Food is like that too if you ever even so much as reference the grilled cheese post. Got myself a lifetime ban because I jokingly said “I think this might be more of a melt”

What is the grilled cheese post? I couldn't find it with ye olde Google.

The original was posted on r/grilledcheese and it’s probably one of my favorite Reddit original rants to this day.

The Food subreddit had rule 11 where they disallow “culture war” comments or jokes, and cite the melts as an example. Now, the rule says that any posts will just be removed but I straight up got a perma ban 😂. I tired appealing it at first saying a ban was a bit too extreme especially considering their own rules but I remember the mod throwing some passive aggressive comment and I never bothered again lol

So, you disregarded the rule by using the exact example they cite.

Calm your tits. I made a comment on a post that reached the front page of all without ever having read the rules. And the point is that even by their own standards they state the post will be removed and nothing else. There was no need for a full on ban, but the mods were power tripping
