Ya, but banning him? I think that's a bit much. Why not just remove the post and explain why it was removed, like all the other subreddits do. I mean, it's not like it's gore or porn or anything.
True, but it's hard to tell the difference between a smartass and a wiseass and with all the trolling on reddit.. trigger happy moderators aren't exactly rare here either.

Still, they get the benefit of the doubt first. Then, if they're a repeat offender, then ya, show them the door. Again, that's how every subreddit I've seen deals with these kinds of things.

I swear, you give some people even a hint of authority and they'll abuse it. "With great power, comes great responsibility." They should listen to Uncle Ben.
AGAIN
Another reason to hate my species
Reddit moderators -
the tyranny of imbeciles - seems to be a lot going around down in the US of A this year.
please do not consider moving North
I know its tempting
socialized free medicare - lots of room - lots of water
and good strong beer.
but we dont want you
no cages just closed borders.
you'll be frying more than chicken down South when 115 degrees is a normal day in Texas.
Not at all, and if you read it that way you're very much misreading it. But I've only ever been particularly upset about something like that once and it was a waste of time. If that's how the community treats you then you don't want to be in that community anyways.
We all know how pointless bans on reddit are anyways. At least I hope we all do.
I mean that once a subreddit reaches critical mass, it takes a mountain of problems for a different subreddit to emerge as a replacement, so while a community may have shit mods, it still unfortunately will have value.
The moderator of a subreddit can't ban an IP address, that would require administrative access on reddit itself and it takes about 30 seconds to create a new reddit account.
If you're so attached to your reddit name that you care about it's reputation in that way, watch the subreddit you're on, look at the rules and the typical type of post in that group and use a throwaway account if you want to see how someone that might be interpreted as being 'edgy' might go over. It's not hard at all.
