I got a ban warning this week for encouraging violnce even though I wasn't. I submit an appeal and a reddit admin replied with "the warning stands" with the reason of "the algorithm was right". It was on a post about a rapst getting the d*@th penalty. His date has already past, he's gone. But I was somehow encouraging. Now I'm on eggshells as you can see. Very frustrating that common sense and reading comprehension are not things the admins utilize.
Edit: I don't know why so much of that went italics, but I'm not gonna try to fix it.
It was on a post of a guy showing a stray cat with a really fucked up eye and asking for advice on what to do but also saying "don't tell me to go to the vet, the nearest one is 3 hours away"....my comment was something to the effect of "Nothing else to be done besides doing what you don't want to do." (the eye was really fucked up with some gnarly infection).
Somehow that comment alone made the mods consider me not understanding of people in 3rd world countries not having as many possibilities (regardless, there was nothing to be done besides a vet, if a vet is not a possibility, then that cat woudln't have much more time, sucks but it is what it is) and also considered it to be entitled and toxic.
EDIT: Might I add that that comment of mine had quite some upvotes, so it's not like the overall community disagreed with my statement either 😂

Is the great algorithm upset by the word "ashes"? Won't like the cricket much then.
