Subjective bannings for broad rules. You'd understand if you got caught in a poorly written algorithm used to quickly ban users.
That is one of Voats problems with non-system subs. These subs have poorly defined rules and the rules that exist are administered unfairly and inconsistently. I have pinged Putt many times on this and said that he needs to make mods improve in this are or it will just be Reddit 2.0 or worse.
One thing Putt is working on is a system that will allow users to boot a mod if they don't like the way a sub is run. The code is complete and in testing, but I don't know when it will be released to production.
I was speaking about Putt himself and the global rules. But your point about private subs being prone to mod abuse without any accountability is also very true.
You may have noticed I never mentioned him. Cause he is only a pseudo ruler..
I believe the global rules are pretty wide open on system subs. Is there a specific case where they were not?
I did. I messaged Putt and he reversed my ban with an apology.
And in his post when he reversed the bans he said there needed to be an appeals process for bans, it's been two months and nothing has happened and no rules have been updated, I still don't know what super secret rule I broke to get my ban.
