I went back to test my reddit account. I wanted to respond to the mod that had me banned. I was never disrespectful. I simply complained about
her condescending attitude, her verbally abusing posters and telling every 3rd poster to "grow up". I find that I have been "banned" in one of the sneakiest
cowardly ways. I can still post, however only I can see them. Instead of being up front and actually banning me, they apparently want to avoid being
honest. If my wife or friends try to view any of my posts from their accounts, they cannot do so. reddit could at least be honest about a ban.
I went from being a "good" redditor with over 5000 comment karma, 831 link karma and several "golds", just for politely challenging the "wrong" moderator.
So what is reddit? It cannot be a public forum if it tightly controls posts in disingenuous ways. Mind you I NEVER posted anything offensive or even a little
bit disrespectful to anyone. So what is reddit? Are they just attempting to set the site up as a marketing site? Was that the mission statement all along?
Was I just an idiot for taking 2 years to find that out? Reddit is misrepresenting itself and getting worse by the month.

i ran an auto edit-then-delete script. i had problems running it on 1+ pages at a time (via autopage loader plugins) so i did it in batches.
at first things went normal.
then, after a while, instead of seeing just the standard "i'm leaving reddit for voat.co because of the blatant favouritism etc" comment replace my previous, actual comments, additional text appeared beneath each deleted (replaced) comment. it said "Original text:" followed by (you guessed it) the original text. i could still delete this original text btw but it was a definite difference and implies that they are now keeping versions of all comments.

Make sure you are not running Reddit Overwrite Extended Edit Only rather than Reddit Overwrite Extended.
