    I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod

    There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don’t approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.

      Ugh… I remember the “Sorry you have been banned from…” messages, it was amusing when I was banned from subreddits I hadn’t heard of.

      Thing is Reddit policies are supposed to make it so you can’t be banned from one subreddit for your reputation or behavior in another, I actually told a mod this and he just laughed at me.

        Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It’s better than nothing.
