    Wow - they suspected you of abusive reporting?

      Right?

      I wonder who would have tried to make them think that, before they found out that it wasn’t true? Like wasn’t there someone who tried to imply that I was reporting people for being uncivil, but that person didn’t seem to read the room correctly and felt that the people attacking me weren’t uncivil.

      Now I can’t remember that person’s username. Hmmm…do you have any idea?

      In the end, I guess it doesn’t matter. No reason to name and shame.

      Because it was quickly discovered that I DID NOT engage in abusive reporting. So no ban!

      I guess a win for the community and a win for those of us who want to keep this community diverse and engaging.

      So it’s a good thing for this place. I love that this place believes in a community that celebrates diverse viewpoints, as long as they stay respectful.

        How many posts did you have to report to make them think that? It must have been a LOT!

          I’m not sure, because in the end, they did NOT think that I abused anything. Hence, no ban. So all good!

          And I can continue posting political news articles that keep this community engaging and diverse. Which is a good thing for politics! Good, strong content is good for a robust community. :)

            I went and checked. You were right (of course)!

            It was for report abuse! I bet you report every rule infraction you come across, don’t you?

              The monk is a very nontoxic user who only argues in good faith so you better watch what you say.

                Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. That was very cool of you to say.

              Immediately unbanned because they found out that I did NOT engage in report abuse.

              I bet you report every rule infraction you come across, don’t you?

              Well, there are rules in the community for a reason.

              And I think that reason is so that diverse viewpoints won’t be suppressed by baseless accusations, and uncivility.

              So do you think people should refrain from reporting rule infractions in this community?

              I’m not entirely clear on what you are implying. Please feel free to clarify what you think about the rules for this sub. I personally think they are there for a reason.

                I bet you reported yourself for all those comments you made that were removed too didn’t you?

                You seem like the kind of honest straight shooter who’d report themself when they made a mistake.

                  I’m not quite sure what you mean. “All those comments”? It was only three comments of me saying, “k” to someone who admitted he created a bot, just to engage me. And that person got banned for 3 days. Then the mods saw the extent of his behavior and extended the ban. So I have no problem removing those comments, since every single one of his comments in that bot communication got removed.

                  You seem like the kind of honest straight shooter who’d report themself when they made a mistake.

                  Thank you for saying that! I’m glad that we are cool with each other. I appreciate you saying those kind things about me! Seriously. Very cool of you to say that.

                    Only 3? I saw a LOT more than three.
