/r/TwoXChromosomes "proactively" banning again

280    19 May 2017 18:52 by u/bullseyed723

After posting a bit on /r/destiny and /r/nfl today, suddenly was notified of a ban on /r/TwoXChromosomes. Seems one of their power tripping mods is off banning folks they disagree with on video game or football subjects. Clear violation of the new community policy as well. https://www.reddit.com/help/healthycommunities/

TwoXChromosomes!? What kind of transphobic name is that!?
63
This is serious shit if true, but to be honest it's still just your word, got prints?
31
Screenshot of the message? Sure. Even informed the mod via reply of their violation of the site rules. Lemme figure out how to post it. http://imgur.com/a/lc6Fd

Woah woah wait. Its against reddits rules to ban people because they posted from other subs? Then why isnt every sub that bans people for being on the_donald, KIA, etc. Left alone?
63
because the admins support the antitrump faction.
16
I don't think we have 'admins' anymore in the classic sense, they're all being brainwashed and/or plied with drugs while David Brock runs the fucking site

As far as I know, you can ban people who have never posted in your sub. Reddit just won't send them a notification about it. So what the mod was saying is that since he got a notification, he has posted in that sub before though it may have been years ago.
13
It's a new rule and not retroactive.
9
Well if that is the rule, then this is not retroactive. If they are just now banning people this is pretty current and applies the current rules.
9
Yeah I know it's not retroactive. I'm the OP.
2
You got the ban today. Retro anything shouldn't matter. It was after the rules were put in place

I have a reply button over there, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I click it. I guess they just got rid of default subs, but didn't they just make 2X a default? Anyway, I don't think default subs should be able to ban anyone for any reason.
2
Hmm... I wonder. I've never posted there either, curious as to whether or not they'll ban me.
3
it's a very recent rule. like 9 days. it was announced a few months ago i think.
1
Same shit happened to me.

