Can someone from the admin team please explain what I actually did wrong?

First I get a message where it's saying I'm abusing the reporting tool. I've only ever used it to report posts that clearly don't follow the rules of the sub I've reported the posts on. That message was an automated message.

I then ask what types of reports, or where, I have been 'abusing'. I basically get a canned response saying I did something wrong, but no "what" at all.

I mean if you want users to stop using the report tool to report stuff like spam and rule violations, this is a great way! I'm trying to contribute to the subs I visit. Guess I'll completely stop doing that then.

Also your rule 8 doesn't even mention the report tool. For your information.

Sincerely; a pissed of Reddit user getting a slap on the wrist for trying to help.
