    1. What was the one opinion that finally got you banned? I need to know if it was worth it.

      You’ll only be banned for violating a rule that doesn’t exist without being able to actually appeal it.

      I do love the comeback arcs though. I’ve seen a dude write something crazy, have like -300 votes, then just reply/argue his way into positive up-voted comments. It’s rare, but it’s beautiful.

      I’ve seen people turning the audience in their favor by further arguing, from – upvotes to + upvotes. Battles were fought.

      redditors when they’re stuck in an irl confrontation (they can’t just downvote the other person and leave)

      I say racism is bad and I get called a Nazi and KKK and a bigot, then they proceed some of the most racists things that would make a Hitler youth or Klansman blush. What is Reddit?

      What? I made a dumb ass joke about what sound would lasers made in a certain country make compared to regular lasers and got my ass banned for 3 days. I’ll leave you to guess the joke. Now I’m having second thoughts about this comment

      Who cares about downvotes?? It’s just pussies who can’t and don’t accept that someone else has a differing opinion. I’d bet all of the people who down vote are fat and wear fedoras.

    9. Getting downvoted is hardly a worry anymore. It happens

      I’ve been auto-suspended a few times for saying I’d like to beat up fictional characters though. They say it’s “threats of violence” despite it being about Adam Smasher or something

    10. its all fun and games til reddit hit you with the ” you have 7 days left on your ban”

    11. I get banned all the time, that’s what new accounts are for.
      This account has been proudly banned from r/conservative and r/communism

      getting banned is rare… getting downvoted into oblivion is the real reddit experience

      Commenter: How DARE you! Your opinion is trash, look at your 5 downvotes, everyone thinks so too!

      Me:Laughs in 130k Karma.

      What’s even more fun is knowing the comment you’re about to make is going to get downvoted hard but you do it anyway and then go outside and touch grass because upvotes and downvotes are arbitrary and the internet is not a serious place for public discourse.

      Easy to get downvoted on Reddit. Just write anything that is remotely conservative/right leaning

    16. Sometimes even when you post a sensible and well thought out opinion on reddit. There’s no predicting what way the reddit will go.