It's not Overwatch. You are on this list which was made like a year ago: http://archive.is/gCwNp
43
Hahaha that's mental! So because I commented on *one* thread on t_d (to tell them how stupid the thread was) I'm banned from this other sub I've never even visited? Hilarious.
59
You literally raped them by posting in t_d.
45
Also very against the rules.
18
admins don't seem to care
2
2x has two admins as mods...
9
You aren't missing anything but the possible satisfaction of telling someone they are insane (which would have gotten you banned anyhow).
15
I posted once in t_d. They banned me for that. So now apparently 2x has as well.
6
I got the ban notice too, then a follow up notice. I think I answered something on the Donald once or twice. Never a follower or subscribed
6
I actually haven't been banned. What's strange is that usually only fringe subreddits do mass bans. TwoX is a default sub.
7
I browsed it for a bit because I got a ban for an unknown reason and it's a default but it's full of toxic infighting, looks cliquey, bans appear to be left and right and it looks like it can come from any small thing to include but not limited to hurting a fat girls feelings in an unrelated sub, so basically it's name fits what you would think it would be....a bunch of women overreacting and no one paying attention
2
I posted once there to, so far my ban has not come
4
I got banned from /r/offmychest a year ago for replying to something on /r/CringeAnarchy
2
I think they had banned me to for posting elsewhere Yeah I was banned from that sub because I posted in a subbreddit the mods hate. It was /r/imgoingtohellforthis
35
holy shit, my nickname is on that list too, I maybe commented on t_d like 1-2 times before, probably for the meme posts when they would hit /r/all everyday. So I am a Trump supporter now lmfao. I don't even live in US, nor do I give a fuck about US politics.
6
They don't care.. if you have ANY post or ANY comment on TD you are banned on 2x... and a bunch of other subs, amiright?
7
I'm not on that list, but I was just banned. I'm not American.
8
I voted for Hillary and Twox still banned me
3
My username isn't here and I was banned yesterday too. Are there other lists? I haven't posted on 2X in more than 6 months. I asked them what the ban was for and got a generated message apologizing that I wasn't notified that I was banned when it happened. No explanation for the ban; there clearly isn't one. It's not a big deal, and then again it is cause thought policing will soon get us all banned from everywhere.
1
it's a fucking hit list !
8
Also banned, no info as to why ATM. I think I was actually banned awhile ago and I'm only being informed now, if I understood the mod's reply correctly.
12
That's a lie to get around the rules.
3
It actually sounds like they converted their AutoMod autoremoval ("AutoMod" Shadowbans) and converted to real bans. They added a likely bot 1-2 days agos that likely did just that.
5
that should be against the rules. I don't think im asking much.
11
>I think I was actually banned awhile ago and I'm only being informed now, if I understood the mod's reply correctly. That's wrong. You only get a message when you are banned, not at any point later. They are going to justify mass banning by making vague references to people having done something in the past to get on some ban list, and just now they suddenly ban everyone. They will refuse to tell you why. This is just the act of sociopaths to manipulate and obfuscate what they do, pretending they are following the rules, whilst denying you the information to verify that.
2
Sounds like they converted their AutoMod autoremoval ("AutoMod" Shadowbans) and converted to real bans. Edit: Yep, they added a bot that likely did that.
6
> I think I was actually banned awhile ago and I'm only being informed now, You get a notification message immediately when a ban is issued, actually If you run a small sub with any of your friends you can ban them, unban them immediately, and they'll still receive a message saying they're permanently banned. Pretty good for pranks if you're into that.
9
I got banned for KiA i think. hard to tell, they're ignoring me. I'd let the Reddit admins know.
6
> hard to tell, they're ignoring me. Well given that they potentially banned tens of thousands of accounts in a short period of time I doubt they're even able to read all the PM replies they're getting
8
they've got a bot that just tells you to fuck off.
3
Well, at least they're efficient
8
Was also just banned. I haven't posted there in over a week, and still have over 1000 karma there. So not sure what exactly their criteria is. I just searched to see who else was banned since their message implied they were banning more than just me. Edit: I directly contacted a couple mods directly. I'll let you know what their reply to me is, if it is just one mod acting on their own this will probably be more effective than shouting back at them.
7
Have you ever posted on t_d? Even in criticism?
13
Oh yeah, I was banned from there before October.
15
You're on the same list that most of the other people here are on. Looks like if you posted on T_D sometime before June of last year you got branded by some Trumpy browser extension and were probably shadow banned from their sub via the automoderator. Now I think they are turning the shadow bans into actual bans.
5
I've posted on there and had conversations all year so I don't think I was shadow banned. As a side note... if it's anyone who posted before a certain point that strikes me as... frankly insane. Most of the early posters were parody. It was a joke, and he was literally a clown we were laughing at. Are you sure it's only banning people who posted before a certain point?
9
If you look at my other posts, I posted a script called Trumpy that has all of our usernames on it. The History page of the script shows that it was created 2016-06-15 and it hasn't been updated since then. So most likely somewhere around that date they scraped usernames from T_D and labeled them all "active posters".
9
Wow... that is seriously the worst possible time frame to pull from.
6
Now I am wondering what other subs I am banned from, since you don't get a notification if you are banned from a sub that you've never posted in. I just checked a few subs and so far the only one I have found is /r/BlackLadies. I can't make comments or posts there, so they probably banned people from this list as well. EDIT - /r/offmychest as well.

I don't think I ever posted on T_D on this account.

6
I'm not on the list. I don't think I've ever posted on T_D. But I'm banned.
6
The extension that's posted ITT is an old build, so there's probably a far more recent version. Personal speculation, but I'd imagine it would also include posters to /r/asktrumpsupporters, /r/askthe_donald, and other "conservative" subreddits (whether or not truly conservative)

