Reddit Admin suspended 100's if not 1000's of users because they voted on a thread PizzaGate-related, was it Spez? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by PizzaGateExpress

Here's my previous post about how many many users were suspended (at least 100's if not 1000's) for simply voting on a reddit post (that was PizzaGate-related): https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1473492

People who were suspended received one or two messages informing them that they are being suspended for 3 days early in the morning on Friday

Here's a reddit post about suspensions: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/3sbrro/account_suspensions_a_transparent_alternative_to/

It says that only Admins can suspend users for breaking the rules (here's a list of all reddit admins)

I have a strong suspicion that this was spez, as he was exposed by r/The_Donald and r/PizzaGate.

Once the suspension is lifted I urge you to write to moderators or make posts addressing this (r/conspiracy or r/the_Donald maybe).

Reddit must be feeling pretty confident about their market position to suspend so many people over something so small. I got banned because I followed the voat link, didn't vote but made three comments.

They really need to just get some balls and programmatically stop participation in threads they decide to hide. It's complete bullshit offering a website with discussion forums, tracking referrer tags but allowing the behavior and banning after the fact.

They want to be a heavy handed censor, do it in the open and watch people leave.
