So I just got a 5-day ban from Reddit Personal Finance

Not really shocked because some of the mods are trumpers and I was pushing the boundaries. lol

My response, kind of common sense considering the post:

Here comes Reddit:


lol. I like Personal Finance there because it has so many real-life situations. This mod stuff really cracked me up. Cheers

Here's a forum that you yourself (and presumably others) find valuable and enjoy

And yet here you're taking gleeful pleasure in p*ssing in the pond. (rather than offering anything of benefit or substance in response to the post.) And, from personal experience - I can assure you that these posters that insist on interjecting their random little digs and non-sequitur (particularly politics, which we all have up to our eyeballs every day) - are really kind of an enormous pain. So if the mods on this forum are alert enough to slap you hands ... Bully for them!

Like you said - can't really claim 'surprise' .. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For instance, recommending a call to their member of Congress’ office for assistance in navigating government programs, ensuring she has everything qualified for, etc.

and there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to modding or political leanings.

r/politics, for example, is probably further to the left than DU.

Devastating to trump. I've posted a few items and have a good amount of karma points. I've also had about 30% pulled down. Got a 5-day ban over there as well arguing over one of my pulled down posts. It's fun.
