Yeah, tell me about it. Unintentionally Reposting something should not get the user permanently banned, a temporarily ban is more fair.

I got permanently banned for accidentally and unintentionally reposting something that was posted there before. I was a longtime member of that subreddit too! I got unfairly banned for a simple mistake. I tried to talk to the mods but they didn’t respond

    Reddit mods are basically in the belief that they're Mao Zedong. When I created and ran a subreddit /r/treecomics way back in the day, I got accused of being too light on reposts. Like if it was within a couple days I would just remove it. Unless someone was constantly doing it, there's no harm. Lighten the fuck up people.

    So glad I'm permabanned for saying that neonazis in my city should learn how to bite a curb.

    Yeah, same here. Some mods have let that power go to their heads. They permanently ban people who accidentally repost too early, people that have a different opinion about something and many others who didn’t do anything wrong.
