Why did you ban me?

We've been doing some Spring cleaning and banning users left and right who repeatedly cause problems.

Here are some of the red flags for us that may cause us to ban a user and possibly delete all of their comments.

- Racial slurs. 1 strike and you're out. We won't issue warnings.
- You have a very low user rating like -10.
- Multiple users report your posts.
- You go around the language filters by replacing letters with numbers, characters, spaces, etc.
- When we go review a reported post we usually check out your existing comments.
- If there is a trend where we see rude comments than productive one we'll just delete them all.

The vast majority of our users post great comments and we appreciate it. Unfortunately there are always a few rotten eggs who try to spoil the fun.

We really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to report bad comments. Keep them coming!
