What is Saidit's sub banning history?
submitted 3 years ago by 72ndGender from (self.AskSaidIt)
I've been here off and on for a few years, mostly off, but am hoping some long timers can fill us in on Saidit's history of banning objectionable subs. I remember one ban last year, something about hating on blacks, but don't remember the details. Any others?

The rules are generally pretty lax as long as the sub in question doesn't leak into other communities, I honestly can't think of a single ban right now and I've been here for over a year. But I might have just missed a lot. There is one significant member I remember being banned, but it took multiple warnings for him to finally get booted.

Rules are rules, so I wouldn't defend someone that couldn't accept numerous warnings. Even Voat and Poal have to boot special case douchebags, and those are the most free speech platforms I have ever seen. Good to know the bans have been rare or inexistent lately.

That's exactly who I'm talking about, I sometimes wonder what he's up to now. He seemed to have spent all his time on the site so god knows whats replaced it.

was snow actually banned? I thought they left of their own volition.

Now that you mention it, I think he stopped participating after someone allegedly harrassed him (s/teachsnowenglish was a place) and then after he was pinged in a thread he commented "this is my last comment here" and nuked himself. Don't remember all the details - didn't visit saidit very often - but he was on this website ALL DAY.

Are you using a new account? I thought you were new here, and yea I think they actually ended up leaving.
Yeah this is a new account. I've visited here on and off for a little while.

You could check the moderation log for history for something like that.

I didn't know there was a site wide mod log. I know individual subs have them. Could you point me towards it?

The "bannedfromreddit" SaidIt wiki page also lists banned from Saidit subs:

Seems two subs were banned for routinely violating US laws and two subs were banned for routinely advocating violence against other groups. These four bans all occurred more than a year ago.
