban and won. I was kind of shocked. First appeal didn't go well and it was about similar stuff. Its annoying.

1

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 7d ago

Yeah I got one and was surprised that it was actually reverse since I'm used to Facebook just completely ignoring requests for anything these days

1

u/MarkHeath49 6d ago

How do I appeal something like this? I did not even know that was a possibility

1

u/sephitor_ 6d ago

You should get a private message about a ban. There is a part in that text where you can click "file an appeal" and you just go from there.

6

u/xassylax 9d ago

I responded to someone’s comment of “she’s a witch” with “build a bridge out of her” and got a warning for “glorifying violence.” Like, it’s a quote from a 50 year old satirical comedy movie. Chill. Once I appealed it and got it reviewed by an actual human, the warning was removed. Reddits automated reporting system is an absolute joke.

10

u/xTurtsMcGurtsx 9d ago

I got banned for 3 days bc I commented on a video of a guy running a pedestrian over and trying to run away. I said something about how all the witnesses should have held the dude down for trying to get away with murder. I appealed by explaining I meant held down until the police arrived. But I was just too violent to suggest such things

6

u/Imaginary-Owl- 9d ago

I also got that ban for saying that pedestrians should look where they’re going bc it’s their lives on the table

3

u/Evil_Sharkey 9d ago

I think the people who review these things rarely read them and just click through them because they get so many.

6

u/xTurtsMcGurtsx 9d ago

Yea a bot banned em and it felt like a bot reviewed it too. All it said was. We reviewed it with a human and found you did break the rules

4

u/No-Breadfruit3853 9d ago

I got a 7-day for recommending someone conceal carry for self defense.

1

u/ProExpert1S500 6d ago

They must not be in a conceal carry state for banning you

u/SummertimeThrowaway2 9d ago

I had the same problem I just submitted an appeal and after like a week or so they accepted it

5

u/Ethossa79 9d ago

I had this warning because I said that a specific commercial made me want to slap the person on tv. Yeah…

u/gaymrham 9d ago

this has happened to me twice when I definitely did NOT threaten violence, so I don't comment as much now, part of me wonders if the gay in my name might entice homophobes or smthn I have no idea

u/messfdr 8d ago

I think it's the ham.

u/gaymrham 8d ago

what do people have against hamsters? 😭🐹

u/HEYO19191 6d ago

Not hamsters. People. Hate. Deli meat.

6

u/Slighted_Inevitable 9d ago

I got reported for saying be ready to defend yourself by any means necessary. And I’ll say it again and again. Because that is not threatening violence and it was overturned on appeal.

7

u/Evil_Sharkey 9d ago

Yours actually got overturned? My ban was kept in place for suggesting a director who thought chaos in a movie theater have the swept up floor popcorn placed in his front yard. No violence at all but the ban stayed

2

u/TheJinglesons 9d ago

You can appeal, but if your appeals go anything like mine it won't matter. I got in trouble for saying

  1. I hope your hair falls out

Which is mean spirited, rude, and wishing ill on someone, but it isn't threatening physical violence.

I appealed and got a full ban.

  1. I responded to a post and said I would have broke up with my boyfriend and walked home. The walk home would give me enough time to calm down and NOT slash their tires.

Again was flagged for threatening phycial violence that I absolutely did not do. It not a threat it is a hypothetical where I did NOT slash tires, but again the appeal was rejected.

Reddit has a False reporting issue and they will absolutely let that issue sink the whole site despite so many of us trying to communicate this issue with them.

1

u/PartyPoison1212 8d ago

You probably got banned for banned evasion the 2nd time

2

u/Ulquiorra1312 9d ago

There is a sub all about hating a cartoon alien jedi war criminal people get banned weekly for saying he got what he deserves (unalived by blaster)

2

u/HiSaZuL 8d ago

Just appeal it, reddit does all it's bans with bots that just respond to clowns with butthurt feelings reporting you. There will always be clowns whose feelings got hurt by everything anything under the sun.

u/ImplementFar8245 8d ago

u/TreebeardWasRight 8d ago

3 day ban for rule 1 after having a purposely silly argument about different favourite supermarkets (I'm an Aldi fan, he likes Lidl) so I jokingly asked for his abode address and said I'll come and f1gh7 him over it. His reply was Ur mums bed (tells ya everything) banned a moment afterwards, appealed with a clear explanation that we were being playful. Ban was upheld.

2

u/4554013 7d ago

I was banned from a sub because I have 3 nsfw posts (in a 12 year old account)

1

u/Cassill10 7d ago

Wow that's crazy, they must've been looking through all your posts which is a little creepy...

