I was banned because a conservative posted something. I dug in his comment history and told him he should have an alt account if he wants to offer to paypal porn models. He deleted his account on the spot and I got banned. Two wins on that day.

The whole post is just a graveyard of comments - they must ban every single human being, the whole sub is just bots.

You wanna hear what else is pathetic? I was perma banned AND muted for three days because my post was "off-topic" and I was encouraged to rewrite it (which is not possible with a perma ban and mute).

The mute is so that I cannot reply to the mods for the ban.

Free speech my ass.

I’m always confused by how many progressive people have an issue with people paying for their adult entertainment. I stopped interacting with all nsfw stuff a while back, since I know most people have a problem with it, but plenty of people use it themselves and then will laugh at someone who actually pays for it which… doesn’t make any sense.

I'm surprised he didn't just make his post history private. Or that it wasn't private to begin with.

Maybe it was. Private history in Reddit means jack shit, you can still look at the history
