While you are here. Last week, I had removed a post for not fitting the definition of the sub and clearly against the rules of posting in one of my subs.
The user came to modmail and wanted their post reinstated.
They gave a snippy answer and got muted. This 10 year old account was suspended for 3 days for 'harassment' after muting the user.
Why give us a moderating tool to be able to mute users and then suspend an account because of it? Of course, I appealed the ban and got crickets as a response.

Did the mod give a nasty reply back? Mods can get in trouble just like users can if they send nasty messages. If they didn't, then I'd guess that reddit just acted on the wrong user. There were a couple times that I reported a nasty user in modmail and my fellow mod ended up getting suspended since reddit acted on the wrong account.
