This mod bans people even if they don't break any rules lol. It's literally just them deciding who they want to stay based on how they personally feel.

Can't you contact the other now about this childs behavior?

I was one of the people who got banned from that thread. Did not break a single rule, literally just claimed the post was irrelevant and then later called out the mod for deleting comments. I got called a Russian troll.

In fact, I got that exact same ban message. I honestly love how condescending it is, I’m thinking of putting it on my fridge. It’s impressive.

I sent a DM to one of the other mods about it and got no response. I’d bet that most if not all of the sub’s other moderators aren’t active anymore. It might just be Linux-is-best’s playground.

I couldn't find any other mods listed so I didn't even think it was worth submitting a modmail to ask about my ban. The only rule that I possibly broke was "don't be uncivil".

Nope, if you send in a mod mail message he bans you (like he did to me https://imgur.com/a/iGGznUu). You'd have to directly message one of the other subreddit mods for them to do something. But you can't see who mods a subreddit after you're banned.

Can you comment on the way this guy acts by any chance, /u/Ky1e? The new subreddit mod for /r/massachusetts, Linux, is straight up running the sub into the ground and banning users that didn't violate any rules (such as me).

Edit: Oh god, it's basically just ky1e, everyone else is either bot or dead accounts. The new guy basically runs the whole subreddit. That's awful.

Edit 2: Ayyy he blocked me.

Hey you should submit a report for admin review, you have pretty glaring evidence for mod abuse.

Admins don't really care about stuff like this. Hostile take overs are basically allowed and they will only do something about it if it hits television.
