Allow me to rant a little, without naming the specific sub I have an issue with.

So I was having a civil discussion with someone in a big sub for discussing politics, and said I thought they were out of touch, bam, 7 day ban. They claim that it was against the rules, but there is nothing in the rules that support that and plenty of people say things like that constantly. It wasn't against the rules. I doubt the person I was conversing with thought so.

Then, someone outright insults me and calls me stupid in a comment, but that's allowed to stay up. When asking for clarification I just get a cowardly response that mod decisions have nothing to do with me. When asking for clarification in the rules that allow that, same response.

I replied to the comment insulting me saying it's a shame that person had to resort to insults and that the mods allow it. That comment was silently removed, but the comment containing the insult stays up.

Then I submit 3 stories in an hour, and get a 21 day ban for 'queue flooding'. What nonsense, I've submitted 3 stories in an hour several times over the past year and it's never been an issue. It was clearly a retaliatory action for 'talking back' to the mods.

Just so much arrogance and petty abuse of power. Frustrating.

Is there a decent big sub for discussing US politics that has mods that are not spoiled children? Where I won't have to deal with this kind of nonsense?

Edit: I actually only just noticed that the 21 day ban I received for 'queue flooding' specifically says not to submit more than 5 articles in a 24 hour period, while I only submitted 3. Very clearly a sham ban.
