Oh wow they did remove it. I don't remember what it said but I know it was troll alt account for a mod of /s/ironleft, and they were blaming u/magnora7 for everything. From what I saw it seems they originally got banned for repeatedly putting their sub back on /s/all after they were told not to, because they censor opposing opinions.

I found their explanation, and it sounded innocent: they were genuinely not knowing why the page kept disappearing from s/all and kept putting it back on before m7 talked to them about it.

It is in the rules but I do agree they should've gotten a warning first. I think admins and mods are just too used to reflexively permabanning for every petty rule violation they even suspect nowadays. The insanely harsh legalistic culture has rubbed off even on free speech sites. I also think admins and mods often forget that everyone else doesn't have access to as much information as they do, I've even seen reddit admins expect people they de-modded to still be able to see modmail for that sub.

There was unneeded escalation then.

This looks like an admin team stretched too thin.

But I agree.
