My ban was for quoting someone who said a slur so they couldn't edit their comment after I reported it, and I said as much in my report.

It's the moderators, they are dumb as fuck because there's no consequence because they're all volunteers. The only thing stupider than the volunteer mods who don't demand pay, are the people who get hung up on what moderators are doing or not. We should have all stopped taking reddit so seriously a long, long time ago. Protests? Jesus christ, a reddit protest does as much real-world good as a kindergarten protest by the children mad that they can't get more cookies.
