Which comment exactly got you banned?

There is only one comment. It is a link to that particular one.

Oh I see, sorry, I didn't look closely enough, I thought you meant one of the comments in the OP of the linked page.

The comment is deleted, what did it say?

Sorry, it was still there when I made the link. They have now deleted it. It was: This forum is controlled by cambridge analytica and the majority of the votes and comments are astroturfed. Here is the original discussion.

Oh, interesting, thanks. It's a bit confusing to sort through when just casually browsing here, that's a pretty important claim though... if you summarized it here, might help a few more people be aware of what's going on.

Well the claim was not serious. The point was simply to test if I would get banned for it. One could argue that it was trolling, but I think it walks the line. I could see how someone of a certain persuasion could legitimately believe that and so they should be able to have a conversation about that.

oh. :/ it confuses the information stream when you choose a test that requires spreading fake information, you know. and it confuses the test result -- would you have been banned for a clearly legitimate criticism of the main views there?

It's bi-partisan after all.