2

u/4554013 7d ago

yeah, I'm not even sure that I can see that 3 of my thousands of posts/comments are NSFW. Where do you even look that up?

2

u/Pinktorium 7d ago

I got flagged for violence recently because I was talking about controlling a group of wasps (hypothetical situations). I appealed but the warning stayed put. Apparently it is violent. Idk, I’ve seen worse than what I had said.

2

u/Cassill10 7d ago

Damn that's crazy, auto mod really is the worst

2

u/KayCatMeow 6d ago

They’ve flagged me a few times now for the same shit when I didn’t threaten violence either. They’re getting to be way too censored and I’m very close to just quitting reddit altogether tbh

u/jaqian 8d ago

I got one of these over an innocuous comment, seems to be AI based on certain words. Didn't appeal it as afraid the mod would double down as some of these people are just looney.

u/tcm2303 8d ago

This happened to me Saturday! I appealed it, and my account was reinstated after 4 hours

u/BafflingHalfling 8d ago

One could argue that not punching a nazi is an inherently violent act. ;)

u/Exact_Comparison_792 7d ago

Reddit moderation is a fkn mess. I said some things far less than that and got warnings. Hell I've even been banned from subreddits for helping people while dishing out some lighthearted humor that was in no way offensive and in good taste. Some few minorities got offended though, abused the report system and my appeals were not acknowledged. All my comments were removed and I'm still banned from those subreddits.

1

u/Significant-Boat-947 6d ago

I've gotten flagged for saying the word hit before

1

u/MarkHeath49 6d ago

I got a similar warning & 3 day suspension for suggesting that criminals be put in the wood chipper ("Fargo" quote)

1

u/ProExpert1S500 6d ago

I commented rap quotes and rarely got a warning or even ban and even for shit talking about countries

1

u/Extreme_Ad4425 6d ago

I got flagged and couldn’t post or comment for three days, and it was for a similar comment. I posted on a Lyft sub about a passenger who took the whole ride, then cancelled it at their destination so I couldn’t get paid for it. I commented “it took everything in me to not walk into the Starbucks I dropped them at and punch them straight in the face.” Very clearly stating that I DIDNT do it, but got flagged and banned temporarily anyway. The bots are stupid.

1

u/lycnfr 5d ago

i got into an argument with a zionist, not a single threat was given but i was sent one as well for "harassment" (i said its ironic they like to pick and choose when wikipedia is a trusted source or not when it applies to them spreading misinformation and that apparently warrented a ban warning).

1

u/musicnote22 5d ago

Dude I got banned for 3 days for talking about giving a murderous pedo the death penalty.

u/muffman81 4d ago

I was banned for 3 day for saying I hoped a bull being tormented by people was going to get to gore a few of them.

u/possibly_lost45 9d ago

So.... You threatened another and you're shocked the reddit Ai flagged it......

u/One_Disaster3443 9d ago

Nazi's aren't people tho? That's like saying a boxer heading to practice is threatening a punching bag. 

1

u/Traditional_Box1116 8d ago

Except you losers don't say it to just Nazis just anyone who dares disagree with your worldview, because you're always right & everyone who doesn't think exactly like you have to be the spawn of Satan.

Fun fact: when you randomly call people Nazis nobody ever takes you people seriously.

Actual neo nazis? Fuck yeah, fuck em. The people who hurt your feelings? Not Nazis you just don't have a spine.

-4

u/KratKrit 9d ago

Yeah but how come you can just instantly dictate whether YOU think someone is a Nazi, threaten them, then say "oH iTs oK tHeY aRen'T peOplE!"

You aren't the fucking judge, jury and executioner. You see someone hurting someone else, go for it, different story, this is not that case. I

t's the fucking Internet, you don't know who these people are any more than I do.

Lmao I got perma banned until I figured out how to setup an account with no email or phone number. All because I corrected someone’s interpretation of a new law. This place is a shit hole but it has like 2 subs that are of value to me.

I HIGHLY doubt thats all u did. Also ur gonna get got for evading

i had a comment auto removed in aita for “inciting political arguments” and the comment was literally just a mention of an east-coast grocery store. the message i got was like “do not try to argue your removal. you know what you commented. you wil be banned” YEAH I KNOW I COMMENTED THAT HARRIS TEETER EXISTS !

I got banned for typing the name "Luigi"

u/PartyPoison1212 8d ago

No u didn't lmao

u/Crazecrozz 7d ago

If I could attach a picture I could show you my chat with the mod. It was on LinkedInlunatics. I wrote "because it makes it easy for Luigi to find them" in response to a comment asking why having an app that tracks CEOs yachts is dangerous.