It doesn't matter if you've posted on t_d. There's many users on many /r being banned. t_d have infiltrated twox, my source on the inside says apb's list(not the bot herself) was created by a t_d/twox infiltrator. People are just too dumb to notice(think about it). This is a good thing, it's a scummy /r
3
Just banned. Never posted in there or on t_d. Haven't said anything "sexist" recently either. Edit: I did make a few posts in T_D at one point, but got banned very quickly. All of these ban-happy mods are beyond pathetic. They can't take any disagreement whatsoever - it is no different than a kid sticking their fingers in their ears.
7
The mods just apologized for not telling me I was banned. They didn't tell me why I was banned at all or tell me if I can be unbanned. It sucks because I actually like that subreddit, hate Donald Trump and am a feminist but apparently I got shoved on a list that I don't even know the content of
5
Man, I've been fighting MRAs for 6 years now, I post mainly on The Blue Pill (can't get anymore liberal than that) and I'm constantly fighting The Red Pill on Purple Pill Debate. I'm insulted that I'm being kicked for being a Trump supporter. Lol.
6
I'm mostly bothered by the fact that they won't tell me exactly what I'm banned for I post on the blue pill too. Maybe that was what I was banned for. Oh no, we don't want women discussing misogyny on our forum for feminists!! What even. I don't understand the logic
4
I sent three moderators and the automod thingy four messages asking them what the ban was for. I'll wait 24 hours and choose 3 other mods and send them the same msg. I want to know what I did. First because if I offended someone I would genuinely appreciate the chance to apologize, and second because if this is thought policing coming from a default sub, Reddit is done; everybody is going to end up banned from everywhere.
7
You appear to even post in srs, so your ban is perhaps the strangest of all. I thought all of the people who complained of a 'reddit cabal' were lunatics, it is scary to think that there may be some truth in their ramblings.
4
Most of my Karma comes from SRS, TwoX and The Blue Pill. I post a lot of Purple Pill Debate too, but my views aren't upvoted there for obvious reasons. You literally cannot get any more bleeding heart liberal than me. I hardly ever post on SRS anymore, though I'm still quite a fan. I stopped posting when they decided to stop mocking MRAs. I stopped posting on TwoX when they were allowing MRAs to hijack every single thread back when they went default, years ago. After that I only rarely posted on 2X. I'm mostly on The Blue Pill now where I can mock misogynists at will. For now, cause if this goes unchecked we will all probably be banned from everywhere. I'm going to pursue this because I know it's bullshit. There is no reason for my ban. I challenge anybody to find one post in my history that's not bleeding heart liberal, as long as they keep in mind that The Blue Pill is a satire sub.
3
Yeah I checked your post history a little bit because I was curious and clearly you are the model user for most of the subs that blanket banned. You will see that mine is 90% help posts in small car subs. I consider myself in the center, SRS does not appeal to me, some of what they post seems pretty intended to be jokes to me and I think it is overreacting, but I also do not read the subs that slant the other way. I try to stay away from jerking it either direction. The 'worst' I have done is say maybe we should give Trump a chance immediately after the election since he was the president now and maybe we would be wrong. Clearly we weren't and he sucks, but I wanted him to get to prove he would be a terrible president and not just an asshole first. What irritates me the most is that I'm open minded. If I advocate for anything it is for reasonable discourse as I truly believe that most (not all) confrontations are rooted in miscommunication and small differences of a opinion, where even if two people will never agree, they can at least understand where the other is coming from and they don't need