      Mods can ban you from communities, cancel any of your posts, delete any of your comments. That’s about it.

      The trouble is that people are unfairly banned from subs they have followed and contributed to for years and there is no appeal other than begging the guy who just maliciously kicked you out

      That’s not counting mods who are also admins and mods who are good friends with an admin. You can get a site wide ban for saying the wrong thing in front of one of them

      You’re arguing in bad faith. No one is arguing that the mods aren’t violating the rules of the site. You’re clinging to that fig leaf that no one is arguing about. The real discussion is whether unelected mods should ever have that much power over such influential public forums in the first place.

      In other words, you’re acting exactly like a reddit mod. Good job.

        You mocked me for hiding behind the rules of the site (which I didn’t), then when I said I didn’t you shifted gears into defending against some other accusation I didn’t make? I cannot follow your logic.

        No, a person claimed that they were IP banned for no good reason by a reddit mod. I said that is not possible. That’s the discussion.

        You may act like I am behaving like mod but at least I have enough self-respect to not want to visit that shithole site after they so clearly showed how much they disdain they harbor for their own users. I can’t imagine being so butt hurt over a ban. Grow up.
