Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I’ve never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I’ve ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck’s bot decided to permaban me even though I’ve not broken any rules.

The ban

The single comment I’ve ever made on r/MensRights

Man Reddit is trash.

    This happened to me before, years ago before the Dark Times.

    I don’t recall which sub banned me for posting where, but it’s been a thing for awhile. In my case, I messaged one of the mods of the sub that banned me, explained that I was doing something similar & not a member of that sub, and they unbanned me.

      You make an excellent point. Years ago you could actually appeal a subreddit ban or even an Admin total ban from reddit. They still have an “appeal” process but it seems like their new policy is once you are banned that’s it. They have no interest in listening to a logical explanation… They are also checking your past posts and comments history. Got banned recently from a group NOT because of anything I posted or commented on but because I had posted something in another group that they didn’t like. Fuck all of them over there.