to hate each other. My mind is a little blown that I've laughed at the idea of a reddit SRS cabal when now it appears to be half true, as I do not think they are necessarily SRS but they obviously do exist. I'm not sure what they were hoping to accomplish but I for one am even more convinced that freedom of speech and dissenting opinion are more important than feelings than ever. I hope your ban gets overturned because your history shows that even if you don't agree with a person you can discuss things like an adult and reddit (and the world) needs more of that. For myself, I'm just going to +filter them and move on with my life, I suppose.
4
Ha ha ha and what irritates me the most is that I'm not that open minded at all. I'm to the left of the left and I still managed to get banned. I do agree though that we have to keep a dialogue going even if it's uncomfortable for the ones arguing and probably very inconvenient for the mods. I can't imagine how difficult moderating must be and deciding all the time where you draw the line, but moderating by banning and preventing people from expressing their opinions because you can't be bothered is ridiculous. If your mind's blown, imagine mine. I didn't even think that something on the Internet would bother me that much. I hope your ban gets overturned too. If nothing else, because it is clear by now that it was mass banning and that's not fair or healthy. EDIT: Typo.
3
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I got a response from a real mod finally. I told them that I don't really care about my ban, I had just wanted to know the reason, but that I thought they messed up pretty badly by including you, who should be considered a model member. Hopefully that helps speed up the process for you. Good luck.
3
Aww, thank you. :) I really appreciate it. Good luck to you too.
2
What did they say. I'm internet annoyed at my ban, mostly just think it's a bad sign for reddit (I really don't want to go to 4chan for free expression, I like moderating trolls and BS). Maybe somehow reddit can become the perfect echo chamber, is that the goal?
2
The one mod just said that they had responded to over 2000 mod mail messages today and if you replied to the ban notice without name calling you should have got a response by now. I don't think that is true and she never responded to the message I replied to her with.
2
Thanks for the reply. I sent the first message and got the canned answer: changing things, new process, blah. I replied asking why I was banned as I even have positive karma in that sub (very infrequent poster), no reply so far. It seems like they are breaking the rules with these preemptive bans, I'd really like to know what inspires an idea like this, kind of scary if this was real life and not just reddit.
2
Yeah I was mad at first as I also have positive karma in that sub though only post there if it hits /r/all, but they seem like crazy people. I doubt it is going to help their cause.
2
Ya, I just wonder what a 'good reddit citizen' is. I thought I was one, but I guess maybe not. I think they must be crazy or deluded to think this is what a mod should do. I get banning people for not respecting a sub in the sub, but... Oh well, maybe the admins will do something.
8
Same. But who cares, it's like being banned from a dumpster fire you weren't giving attention. What's next, HRC is not going to invite me to a pedophile party? lol
4
I agree. I posted there slightly, but they're a bit intense about what they allow you to say and what opinions and perspectives they tolerate, and I hate that. /r/TrollXChromosomes is better.
3
And yet I am not banned and I post in problematic subs and post problematic content. Doesn't seem automated at least.
5
maybe they are afraid to offend someone with a handle like yours
3
Just say something about gamergate in /news. That's how I got banned.
7
Just got banned, have no idea why. Don't post there at all ever, none of their issues concern me and I don't troll. Meh.
8
Same here. I barely even know what the sub is about. It's a place for women and homosexuals to bitch or something?

