    On the day of the AMA, I edited all my comments to fuck u/spez, and a r/selfawarewolves mod banned me for “spamming”.

    Then I complained out of spite and got unbanned immediately, but the mod reminded me how “irresponsible it was of me to put the crosshairs on them”.

      That’s the only sub I was ever banned from, and I was banned twice. First time the mod said my comment didn’t fit my history and asked if it was a joke. I was unbanned when I replied it was, indeed, a joke. Second time was more or less the same thing. Banned for trolling.

      I used to comment on many subs, and I would sometimes write something sarcastically without the /s. Just depended on my mood in the moment. I unsubbed because I knew there was no way I wouldn’t just break the rule again. Also, I didn’t want to read a sub I was banned on because I would forget and likely waste my time composing a comment that would be rejected.

      They’re now deleting and shadow banning all such comments.

      Do something to get past the filter such as “Fuk Spz”

      Have a loot through the character map for Unicode letters that look like each letter. If they want to censor people, make those bastards work for it.

    I’m sure the admins are so harassed.

    “I see it everywhere… I’m walking down the street… I see it in my home… I see it at work… I see it in my dreams… I’m being told people don’t like me… It’s a little death…”

    I think the way to go with editing comments is to just make subtle changes like breaking links, rewording informational posts to be wrong but plausible, etc. “Fuck spez!” is too easy to avoid/censor. What will really hurt reddit is if people learn a link to information on reddit is very likely to be false/misleading.

    Urgh, disappointing from what was one of my favourite subs.
