Re: nullc reddit account suspended 2/23/17 What's the story?
Reddit has an especially stupid policy on banning users. Admins go through reports by hand and biases can be very obvious. Reddit isn't open as to how many of their employed have the power to ban users but that number surely must have not grown proportionately to Reddit's growth through the years as the platform is not profitable.
Bans are not questioned and there's no appeal process. Reddit employees with ban powers can ban anyone at their will with nobody being able to question their decision. Witchunts often result unsubstantiated bans in Reddit as the lack of Reddit employees on a payroll just puts pressure on the few ones to keep the platform clean and the majority of users pleases, disregarding free speech.
Bitcoin users really need to move on another sort of forum in order to facilitate better discussions.

You go to war with the forum you have, not the forum you want.
We all knew in advance about Reddit's stupid arbitrary rules. Their site and their liability, therefore their TOS. DUH.
GMAX was already on double-secret probation, having been suspended for doxing/harassment/witch-hunting once before (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1704972.0).
There is an appeal process, which GMAX and Roger Ver have previously utilized for reinstatement. But this may be one toke over the line for Greg.