5
I don't seem to be banned, and I don't know why. I'm a fairly active user of a lot of the subs that get you auto banned, like KIA, TIA and The_Donald.
3
i too got banned.
3
also just got banned just now. havent posted on their sub in a long time.
3
me too
1
Same and I messaged them and they said you were banned a long time ago, we're changing how we do things.
5
Can confirm random ban. Haven't posted or even visited (to the best of my knowledge) that sub in quite some time. Have yet to get a response back but yea.. banned for what seems like no reason.
3
Happened to me also. Possibly for posting here or t_d. Never once posted or commented in 2X - but my wife has (on her own account) and is pissed about this.
2
I got banned. I've never commented there

1
I was banned from twoxchromosomes out of the blue a few days back, too
38
So it seems anyone who's EVER posted/commented in t_D has been banned? So if you're on [this](http://archive.is/gCwNp) list and you were banned, that's why. Doesn't matter if you were posting in criticism or calling them out on their bullshit, just banned. If anyone gets a response about why be sure to post it! Edit: [Wow...](https://imgur.com/a/GVEYC)
9
Can you check to see if you're allowed to post comments on /r/blackladies? Since it looks like I am banned from there, I think they banned based on this script as well. I don't think there is any way to know how many other subs we are banned from.
7
Nope I don't seem to be able to.
8
/r/offmychest is another.
7
/r/offmychest, /r/rape and /r/blackladies have been banning people this way for a long time, it's nothing new. KiA has had a warning about that above their post box practically since the sub was made.
2
[deleted]
1
What the hell, I just checked all of those and I can't comment either..
2
Also banned, never heard of the sub
6
I am on that list, and I cant comment on blackladies as well. Now I am wondering how many other subs have shadowbanned me.
8
Yup. What a shit show. I checked blackladies and off offmychest - I've never posted there but am banned. I posted at s4p, donald and politics during the election, I would have posted at hillary too, but that sub was boring. I guess I shouldn't have posted at TD, it was wrong of me to express my opinion (or have a laugh) I'M SOOOOO Sooooorrrry.
11
I think that's awesome. These people are so afraid of others having a different opinion than they do that they're banning people who 'might' disagree with them. Obviously their ideas and beliefs have a solid foundation. No need for discussion.
3
I am banned there, and I just got banned on 2X yesterday.
3
lol I got banned from there and I've never once clicked on the sub. Guess I'll have to just move on with my life or something.
2
lol I got banned from there and I've never once clicked on the sub. Guess I'll have to just move on with my life or something.
5
I'm not on that list, but I am banned.
7
How odd, I wonder what imaginary crime you committed.
8
I commented on The_Donald a few times this year, so that might be it. The crime of wrongthink (even though I'm not a frequent T_D poster). The infuriating part: some of us have apparently been "shadowbanned" long ago, in the form of AutoModerator removals. You could make a comment or post on TwoX, only for it to be instantly removed without notice. They just hadn't bothered to actually ban us until this point.
23
I never posted on T_D. They're admitting they're banning people for posting in other subs. I hope the admins come down hard on them. I'm so tired of this crap.
17
Admins haven't done anything in the last day other than ban T_D mods.
8
The system is functioning as designed. The admins are complicit and want this to happen. They want to turn Reddit into a mainstream Democrat social justice echo chamber where dissenting opinions are not allowed.
6
I'm not on that list, but I was just banned.
6
>Imgur pic Likely same mod, different subreddit. Surprised you actually got a reply! \>asking a 2 sentence question in a polite tone is "harassment" lmao
1
Wow! That's freaking crazy. Talk about fascism...
22
They are banning masculinity.
3
They might as well be doing that, but I've been fighting MRAs and Red Pillers and the whole manosphere for more than 6 years and I still managed to be banned. My username is not on the list that's going around, I don't think I ever posted on T_D, and haven't posted on 2X for more than 6 months.
2
Well fighting is a pretty masculine action so that might be why. /s
21
I gotta say. Good. Being banned from those places is a badge, really.
8
If people become comfortable with this type of abuse of power, eventually we will all be banned from everywhere.
14
I like to consider the new age perception that they are not locking us out, but rather they are locking themselves in.
5
Been banned since I hopped on the Trump train during the primaries. Never even commented there or anything - just got a ban message one day.
6
Yes and no; I gave up my old account because a power-mod banned me from a default sub for being a KIA contributor. Within 2 weeks I was banned from about 20 different subs, many I had never even visited. In theory that should not be possible with the "new" rules but somehow I feel that will only be applied to subs like T_D that might ban SRS/Pol trolls.
2
I refuse to tolerate such behavior.
2
I'm banned from T_D and TwoXChromasomes What badge do I get?
21
Hey look guys, I found the place they got our usernames from: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/20592-trumpy/code Apparently I am an active The_Donald poster? That's news to me.
6
I'm on there too. I've commented once or twice on td but I've been critical of them too.
11
Gonna use it to upvote trump users.
6
Aw shit, the script broke.

15
Just got banned by r/TwoXChromosomes as well. I post a lot of places, and am fairly mild mannered and centrist, liberal, classically liberal with a dash of conservative at times. I think my posts at politics and Donald, mostly during the election reflect that. Wonder why I got a ban. I replied, I guess we will find out. Edit: I made a post there a long time ago, too lazy to go find it but well over a year ago; also karma is positive from that sub. Edit 2: From mod team: 'We apologise that you were not informed when you were banned originally. We're changing how we operate. These out of date ban messages are an unfortunate side effect.'
12
I got the same message. I don't believe I have posted there in years and I highly doubt that whatever I posted was against the rules. I think it's more likely that I got banned for posting a couple of times in AskTrumpSupporters, even though my comments there are mostly critical of Trump's actions.

>Edit 2: From mod team: 'We apologise that you were not informed when you were banned originally. We're changing how we operate. These out of date ban messages are an unfortunate side effect.' Christ, that reeks of bullshit.
10
Probably trying to get around the new rule by claiming they're old bans or something. Just more bigotry.
7
My guess is that anyone even commenting at the Donald is banned
8
I got this: https://imgur.com/a/GVEYC Apparently I'm harassing them by asking what I was banned for.

How do you know if you’ve been banned? Surprisingly I've never been banned by any subs as far as I know. If I go to /r/TwoXChromosomes everything appears to be normal but I have tried posting.
3
If you've commented in a sub before, you will get a PM saying you're banned if they officially ban you. If you've never posted in the sub before, the only way to tell is by visiting the sub and seeing that you can't post or comment. There's also a secret way they can ban you. They can make the automoderator automatically remove any posts you make. The post will still appear for you and show up on your profile, but no one else can see it.