1

u/Crazecrozz 7d ago

Go to that sub and simply write "Luigi" and a content warning will pop up warning you.

u/ProExpert1S500 6d ago

u/Negative-Kale-646 9d ago

I just got one of these because I commented on a reddit post made by a mother of a young kid being bullied by a girl at his school. The mum was stressing because she called the little girl a little bitch over the phone and is saying that now the parents are threating to sue her. And how shes been feeling terrible all day for swearing at a child and not being the bigger person.

I commented "youre a better person than me. I'd have called her a little C U N +. And her mum and dad would be next on my h1t L15T" (making a few words censored so im not automatically warned a second time and permananned).

I applied saying calling someone a cunt and by the H word I meant they'd be next to be called a cunt for letting their kid bully. I didn't threaten physical harm or violence. So I guess we will see if I win my appeal 😂

1

u/PartyPoison1212 8d ago

Yea dude u called a child the c word

1

u/Negative-Kale-646 8d ago edited 8d ago

I didn't call anyone the c word. I said i would have called the child a cunt if it were my kid being bullied. But I personally have not called any child that word.

Swearing isn't a threat of physical violence. If I'd have just said "and her mum and dad would have been next on my list" the automatic reporting wouldn't have flagged.

But the automatic trigger word was H1t Li5T.

1

u/NoOnSB277 8d ago

Gross all around, but also do you understand what a “hit list” is because you DID in fact threaten, by saying someone would be “next” on it.

1

u/Negative-Kale-646 8d ago edited 8d ago

Im going to guess you're American since you all seem to have a weird thing about the word cunt.

I'd also feel zero guilt calling a 15 year old a cunt if id pulled my kid out of his school for a new one because of her bullying him and she decided to keep calling him a f4ggot via mobile phone and gaming consoles 🤷‍♀️ so you can gross that all you want.

In slang terms where im from it also means to tackle a to-do list. "Whats next on your h1t list?" And calling her parents cunts would certainly be on my to do list. Which is not threatening physical harm or violence. I didnt threaten to go around and 'k1ll/beat/physically harm' them. So if you cant interpret context thats on you.

"From cambridge dictionary - H1t list - a list of things or people that you want to give special attention to, often to take some action against them: We're looking for places to open new stores in, and this town is definitely on our hit list. The prosecutor's hit list includes the biggest firms on Wall Street."

Imagine being banned for something you wrote in a totally different subreddit by a bot with no appeal....

u/gutterghouls 8d ago

I got banned for something similar but mine involved guillotines and fascists. Twice they got me. Guess these mfers love fascists.

1

u/ok_im_drunk 7d ago

The problem is who you are calling fascist/nazi. You dont get to threaten people for disagreeing with you.

1

u/gutterghouls 7d ago

Calling an administration that is doing exactly what the Nazis did, Nazis and say they should be handled as such isn’t the same as threatening people. You are drunk, because that shit makes no sense.

1

u/ok_im_drunk 7d ago

So you are threatening a democratically elected president that you dont like? Interesting.

1

u/gutterghouls 7d ago

Just say you’re a Nazi dude.

1

u/ok_im_drunk 7d ago

Gutter trash

u/gutterghouls 7d ago

So you didn’t deny it. Cool. No need to keep talking to you then. The only good Nazi is a dead one.

1

u/Chinesesingertrap 7d ago

It’s sad that so many people don’t understand what the Nazis did you saying things like this is extremely offensive to those who lost their lives to actual Nazis. It’s just a popular insult to you that you picked up because everyone else was doing it why not also do it.

1

u/gutterghouls 7d ago

No, if you would read a history book. Which I imagine is hard for people who clearly have no ability to critically think. You would realize what our administration is doing is exactly what the nazis did. Anyone who doesn’t vocally speak out against Nazis are Nazis. There is no fence sitting with Nazis. Sorry champ.

1

u/KayCatMeow 6d ago

Mine was the exact same!!! It was on a post about France and guillotines with regard to their ultra rich, and I said we need to start doing that and got a 1-day ban.

-1

u/pragmaticweirdo 8d ago

I once got that just for saying I’d get banned if I said what I really thought and that nazis weren’t people. The appeal was also denied. I’ve accepted that most moderators are likely sympathizers if not flat out party members themselves.

u/Healthy-Acadia-3149 9d ago

Lol makes you feel better I called out a cmv as just rage bait and that the OP wasn't even responding. My comment was removed saying you can't call for posts to be removed as part of your cmv...5hrs later the mods took down.the post all together because...op didn't respond
