So, I posted a simple Roku fix on Reddit — just explaining how to get actual antenna channels back instead of their ad-stuffed “Live TV” hub.
The post took off fast-within 90 minutes: • 8,000+ views • 12 upvotes • Dozens of people thanking me for the fix
Then… moderators nuked it as a repost.
Sequence of Events: 1. I politely asked what rule I’d broken. 2. Mod replied: “I don’t know, nor is it relevant to your ban.” 3. I joked: “Ok thank you, Paul Blart. 🙄” 4. Instantly → permanent ban + mute.
Screenshots confirmed: no rule violation, just a mod having a day.

Follow-up Attempts: • Tried posting the story in r/help and r/ideasfortheadmins. • AutoMod deleted both — apparently the word “ban” is illegal now. • Tried to share it elsewhere, but at this point Reddit moderation feels like TSA confiscating nail clippers while waving through flamethrowers.
⸻
Takeaway: It’s wild when platforms value control over community. I literally helped people watch TV again — and got banned for it.
Give someone a little power, and it goes straight to their head.

The irony? My Roku fix worked. Thousands saw it before it vanished. So somewhere out there, people are happily watching TV — thanks to a guy Reddit decided to erase.
Stay tuned for Volume 2: “AutoMod vs The Word ‘Ban’.”
Needs text alternative.
So, the original post was removed by AutoMod for no apparent rule violation, that instigated a repost that got you banned, and the moderators claim it’s not
?
It’s too bad we can’t nuke reddit from high orbit & bitchslap their unaccountable moderators to eternity. I wonder who hurt those idiots as children & made them turn out that way.
