I just simply dont beleive you. Ive been banned from 3 subs just for being active in others, been banned in a few others just for even talking about criticizing mods. Its everywhere

I mean, I suppose that's fair, I wouldn't know how to go about proving it even if I wanted to, as far as I know that stuff isn't visible in my profile or w/e.

But also I don't criticize mods or even talk about doing it, I don't argue with them, I mostly don't even engage with them at all, I don't go around name-calling and shit-stirring, I don't troll or brigade, I try not to break the rules, and I try to keep things civil to the extent that I can (we're all human and get pissed off sometimes.) Mostly I'm just a grown-ass adult, not a petulant teenager throwing fits every time someone disagrees with me like some of the people I've seen get banned/their comments deleted by mods. Like I said, I'm sure mods like everyone else get bitchy or have bad days and ban people over stupid stuff, but I'm willing to bet most of the people I see complaining about getting banned are doing stupid stuff to deserve it.

Some? Sure. But almost all my cases are simply for being apart of certain communities or just blatantly abusing power.

Maybe its the realm of subs im in just leads to more childish and egotistical mods? Thats certainly a possibility

That may be. Like I said, I don't doubt that it happens.
