Mods of default subs should have to justify censorship much more strongly than non-defaults. The posts in question were gaming related; mocking faggots that are ruining gaming as a hobby is relevant content.
The mod was out of order, and his unverified justification of "talking to a few regulars" is insufficient for the action taken.
Sure, you're completely right principally speaking. But you have to concede that this is the same group, yet again, that always stirs up trouble for the sake of doing so. SBBH.
They push the limits like this just for fun, like hackers poking software for vulnerabilities. I can't understand why we so frequently entertain the instigators like we do.
Because letting them be the bad guy is the only way they lose. Banning them unfairly only validates everything they rabble rouse about. Letting them speak just lets them annoy a few people and bury themselves in downvotes.

Actually there is nowhere on the site that says @system subs all have to follow the same rules. Aside from that, the user in question was deliberately trying to get banned and caused an over-reaction when she got what she wanted.

The user was out of order and I doubt that mod even wanted to have to deal with SBBH. Otherwise @Kaydnce would have perm banned them the first time instead of a 24 hour temp ban for spamming memes and low-quality posts and chan memes.
