Reddit has steadfastly refused to even address the question of mod abuse of bans. And I'm not talking about this thread. I'm talking years and years. Never a single comment from any admin anywhere about why it ever made sense to give a sub like the donald unlimited bans in the first place.
IF they gave the sub "every opportunity" because of its "unique status" as a political subreddit then WHY didn't they also protect the free speech of users there as well? Why was the donald allowed to ban, and ban and ban until it was nothing but a troll echo chamber?
They won't touch this question and i don't know why. I've asked it many times of many different admins over and over for many years and I've seen others ask about it as well. They will not touch it. For some reason unlimited bans is seen as a topic that cannot be discussed.
My personal case was I was permanently banned from the Donald for asking why, if he was supposed to drain the swamp, was his cabinet like a wish list from corporations. That's a reasonable question. But I was banned anyway, for life, with no recourse other than to circumvent the site rules and make a new account to ask it again.
THATS how you create a toxic echo chamber. It's frustrating admins won't even think about their role in creating the donald.
There's nothing here!
