The official Dragon Age reddit is apparently auto banning people for posting in other subreddits

It's pretty commok for subreddits to do this.
I actually was quite a regular in that particular subreddit around the time when Trespasser (the last DLC for Inquisition) was released. At the time, it was quite ok to be critical of various aspects of the series. But, I guess times have changed.
 
LMAO this is NORMAL for Reddit

If you post in certain subs you are auto-banned from places like r/politics

Reddit is a giant death cult and most people don't realize it because if you stay out of the big toxic subs you have an experience completely separate from the absolutely insane people who actually read those giant subs

When the reddit API was still free I made some ok side hustle money making auto ban bots and wrongthink detection bots for control freak reddit mods. Sometimes I would get opposing subreddits buying pretty much the same bot from me to ban each other's participants. It was a good feeling of chaotic neutrality.

You have to have rules for communities this goes back to 2017 Neogaf’s “collapse” and the emergence of “Resetera”.
Man, that user tag is so fitting.
Almost every time you comment something it sounds like you are pulling some randomly generating text that relates to an entirely different thread.

FYI: this has been a Reddit thing since it's inception, don't fall for the clickbait. If a sub Reddit you're posting in has idealogical inconsistencies and you're going to just be shitting the place up what's the point?

I used to participate in the old powermod slack and pick up side work creating ways for them to not have to actually do any moderation work. I made a bunch of Python bots that funneled info over to private discord channels where kids the mods found who were willing to work for a different color username would make moderation decisions that were pumped back through the mod's account via the api. It's how some of them were able to get so many mod actions in so many subreddits. I ultimately got tired of how political everything was and deleted my reddit account. It wasn't worth it.

It wasn't all chaos though. Had a couple of subreddits that wanted to democratize moderation so some voting systems were created that let mods vote whether to remove stuff or ban people. I didn't get into the why so much. I just liked making gears turn and seeing things happen. At the end of the day what happens on reddit is pretty meaningless.
 
Reddit is a leftist wokefest POS. I stopped engaging in that shithole 2 years ago.
It's really bad right now. Like they are batshit crazy in every sub about election bs and saying they will be murdered and all sorts of crap. The deplatforming is common there. I got banned from a few subs for being on kotakuinaction, a sub that formed in 2014 to call out journalists and woke shit in games.

I cancelled my account 2 years ago, I'll browse anonymously but can't comment, but it's the best thing ever for that site.

It's super annoying when Reddit subreddits do this. For example, you can't join/comment on certain female oriented subreddits if you are subscribed to certain subreddits like r/greentext, the 4chan humor subreddit.

They just assume anyone subscribed there is a womanizer despite the fact that the entire point of the subreddit is to laugh at the daily stupidity on 4chan.
