Mods at reddit banned me, and shadowbanned my new account. They are censoring us over at /r/conspiracy (pizzagate)

submitted ago by djklbd

The other day I made a post on /conspriacy titled A message to the pizzagate deniers that made it to the front page. Hours later, i was banned permanently from the sub.

I had been posting on /r/conspiracy for years, and the mods threw 3 strikes at me for "personal attacks" in a span of less than 10 days. They are arbitrarily using personal attacks as a way to ban members who discuss pizzagate on /r/conspiracy. I'm just posting this to raise awareness of what is happening over there.

I did my best to try and oust the shills, and luckily Pizzagate stuff still seems to dominate the front page over there, we are still openly discussing it, despite the army of CTR that has infiltrated the sub.

Like I said, I'm just posting this to raise awareness of what is happening over there. We are doing something right, or they wouldn't be trying to censor us. Guess i'll just be primarily on Voat from now on.

You have only yourself to blame for still being using Reddit after all that happened over the last few weeks. That's what you get for closing your eyes about censorship.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I've been on voat since r/rpizzagate shut down, but i've also been posting on /r/ conspiracy. Whats wrong with taking advantage of both platforms to reach a larger audience?

There is nothing wrong with it. The people who want us to ignore reddit's audience don't realize (or they do, because they are shills) they are falling precisely for divide and conquer tactics. From my comment here (https://www.reddit.com/r/C_S_T/comments/5idzes/fuck_this_website_im_done/)::)

Divide and conquer.

They've separated us into little boxes and thusly, people have compartmentalized themselves amongst each other...unable to see the forest for the trees...

Don't get separated into yet another box. Also, might I ask which mods banned you, if you know? You don't have to reply with their full names...I'm familiar with them.

Ok let me see if I can dig the guys' name up. And great post by the way, I agree with you.

EDIT: Guys name is "sabramesh". Thanks to whoever posted this thread on /r/conspiracy for me.

He must be on here, becuse he posted this today:

For the record /u/djklbd was banned for repeatedly calling other users who didn't share his views about pizzagate, "pedophiles" and "idiots" (Rule 4) and he also called several PG dissenters "shills" (Rule 10). He doesn't fit the normal profile of a banned user because he posted some good content, but this is good demonstration that even if your heart is in the right place, if you repeatedly abuse other users on this sub, the mods will lose patience with you. Furthermore, reddit site rules stipulate that if a user has been banned from a sub, they are not allowed to simply create a new username and start posting the same stuff to the same sub. This is known as ban evasion and the admins can and will block your IP address if you try it. Finally, if a mod bans you on /r/conspiracy, you have a right of appeal to the mod team as a whole. If you have previously demonstrated that you offer something of value to the sub, and you make your case reasonably, you will get a fair hearing. Thus far /u/djklbd has not bothered to do this, despite me telling him earlier that this option is available to him.

Is there anyway an appeal would be possible? Would anything come from it?

I mean, yes, I would still try to appeal if I were you. You simply shouldn't slander other users without proof that they are pedophiles or whatever. It's disingenuous and as a whole, will detract from your argument. People will be less likely to believe you if you come across as a name-caller. That's all. There are ways to make your argument without losing your head.

I feel you, and I actually did get it reduced to a 7 day ban thankfully.
