That's just a list of deleted and suspend accounts, we have to take OP's word that:
- they are former t_d users
- they were truly picked at random
- their voting behavior was anomalous
You're not even close to the standard of proof shown here, can't even say 'nice try' tbh.

I posted a comment, which is the top comment in this thread, explaining that exactly. Did you somehow miss it?

The rules are already in place, as well as a sticky clearly delineating what the subreddit is for and what we expect from posts. Quoting from it:
> Our goal here is exposing ideological censorship and similarly disingenuous modding practices.
There isn't a significant problem with people not getting what content should be posted here; the main one we have is people not making an effort to document their posts, but it's very manageable.

Yes, here. Mods abusing their own rules to push their ideology in subreddits that are ostensibly non-ideological is exactly what this subreddit is about. Censorship is the most common case, but not the only one.

Comment on: /r/worldnews headmod maxwellhill keeps breaking his own subreddit rules to spam anti-Trump propaganda
In this case, the article is entirely US internal politics: it's a California representative saying something about a Trump adviser. The excuse maxwellhill uses is that since it mentions Russians then it has global relevance, but no actual Russian is involved in this piece of news, it's entirely about one rep's opinion of the situation.
maxwellhill is the effective head moderator of /r/worldnews, a subreddit he uses to push his leftist agenda. He was previously a moderator of /r/technology, where he fucked up badly enough to have the subreddit removed from the defaults.

It's not that they're unable to, it's that they operate in an environment where the path of least resistance is going along with everyone else. If you ban controversial content, you're golden, and only nazis and freaks will protest. If you keep it, you expose yourself to endless barrages of media fire courtesy of the SJW dominance in it. Just look at the recent Youtube-WSJ debacle: Youtube lost literally billions because of the moral panic created by the WSJ's article.
Modern censorship works by making it very difficult to run a major service without bending to SJW requests. It's not impossible, but if you have any ambition of making money then good luck.

Comment on: /r/LateStageCapitalisms bans its own users for pointing out that a story everyone's taking seriously is a comedian's joke, and the 'vile' mechanism they're criticizing doesn't actually work like they think
Note: while normally an ideologically-set subreddit like LSC would not be suitable for posting here (as censorship of differing ideologies there is expected), in this case they are actually censoring their own users for pointing out a material mistake instead of an ideological divergence.

Latestagecapitalism is a communist subreddit. You'll find that all of them, even the "ironic" ones, apply close ideological censorship.

We like to enforce the clearly posted rules? we do ban people whose only history in /r/uncensorednews is attacking it or its users. At the end of the day the subreddit is for people who want to discuss news, if it's something else you're interested in doing then you gotta go do that elsewhere.
> BTW, same mods rule here so expect this comment to be deleted shortly.
It has been deleted, as well as its other copies, since you've gone around spamming it in completely unrelated threads. Again, clearly posted rules, which you ignored because you thought they shouldn't apply to you. They do.

You were banned for spamming, because you repeatedly deleted your messages and reposted them hoping for better luck with the votes. Which we have told you in modmail. You have also been unbanned after we clarified everything in conversation, so would you mind editing your message? thank you.

Take a second read at rule 5:

This subreddit is not for and will not be allowed to become a playground for trolls. If you're to bring a sincere report of censorship you're welcome, but people coming here to troll under that guise will be shown the door. Bye.
