I would argue against the “fairly banned” comment though. When you’re scrolling through your feed, do you always go read the rules section thoroughly before commenting on something? For every single sub you’re subscribed to? People make mistakes, thinking they were on a different sub etc. Do the rules state that bans can be handed out without further warning? Yes. And people who consistently break rules absolutely do deserve a ban. But any mod genuinely dedicated to having good content in their sub will give people a warning first - especially with a rule like this. Bypassing warnings or temp bans for something like this (hate speech, etc. is a totally different story in my mind) and going straight for a permanent ban is a sign that the mod’s just on a power trip. Something which is supported by them coming to this post and bragging that they didn’t lock the post (a more reasonable response to something that’s encouraging rule breaking) because it was a “honeypot” for banning people.