6 year 2X subscriber here. It was the first community I found and the first I subscribed to. It's true that I posted on Incels (and was justifiably banned for it), just to find hours later that I was banned from TwoX too, even though I haven't posted anything controversial there and haven't posted there at all in over 6 months. Can't remember ever posting on T_D and my username is not on that list. I'm so confused.
7
mods often mod other subs, you got banned from a lot of subs for that post.
5
Isn't that against the rules?
7
Very

Just got banned from that sub as well. I literally have no idea why, so I google'd it if they ban people for a reason or something and this thread came up in the results. So whats up with the ban? I have never posted on twoxchromosomes, nor do intend to. What might be the cause for the ban? I dont give a fuck about the ban or that subreddit at all but just wondering the reason behind the ban. this is the first time I am being banned from a subreddit in 4 years of redditting, so I find it weird.

Your username is on the list in this script: http://archive.is/gCwNp

thanks, this is plain retarded. people take the fucking internet too seriously.
4
Yeah, I'm just glad that all of the subs that have banned people over this are places that I don't give a shit about.
8
They are a default, they can't go banning people because they feel like it
7
Admins disagree.
7
That was the first subreddit I got banned from! They looked at my history after I made a pretty innocent post and apparently I got reported as a Trump supporter and they subsequently banned me. But that was over a year ago.
7
I just messaged the admins. I wrote that /r/TwoXChromosomes is breaking the new Community Guidelines by banning users who post in subreddits they don't agree with. I linked to this thread as proof. **I categorized this as "harrasing" behavior.** ______________ •Open Reddit in a Desktop Browser. •All the way at the bottom click 'Contact Us'. •Then click on 'something else'. •Then click on 'content breaks Reddit's rules'. •Then click on 'threating, **harrasing**, or inciting violence'. •Then click on the 'please send us a message' hyperlink.

Admins don't give a fuck. They'd shoot all of us in the back of the head if they could.
6
Well considering that subreddit is complete bullshit anyway. Nothing of value will be lost. Seriously if you really wanted to you'd make a new account to post there.
6
Was banned out of the blue as well. I unsubscribed from them (I believe they're a default subreddit?) so I forgot they existed, but apparently they just randomly banned people who posted on T_D. Name was on this list: http://archive.is/gCwNp Pretty sad move from an irrelevant and cancerous sub, glad I unsubbed.
6
What is going on is they added a new moderator, angrypeachbutt, yesterday. APB is a bot that is auto banning anyone who posted on other subs. This is a blatant violation of reddit sitewide rules
6
Yep.. got that yesterday too. Out of the blue.. a ban from a subreddit I didn't frequent. Also, the actual women in that subreddit have left. It's now a shit show of fake accounts, agenda-driven liars and the WORST advice for women I've ever seen. It's so bad i think it's secretly run by women-hating men! "dont report rape" WTF? Me: what if a female here gets raped by a guy you didnt report? Them: "ahh.. ahh.. err.. It's up to me to report it or not!!" oooohkay. You liars.
5
Oh is that why I got that ban this morning? I asked them 'Why?', I never even post there anyway, but there was no reply. I've never posted about video games or football, but I muppetpunch a lot. I'm going to make a wild guess CTR bought themselves some more mods (or infected the office).
5
TwoXChromosomes? More like TooManyChromosomes.
4
I was banned today and have no clue as to why. http://imgur.com/a/VUvFk edit - anyone send a tip how to msg the admins.

