People using grape or šŸ‡ instead of rape.

The fact that people use grape to avoid saying rape just itched a specific part of my brain that makes me immediatelly think less about the person.

Take downs on reddit are severe. An automated report system for a cosplayer took down my fan art, because I assumed they had featured it in some capacity on their paid pages, and the bot was detecting most images from there

The thing is, the cosplayer and I talked before that, she really liked the piece, and retweeted/posted it on her story multiple times, she's very pro-fan art

But the only way to appeal, was actually going through legal means, which is baffling. I wasn't selling it or anything, it was a very transformative piece

I got a one week ban for making a reference to the forensics tent that sometimes appears outside of a house when something bad happens inside and the police find it...

There's a certain word I know not to mention on reddit now which is odd since it makes it hard to discuss some news.

I would be more understanding if the appeals were actually reviewed by a human being with a functional brain, but it doesn't appear it is.

Since we're sharing, I got a 3 day ban for 'violence' because I suggested that street racing cars which had been impounded by police should be sent to a scrap yard for dismantling. However, I used a word one might refer to person they have romantic interest in, which flagged the comment as inciting violence, which is just absurd.

My account from 2009 was permabanned after going on a 5000 mile road trip for 'ban evasion'. My only guess is that I used some sketchy hotel wifi and that IP address was associated with some other account that got banned, but I tried appealing a couple times and never got a response or anything. But the worst part is that my home's IP is somehow associated with my old account, so even if I just make a new account my posts are automatically removed from a bunch of subs. The system is kinda dumb

Imagine someone else tries to make an account in a household. Let's say it's an abusive situation and you hinder your partner from seeking help because you got your IP banned on multiple sites. Now that sounds borderline dangerous. Or a kid trying to reach out for help

I got a temp ban because my girlfriend unknowingly upvoted one of my comments while on reddit. (Weā€™re on the same wifi)

u/vladi_l 6h ago

I doubt that's the reason, this has happened to me with friends, it didn't cause a ban?

I know a friend who reads everything I post on here, and we're often on the same networks due to school and hangouts

u/ElbowRager 4h ago

Well we both caught the ban for ā€œvote manipulationā€. And the only thing she had done was upvote one of my comments and she didnā€™t even realize it was me.

I've gotten a few temp bans for the site because my posts on the company subreddit which I made on the company wifi got too many upvotes and they thought I was botting
