Reddit Corruption?

Rhlax··0 votes·545 views

item 2043 I realized I have been shadowed banned on reddit. I'm not a spammer. So who banned me and why? For defending Riot and LOL? Feels like something fishing is going on there.

EDIT: I guess Riot can't do anything about it directly. I'm out. summoner 4 summoner 6

Make another account and get ahold of the reddit mods that way.

Why do you think that league reds have any say at reddit?

Good points.

Reddit is a hotbed for manipulation. Reds may not have any say, but they should be aware...

You can only get shadowbanned for breaking the big rules of reddit, and only a Reddit Staff Admin can perform a ban, not a Mod. Here are the reddit-wide rules that you can be shadowbanned for: http://www.reddit.com/rules

Also if you have never read the reddiquette for the site, these are all the expected behaviors of redditors. They will not necessarily get you punished for not following them, but it's a good guide nonetheless.

If you are concerned about your account and want more information as to why you were shadowbanned, you can contact the Reddit Admins here: http://www.reddit.com/contact

Specifically this link will send you to the form to contact the admins directly. If you think the shadowban was a mistake this would probably be the best course of action.

Thank you for your detailed reply.

I did contact moderators and sent a message to Admin.... before I got reply, I did feel a little guilty... as I did downvoted a lot of posts containing the word dota (in league sub). That could perhaps be the reason why I was banned.. Even though I still felt/feel innocent I actually deleted the account... I'm not sure if I will ever be part of the community again because I have lost trust in Reddit... They did me dirty by shadow banning me without telling what I did wrong. When there is no transparency there is always room for manipulation... For over 2 years, I enjoyed reddit... but I'm looking for alternatives now.
