**Optionally**, comment which community. I would like to know how common getting banned/suspended/blocked/kicked/etc. from some online community is. Also, if you have made some bad experiences with the moderation and/or administration of specific communities, feel free to share your story at /s/ModAbuse in order to warn the rest of us infront of their hostility.

No (at least not yet)
Yes, already happened.

Yup twitter, amazon, paypal. List goes on for a while.

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

PayPal? How did that happen? Also, have you tried using Stripe? And if so, did you get banned from there as well? Simply curious.

[–] • 3 pts

Paypal was pretty early I honestly don't even remember the reason. I have looked at stripe but currently my main methods are square crypto and subscribestar.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts (edited )

Smart of you to use payment options and services other than PayPal and Stripe. Constant deplatforming of others by payment processors has been a major concern for me, especially considering how much it's happened these past couple of years. Although I have wanted to be able to process credit and debit card payments on my own (especially for Sandia Mesa), I realize how difficult such a task would be considering what it's like to try to do it nowadays with all the rules and regulations in place (unless it is relatively easy to do while complying with rules and regulations and I'm simply being too nervous about it).

amazon

What went wrong there?

How does one get banned from Amazon?

[–] • 5 pts

Start a free speech platform and use your email account from said platform to register an amazon account in retrospect it was a stupid thing to do but I did it and wow they did not like that.

[–] • 2 pts

Wow, so they banned your Amazon account just because the email address ended with “.co” and not because of any actions?

What a hostile hidden policy Amazon has.

[–] • 4 pts

All but here and phuks. Free speech comes with terms and conditions. I like to poke and sometimes to get them riled up. But they have never deleted anything of mine

[–] • 3 pts

phuks

You haven't ever posted on :D

[–] • 3 pts

No but I spam their chat. I've posted a few things

[–] • 3 pts

All

Also Voat?

If so, then for what?

[–] • 4 pts

I like to be contrary. I got into it with fake nazis and they spammed my account, reported me for stupid shit. One day I couldn't log anymore. I think the amount was Its been 3 years so account name might be wrong

[–] • 3 pts

I think the amount was Its been 3 years so account name might be wrong

If it was right, Voat apparently hides suspended accounts entirely.

[–] • 3 pts

YOU DO NOT!

[–] • 2 pts

I poke you to try and get you riled up sometimes too but I don't think it works.

[–] • 3 pts

He likes the way you poke!

[–] • 3 pts

I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

[–] • 2 pts

Im immune. I've been poked to much. Yahoo chat in the 90s made me immune

[–] • 3 pts

Yahoo had a chat?

Someone I know around here once banned me from a Voat sub..

Actually, two people from here have banned me from a Voat sub.

Both were uneccessary, baseless bans.

[–] • 2 pts

For which alleged reason?

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

They say spam/troll account, because I had said something a mod disagrees with, or expressed an unpopular opinion, or combination of both.

[–] • 2 pts

You are not alone.

If you ever see hostile moderators somewhere on the internet, share it on so we can be warned.

Reddit and Voat (specifically preview voat)

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Yep. For Sandia Mesa, we were banned from Vidme in 2017 and from Mastodon.social in 2019.

Personally, I was kicked from r/Vidme in 2017.

[–] • 1 pt

I was kicked from r/Vidme in 2017.

What were you kicked for?

Because they identified you as banned user on Vid.me (the platform itself)?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Because I made a post calling them out for unverifying Sandia Mesa without notice on that subreddit.

[–] • 1 pt

I see.

That's very hostile. They acted wrongly.

If you see something like that ever happening again,

[–] • 1 pt

I have already heard about the unprofessional message you got from Mastodon.

That's so terrible.

I wonder why VidMe, a supposedly freer speech platform than YouTube, would ban politically incorrect cartoons.

Feel free to share that story on .

Many suspensions on reddit subs, a suspension on foxnews (for naming the Jews), and a few troll accounts on Twitter got banned.

[–] • 1 pt

I've been banned from 4chan a couple of times, for doing context relevant porn dumps, and once for calling Orcs niggers (since when was that bannable?!). But I don't really count those.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

This one time on Twitter I got banned for threatening to turn Seth Rogen into a bar of soap. They said I couldn't start any new accounts but I already had 4 or 5 others.

I say it can be very common. With local communities, there are hidden agendas like promoting certain shops and not mentioning others in a good light. Then you have the abundant SJW types who ruin everything and demand that other opinions are silenced for good; these types are very manipulative and can't take it that not everyone agrees with them.

With larger communities like fb and reddit, basically you are out the moment you criticize certain groups.

[–] • 1 pt

hidden agendas

Indeed.

A hidden policy on Reddit is:

Never ever criticize a powermod! Admins will side with them, even if they have done something wrong.

I got banned for criticizing corrupt powermod Ani625.

[–] • 1 pt

I had to check that out. There's no way that vile person is not a reddit employee or a paid shill.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Nope. I tend to notice the signs of places becoming shit pretty early and go elsewhere before banning becomes an issue.

signs of places becoming shit pretty early

Which websites, for example?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Well, Reddit for one, obviously.

[–] • 0 pt

When did Reddit start getting shitty?

[–] • 1 pt

Over on Reddit, I've been banned from at least one sub and got suspended from time to time from others, over some stupid rule or another. Anywho, after how the administrators treated /r/the_donald, I've deleted my account on Reddit, and haven't looked back.

[–] • 0 pt

Ah, so getting knocked off subreddits isn't uncommon.

I got kicked from /r/AppleSucks for no reason by .

[–] • 1 pt

I got knocked off of one of the revenge subs. Something about linking to other subs. Another time I got suspended from the raised by narcissist sub because multiple people misread what I had typed, and thought that I was giving bad advice; despite explaining my statement, they kept the suspension.

Between that mess and the mess caused by the admins with how they were treating the_donald, I decided to leave it altogether, before they banned me from the entire site.

Although I would not actually have erased my account (I got banned anyway for criticizing Ani625), I respect your decision.
