When I was unreasonably banned from Reddit, I was forced to appeal (reddit.com) the ban using just 250 characters, shorter than the maximum tweet length (280).

One is forced to formally explain something to some biased administrators using just 250 characters.

I know, they might have many ban appeals to review, but 250 characters are ridiculously low.

Why 250?

‘Didnt do nuffing’ is only like 5.

Dependent on skin tone... yes.

How are they supposed to know the skin tone of the user?
And which skin tone is likelier to get unsuspended?

Why Reddit can not be trusted.

In November 2016, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (/u/spez) (old.reddit.com) edited comments of users criticizing him. (theverge.com)

Putting words into user's mouths, which means making them appear like they wrote something they never actually did, especially on sensitive posts, is one of the greatest violations of user trust possible.

Although shortly after he applogized and promised never to do it again, it clearly gives away how Reddit tends to handle criticism.
