Banned for "rationalizing censorship." (self.ConservativeMeta)

bananastanding が 投稿

Oh boy. The irony is thick with this one. A couple hours ago I was banned by you know who for a post I made 3 days ago that was critical of the great god-king's tweet saying he won the popular vote. Here's the original comment and here is the PM he sent to me.

But here's the kicker: he made this comment just yesterday. According to his own made up rules, he deserves to be banned as well. I sent him the link to his comment. Haven't heard back. Will update if I do.

Edit: Here is the mod conversation in its entirety up until I was banned for 72 hours.

Well, there's no rule against "rationalizing censorship," so I'm not exactly sure what you were banned for. And since you weren't even doing that, it's especially hard to figure out.

And since you point out that a mod made an even more pointed comment regarding censorship, it makes absolutely no sense.

But then many people are banned for absolutely no reason (or at least no rational reason).

You could reply to the ban message, but I'm not sure I'd expect much to come from that.

I updated the post with a link to the conversation. You're right. Nothing came of it. Should have known better than to expect a rational response from someone who bans people who criticize Trump.

[–]miryslough 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, it's not a "shitpost" either. But that's the default I guess when they can't think an actual reason someone should be banned. It took a while for that justification to come around too.

[–]bananastanding[S] 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I guess that's the catchall. "Shitpost" just means anything they want it to mean.

As per u/Yosoff

Some mods are more strict than others.

So... yea, I don't know.

Oh, there were messages. I'll post then later when I'm off mobile and have time.

[–]tightfade 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (1子コメント)

here is the PM he sent to me.

I seriously thought I couldn't be surprised by chab anymore but this is fucking insane. He's mentally ill.

/u/TK-85 I know chab is your boy but you've got to let him go. He needs help.

[–]ForzaInter 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Safe space chab. Can we get that name to stick?

[–]DogfaceDinoFriedmanite 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

r/republican, ironically enough, tends to be a little more accepting of people being critical of the President-elect.

[–]miryslough 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The subs are a bit backwards in my opinion. r/Republican should be Party of Trump, while r/conservative the stalwarts. But, it's very much not that way.

[–]DanburyBaptist 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep. It all comes down to who the mods are.

[–]dawn_of_thyme 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Yeah, that dude banned me a week or two ago because during the election I called Trump a cheat (he went back probably 3 weeks of comments to find mine). I was referring to the lawsuit which Trump was being accused of not paying his employees/contractors. Because at the time of confrontation Trump had settled out of court, chabanais said it was as good as Trump being found innocent and that my comment was unfounded.

[–]bananastanding[S] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (5子コメント)

But did you hurt his feelings?

[–]dawn_of_thyme 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (4子コメント)

No, he actually PMd me to defend my comment and I thought I did well, but because he disagreed I can no longer comment on the conservative sub.

As I mentioned in the thread, if I care enough to contribute there in the future it will be on a different account.

[–]jaredlanny 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's no longer a conservative sub.

Chab's made damn sure that conservative voices that disagree with his are silenced.

[–]DildoShwaagins -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

So go post somewhere else. You don't get to walk into a Chinese restaurant and demand Italian food.

[–]jaredlanny 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, but I would expect them to serve Chinese food. And since the sub's name is, you know, conservative I'd expect conservative thought and behavior there, not dictatorial silencing of opposing viewpoints.

Can't see that link. You're going to have to screenshot it.

[–]tightfade 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's running out of people to ban in the present, so he's going back to the past.

[–]bananastanding[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (10子コメント)

/u/chabanais: If you'd like to defend yourself, we're all ears.

Chab, you're worse than all the liberals combined. We need to get you a Safe Space so that your feelings stop getting hurt you huge retarded faggot.

[–]chabanais 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Gee what a loss we can't enjoy your wit and wisdom on the main sub.

[–]tightfade 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm just insulting you in ways you understand. Would "libtard" be more to your liking?

[–]bananastanding[S] 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (5子コメント)

So you have no defense. I already knew that you didn't, but it's good for you to admit it.

[–]chabanais -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Your lack of comprehension should not be confused with me not having a "defense."

As I said earlier, feel free to refer to our earlier conversation and, if you are unable to understand the points made at that time, then I cannot help you. At the time, I had given you the opportunity to continue discussing this after your pause but I see at this time there is no point.

And, just so you know, had you not become combative I would have unbanned you as I did for someone last night who was banned:

This conversation has long since become unproductive so have a great life!

[–]tightfade 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And, just so you know, had you not become combative

WAAAAAH!

Jesus, what a little bitch.

[–]albinoeskimo 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's pathetic that you think people can't see through this.

Step 1: ban a user with no rules cited Step 2: be a total asshole Step 3: respond to their follow ups with obsufucation Step 4: pretend that the user was an asshole without provocation and that if they had just been reasonable, you would have happily lifted the ban.

[–]miryslough 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The only one combative in that exchange was you.

And you didn't even understand your own comment about censorship.

[–]bananastanding[S] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You are a generous god indeed.
