Can moderators see your upvotes/downvotes?

I was banned from a sub and the moderator seemed to have some vendetta against me. They said I broke the rules, but not a single rule was broken even by a strict interpretation. I kindly asked them what rule, and they refused to tell me.

I told them I felt betrayed because I actively recommended people and have brought many users over to the sub, I contributed a lot, and have a proven history of completed transactions. I said how is it that you are banning me for no reason, are reusing to articulate why, etc… where were you last year when our sub was infested with scammers and all the mods neglected to do anything? How can you go form that to banning innocent, long term contributors?

He says this isn’t a debate and the. goes on a power trip saying reread the rules and tells me I better not talk about things ticket know about and that I am wrong.

I say: You’re right. There is no debate because there’s nothing to argue here. The facts are I did nothing wrong. (I lay out each rule and point out how they have absolutely nothing to do with me) and then say it’s also a fact that you did neglect the sub. I was here the entire time time and may others commented on it. I even lined him to a few posts that we users commented about this. And gave him a link that EVEN A FELLOW MOD OF HIS CONFIRMED THEIR NEGLECT and apologized.

After looking though all my comments and posts, I check my like history and see that I downvoted him a LONG time ago because he was being an ass to another user. I totally forgot about this. It had to have been 9-14 months ago,.. I think he waited for me to make a post for him to finally get revenge. Or… he’s just generally an asshole and I happened to be his victim. On our sub, if you type in his name you’ll see quite a few comments stating he has problems and goes on power trips.

The icing on top is that I also had mentioned they have failed as a sub for ignoring a lot of us users who have asked for them to implement the Universal Scammer List moderation tool. I even mentioned that since day one of me using I have been one of the people who asked the most and they have ignored me and other consistent users for years. Which, has contributed to rampant scamming. So it doesn’t make sense over/policing the sub with secret rules that aren’t listed when you can’t even implement a basic tool that would protect the legit users and new users. His response is that “Universal Scammer List is a scam and he will never implement it”… what? That told me everything I needed to know about this man.

I love the community on Reddit for the most part, but holy fucking shit…How can the platform allow this? On this sub I was making extra INCOME. Are you shitting me? Get these fucking guys off Reddit!!!!