You are on the list too: http://archive.is/gCwNp
3
Go to r/reddit.com and message the mods.
2
Going to give them a few hours to have a sane reply, if not I'll continue. However the link you posted wants us to put a topic from a drop down menu there. What are we supposed to put as the topic?
6
Honesty, I don't see this menu as I'm using a mobile. Anything to do with guidelines. I also just noticed I'm banned too. We are allowed to ask for a reason to the ban, and it must follow the healthy guidelines the admins instructed us about. However, I see no real action coming to this. But we may as well give it a try.
4
I got a ban notice from them today. I asked them why as I haven't posted or commenting anything to their sub in at least the last week. They said they were sorry for not notifying me of when the bam actually took place. [http://i.imgur.com/ChJIaQQ.png](http://i.imgur.com/ChJIaQQ.png) [http://i.imgur.com/5Dbi01T.png](http://i.imgur.com/5Dbi01T.png)
3
I too was banned. I have posted to 2x, but my last one was about a month ago. While looking through my post history to see what I might have said, one of my downvoted 2x posts disappeared. Maybe Im just silly and lost it, but it's interesting if not.
3
Yeah me too. Maybe they don't like D&D? I messaged asking why but no answer yet.
3
I used their comment and had a blanket statement of "we banned you guys a while ago. We are changing things now." That's... not at all an answer. I directly contacted a few mods, also got no answer. This all goes against the new community guidelines, feel free to send a message to the admins. If enough go directly to the admins at the very least they'll have to try and say why they blanket banned so many people.
3
I asked why as was told: We apologise that you were not informed when you were banned originally.
3
Got ban today to. Asked for a reason and they couldn't give me one. Never even posted in that sub.
3
My username wasn't on that script, and I have never once posted to 2X or TD, but I still got a ban today.... I'm genuinely curious why, I hope they respond
2
I contacted a few mods directly. They haven't answered either. I'd suggest doing the same, or sending a message to the admins, there's a link somewhere. By reddit standards they have to at least tell you why you are banned so you can make a case should you choose.
3
I got one of those earlier after posting in 4chan. That or for redpill flavored snark in default subs. Sorry for your period!
3
Just got my ban message. Only comment i ever posted on twox was about gyms: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/5maq6c/the_overweight_girl_at_the_gym/dc2awrn/ i suppose its their sub and they can do as they see fit, but it seems fundamentally wrong to ban people because they participated in another sub.
3
Can this kind of thing be avoided by having a 'nice' account, which one uses to visit politically correct subs, and a 'nasty' account which one uses to comment on TD / TIA / [whatever else people find offensive]? Or would your two accounts' origins from the same IP address be visible to mods or other compilers of blacklists?
5
Admins could see the IPs, though I doubt they check that stuff unless someone suspects you're a banned person using an alt account. Also it would technically be against the rules if you were banned on one account and still commenting on the sub with another, though I am not sure how that works if you were never notified that you were banned.
3
> We apologise that you were not informed when you were banned originally ie. "We wanted to ban people for posting on other subreddits, but we had no bot that could do that. **Now we do.** So technically you were auto-banned ages ago when you posted on that *other* subreddit all those months ago... we just couldn't tell you, because we didn't know. Now we do. We apologize for the delay."   Again, this is in violation of reddit community rules. https://np.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/5y33op/updating_you_on_modtools_and_community_dialogue/ >*Management of Multiple Communities:* >*We know management of multiple communities can be difficult, but we expect you to manage communities as isolated communities and not use a breach of one set of community rules to ban a user from another community.*
1
>not use a breach of one set of community rules to ban a user from another community. But that's not what is happening. They're being banned for posting in another community. Not for breaching the rules of another community.
2
Can we get some proof? Maybe photos of your ban.

Here is a link to mine: http://i.imgur.com/HNBDu25.png Considering several usernames posting here are on this script, I don't think it's a coincidence: http://archive.is/gCwNp

