Then why did you ban a blackladies mod? If you're keeping hands off then why are you banning individual users that do things like call out the admins for refusing to help them deal with people brigading their subs and posting dead mutilated black children?

So the admins then tell the user that their sub wasn't being brigaded and that the ban tool is there for dealing with trolls, yet that's apparently not good enough?

Inconsistent banning of subs is bad enough, but the insistent "admins are racist" spin you guys keep trying to put on the blackladies scenario is fucking ridiculous.

I thought it had been established that /u/DualPollux was banned for constantly brigading and interfering with other subs she doesn't like.

No. That was not established. At all. Their first response was she imposed her ire on subreddits she didn't like. Their second said she broke rules, but didn't cite which.

But that's neither here nor there. The admins told blackladies to wield their ban hammer against trolls that were invading their sub. Why was that not enough for the racist subreddits? Why does blackladies get a "deal with it yourselves" and racist subs get a "hold on kiddos, we'll go shadow ban her for you"?
