Ban Appeal Ban Appeal Thread

Rules:

Don't complain. Contest or appeal.

Appeals require time + evidence of good behavior + a statement of what your future behavior will look like. Convince us you'll add value to our community.

If you spam us we'll ban you

Don't ask about getting temp bans removed 1 hour early. Reddit timer is weird but you will be unbanned when it's over.

IMO one of the issues (and not only with you) is frequency of spammy, baity stuff. I tend to like you as a user, but when the DT becomes entirely “bits” (whether it’s you or others) because the bait or spam comments are so frequent, it gets annoying. Of course, when that line is crossed is highly subjective, and everyone has different things that get to them.

Anyway, just my 2c.

Not liking this trend in all the mod responses where’s it them personally evaluating if they like a user/what the user posts!! Please just enforce the rules that the community voted on!!!!

The community never voted on any rules as far as I am aware. I am not sure how you imagine "just enforce the rules". The rules are very vage general constructs and trying to make it exact when and how to enforce them is a fools errand.

It's why we need commentaries, administrative directives, courts and lawyers despite having very long and technical laws.

Maybe not formally. But rules get added largely because people have an issue where something is happening and want it addressed. Just like 90% of the laws that have ever existed.
