I agree the ban description should be changed, but the ban itself is good protection for their sub, although ExpertShitposter has a few more confirmed alts (that I can name) and she can evade it with ease.
Now i'd argue that a ban is unneeded when circumvention is so easy, since the only people a ban would work on are those willing to abide a ban in the first place; which then starts to turn the whole situation into a gun-law analogue.
overall you are correct but what we are dealing with right now is the perception of the sub in question, and it's mods. The same thing will happen whether they gain control of the sub or the sub remains intact as is. They will shitpost on alts making the mods have to over-work hoping to spam them to much they just leave. If they get the sub, it will be spun as "community supported" when they shitpost. We need to make sure SRS/SBBH/PV do not get a hold of yet another high-subscriber subverse so you can see for yourself how they troll when they lose.
The point is Expert sees herself to be a prolific voater and speak for all goats on any manner. She earned the ban and keeping her banned hurts her "ego" if you can even call it that since it's all fake only personas.

Agreed. Banning someone for "attitude" has no place on Voat. Especially not a perma ban. There is no rule on /v/gaming that says "no attitude"
It should be reversed ASAP.

Yes like if they could give a real reason listed in their sidebar that would be justifiable. Spam? Memes? whatever but not attitude.

So you agree that the ban was earned, but the reason doesn't sit right with you?
Take your concern trolling back to Reddit and /r/Politics

justifiable =/= justified. As it stands the ban is neither of these two things.