Same. The only man I love is Bernie Sanders. I don't remember ever going to T_D. It's possible I could have commented at T_D when they were on r/all without even noticing what sub I was on. If that's what's behind the ban then that's really stupid.
2
I just got banned from there as well even though I've never posted or don't remember posting in that community.
2
Lol! I just got banned?! Wtf? I don't even read that dumbass sub
2
i found this after a google search after getting my ban notice. I was really confused because I don't even sub to /r/twoxchromosomes and as far as i know, I've never even posted in there. What the eff is going on?? I did message a mod asking because I was pretty confused Edit- it seems i am not on that script showing the donald posters so I am even more confused on how exactly i was banned from somewhere i have zero recollection or history of posting in
2
Just happened to me
2
https://i.imgur.com/i9etOyk.png Just got the same ban as well. I post in various videogame-related subs like /r/paydaytheheist and /r/bindingofisaac.
2
Me too. Wondered wtf was going on, I'm not sure I've ever posted there but if I did, it was a looong time ago, and whatever I said was likely mostly inline...
2
They banned me for no reason wtf
2
Oh found out why I was banned for no reason then. I haven't even said anything I should be banned for at all, just posted on one subreddit they may not like. I think it was about the porn star who body shamed and photographed naked without consent an elderly woman so I doubt if they were paying attention I would have been banned. I'm not even sure what I was banned for.
2
I have no clue why I can still post in twox,(I just commented on a post to see if I could.) hell I made a post on T_D yesterday. I do seem to be muted in both blackladies and offmychest.
2
I got one of these. I assumed it was an autoban because I just got autobanned from LateStageCapitalism.
2
admins will surely take action.
2
Same, no idea what post they were against just some random ban.
2
I just got banned too, no idea why
2
So, when you look in twox/new, the newest post is 4 hrs old. My twox ban is 3 hrs old. I wonder if that's a thing.
2
I was banned from there too. I was confused because ive never even been to that sub.
2
censorship is killing the internet
2
Am also on the list. Have had t_d blocked for months but I did comment on a post there a couple of times when it still seemed like satire.
2
I got banned within a minute of commenting on /news about gamergate. I emailed the admins, no reply in like 12 hours.
2
I too was banned from /r/TwoXChromosomes/ simply for posting things that they did not like.
2
I got banned too for no reason! Didn't see a reason for the ban and mods haven't messaged me back. I've posted comments in the past on some of the subs they don't like, so I figure that has something to do with it.
2
You weren't banned for browsing their sub-reddits. One of their mods has told me that the ban messages were just delayed and you were banned a while ago. Not sure how that works though.
3
funny how within 2 hours of him getting his notice i got banned. i had posted there once 4 months ago saying that i also worried about going to the gym but ended up only having positive experiences once i went. i messaged the mods to ask why i was banned and got no response.
2
It really could be anything. They probably banned you ages ago but you only now got the message. You could've been banned for posting or commenting in a completely unrelated subreddit. I know a lot of subs ban you if you comment in /r/kotakuinaction

Thanks buddy.

>One of their mods has told me that the ban messages were just delayed and you were banned a while ago. Not sure how that works though. It doesn't. There's only one way to ban people, as far as I know, and it sends a "You have banned from X blah blah blah" message. That's why you don't see anyone explaining how this "delayed ban message" works, even though the mods at TwoX are claiming it. Mods don't usually have any ability to modify things like that, beyond adding to the ban message. We can't decide "I want to ban this guy but not have him know about it". That's not how bans work. Now, that might be how *shadow bans* work, but a mod-induced shadow ban is not a formal, official reddit ban. I've asked the mods at TwoX how their "delayed response" bans work, am still waiting for an answer.
2
Yeah I really don't buy it. They probably compiled a list of people they want to ban then just manually typed it in to ban people individually. It would explain the delay between some people's bans and others as well.
2
They converted the Bot Shadowbans into official bans, that is what they mean by "delayed."
2
It's a lie. I was told I had been banned sometime within the last three years, when my account is two years old and I posted there five days earlier.
2
I'm banned from there as well but I don't remember ever getting a message saying so. Can you ban people from a sub without notifying them? Either way, two X chromosomes is a sub for women to bitch about pointless things so I don't miss it.
2
Report them to the administrators, seriously, it's complete bullshit.
2
I too was banned. Everyone is saying message the admins, but how do we do that? I can't find a contact account or email anywhere.
2
I was banned from twoxchromosomes for posting the following to uncensorednews "...Ever wonder why feminism has the 'rape culture' argument? If you say a massive rape epidemic exists, when islam shows up and an actual rape epidemic does exist, people will think its normal, when its not. 'Rape culture' = how you groom the female populace for mass rape. Say men control everything and say men use their power to create an unfair advantage against women, then when islam shows up and an actual unfair advantage happens, people will think its normal, when its not. 'Patriarchy' = how you groom the female populace for mass enslavement (women in islam are slaves)...." BANNED from twoxchromosomes, its a sub I've never been to, and never posted to. I think Ive broke their code, its exactly what they're doing, its not just a natural movement, its a psyop being pushed as feminism in order to groom the populace for an islam invasion.
