Banned from multiple sub-reddits

(Obviously I have to break my username rule for the purposes of this post. It pains me to do so, but I see no alternative)

For about 10 days now, I've been commenting nothing but variations of "Dude" in response to different posts or comments. Overall the account has been well received by users, with multiple messages complimenting me on the account.

It started with r/HumansBeingBros. I shrugged it off as mods not having a sense of humor. Then two days ago I was banned from r/Whatcouldgowrong and this morning from r/CrappyDesign.

I wrote what I felt was a polite message asking the mods to reconsider. The message was generic and copy/pasted to each modmail box for each sub.

In response I was told:

  • You are now spamming that same response to multiple subs. You will not be unbanned here.
  • We don't allow people that act like bots.

This was immediately followed by additional bans from:

Additional bans applied since original post:

I support the mods decision to ban whomever they like to maintain sanity in their sub-reddits. I'm sad that what seemed to be a fun and user-appreciated account is being "oppressed" by the mods. Such is life I suppose.

Y'all have a pleasant day. :)

[Edit: Added new banned subreddit(s) ... the list keeps growing!!]

Hey, just a friendly PSA:

If large subreddits allowed bots/novelty accounts, about 80 percent of the comment sections of those subreddits would be unreadable spam.

Its not that they don't like your idea, its that we get probably three to five people like you a day and we want regular users to be able to interact with the site too.

Thanks for letting me know. I was actually about to shadowban you until I saw this, since you seemed like a bot, but now it seems more likely that you're just having fun with this. You will now not be banned.

Also the reason you're being banned is because all those subs are controlled by the same moderator cabal that hails form r/defaultmods. They often global ban users whom they dislike.
