Reddit moderators need to be stopped | Ashlan's blog
ashlan.comToday, I submitted an article I wrote The world needs more non-profit tech companies to /r/technology on Reddit. You can read the article if you're interested but there's nothing particular controversial with in the article. The article got some conversation going but a little bit later, I was banned from submitting from /r/technology.
I replied to the message about my ban and have yet to get a response. I've read the Reddit Content Policy and don't see anything that I've violated. Are Reddit moderators just banning people at will? Is Reddit not interested in blog posts about technology anymore? This puts a scour taste in my mouth and makes me think twice submitting links to Reddit going forward. Maybe its time to become a lurker again.
I mean, there are a lot of problems with Reddit moderation, but not reading the rules before submitting and getting banned for ignoring them shouldn’t be surprising. It certainly shouldn’t have been a permanent ban and it should have included an explanation as to why they were banned.
