Yes

Downvote to disagree, upvote to agree

See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.

A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been 'it's the internet, it doesn't matter', and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren't supposed to do.

Permabans with no way to appeal are ridiculous.

And then to add that if you create a new account to get around a subreddit ban then that makes you eligible for a sitewide ban is even more ridiculous.

I got permabanned from r/pics a while back because under a generic Facebook photo of an interracial couple at their wedding somebody asked why it was posted there and I responded “Reddit loves interracial couples”. That was it. The irony is that my marriage is interracial.

I mean... Damn...even if I was a crazy strict conservative mod I couldn't imagine busting your balls on that .. I'd hassle you maybe about the generalizations of what Reddit loves at most

Small suggestion - Is it possible for you to pin this comment to the top of the comment feed? I missed the comment when I first looked to be honest

Ah fair. I'm sure it will come in time.

My only real concern is iOS app support but it's still early days.
