Well you associated with an entire team that did, you have to admit that it makes you look pretty bad.

Guilt by association? You're better than that, Laurie.

Im explaining how the reddit admins saw it.

Scopolamina  ·  4327 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Look - I asked those two guys "man to man" if they ever actually accepted payments. They told me no. I have no reason to not believe what they're telling me and again, I could never find anything in the mod logs that supported what they were saying. I went back through 2 months of mod log info and never even found one link that SpackSack supposedly approved and only 3 mod actions TOTAL.

The whole thing is just bullshit. The bigger the lie, the more people believe - and there's more than enough evidence to say that admins consistently lie about why prominent users have been banned.

My thing is ive made more trouble for the reddit admins than anyone on the site period and they have yet to shadowban me, in fact i think i have some kind of record for getting other people banned. You know why? I follow the rules. To the letter. Yes im a colossal pain in the ass for certain groups of people, but I do it within reddits rules. Oh and I always watch my mod teams like a hawk. A mix of e-lawyer and paranoia keeps you from getting banned.

Except for the fact that users can be banned for "causing too much drama" according to dacvak and I'd say you've raised enough drama to warrant a ban.

Are you referring to the PIMA banning here?

Scopolamina  ·  4327 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yup

LowSociety  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Didn't the admins give a vague statement about rule-breaking in that case too? Something about them having "investigated" the account and found reasons for a ban?

The drama posts seemed to have set that investigation off, though.

They also accused him of posting pictures of underage girls which is absolute bullshit. Admins simply make up any lie that suits their needs.

LowSociety  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, I don't know. Personally I don't like PIMA but that's just me.

I'm listening to the DailyDot conversation on Liveleak right now and if you want my advice, you should keep pushing on the fact that you've prevented CP from being posted.

Scopolamina  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

The fact is the PIMA and violenta both fought battles that I didn't agree with that resulted in their eventual departure from Reddit. This does not negate the fact that they were both excellent moderators who did a lot for Reddit.

LowSociety  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I agree. My dislike for them is only personal.

When was the DailyDot conversation recorded? That user you said you guys reported multiple times seems to have been banned.

Scopolamina  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

This afternoon. The removal of /u/MrSnakeX must have been recent because when I checked the other day the account was still up. The thing is, the links he posted are still active if you search his name which means all of his posts are still active: http://www.reddit.com/r/all/search?q=mrsnakex

LowSociety  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

According to the guy you were talking to the account was up during your conversation. I guess the admins are listening to it as well?

Scopolamina  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Lol no of course not. He just searched the name in the search bar which is what that URL I sent you was.

LowSociety  ·  4326 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh, my mistake then.

Laurelai  ·  4327 days ago  ·  link  ·  

And yet im not banned.

Scopolamina  ·  4327 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Can't explain that.
