Reddit Forums Probably Worse Place to Be?

few months ago made a account with Reddit, made one wrong thread “first posted on the wrong section and I was instantly banned in that section, a notification from a single post, I think that is abit over doing it. Then later I made another different thread about something else many months later and that needs to be looked upon several hours before posted from mods, is it me or they are more strict than whirlpool and ozbargain.

    If it's a default subreddit then they are usually shit. The first thing you do when creating an account is un-sub from all the defaults.

    Most of the hobby community subreddits are very good. The main issue with those ones are the low-quality/low-effort posts that they all end up being cluttered with if the mods don't care.

    Without knowing at the content of the post in the wrong subreddit was, then no-one can really say the ban was justified or not. If you posted hard-core pornography in to /r/thomasthetankengine then an immediate ban would be appropriate.

      How about soft-core?

    To answer your question, it's dependent on each subreddit.

    Reddit essentially is a big pile of shit that you need to filter to get what you want.

      Aye that's it; when it's good it's good, when it's bad it's a pathetic, abysmal abomination, and you're embarrassed as hell at even being there to witness it.

    Make a remotely non left-wing comment and you'll be banned

  • It is very easy to be banned from a subreddit. Try posting that onions are okay in /r/onionhate

      try having a different opinion to the mods or admins here and you get in trouble

      neg a deal and get shot down, call mods admin out for being biased and get the same treatment.

      welcome to any online forum all opinions shall be the colour beige

      • obviously a mod or admin giving away the free neg's

    /Choosingbeggars sometimes reminds me of things I've read in comments here. Keeps me coming back.

      Love choosingbeggars but you do realise that 90% of it is deliberately misrepresented or complete fiction?

      • taken with a grain of salt (like everything posted/shared/remarked on the internet)

        • True but I take a few extra grains when it comes to outrage porn.

            @Cheaplikethebird: Reddit is such a waste of time.
            But i learned on there recently that picking your nose is a sign/response that you are bored, which is why we do it in transit.
            Seeing people /publicmeltdown or /watchmedieinside gives the relief I didn't know i needed

              @DarthAntz: Yeah lots of facts. Right now I’ve been enjoying the Aus politics reddit. Lots of entertainment there after the election for anyone who sits right of your average inner city uni student.

              • @Cheaplikethebird: I also found this time around that reddit was the easiest place to understand Australian politics around the election.
                Down the rabbit hole we go

    Better than FB groups in my experience. For all their trash talk of safe spaces Boomers have incredibly thin skin on the internet. They talk big when you’re debating something until you provide evidence that proves them wrong then all of a sudden it’s “If that’s the way I like to doing it then who cares, agree to disagree”.

      This is really true. Look at any NRL group on facebook and its trash. The NRL subreddit is a pretty good community.

      • If it’s anything like the AFL subreddit, unfortunately it seems all the FB users are making their way over and brining their angst.

    It would be nice if sometimes we had the same level of moderation here to get rid of some of the "this idea just popped in my head so I'll post it on ozbargain" posts.

    Oh and
    the posts that
    go something
    like this

    Reddit - you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

  • Reddit = what happens when you give people with no power in real life power in fake life… this is why we don't let just anybody become the head of a country because it would be Reddit.. oh wait

    I have never been an avid user of reddit but I have heard criticisms about Reddit lately, from people around me…

    Just watched this video right now https://youtu.be/0SQ-TJKPPIg

    I would really really love you guys to watch this. It is an eye opener.
