Was recently banned from a whole bunch of DB0 communities for, as best as I can gather, downvoting once when I viewed by All.

Important notes:

  1. I don’t use scripts.
  2. I don’t mass-downvote Communities. If I see a post I generally don’t like when browsing All, I may downvote one post, block the Community and move on.
  3. Some of the communities I was banned from don’t have any posts in them so I wouldn’t have been able to downvote anything.
  4. Of all of these Communities, in my history I downvoted one post in one of them. Voting in this manner is not vote manipulation. It’s quite literally a feature of the platform and as a mod of another Community, I would consider it pretty good etiquette.
  5. One of my bans reads “Appeal Granted, not a brigading member” but I’m still banned.
  6. I don’t troll.

WTF is going on here?

      Man’s looking tired, bruv.

      Those sacks under his eyes looking like a hog’s scrotum.

        I have a backstory for him that I’ve made up. He went along with all this because his grandson is the lead singer. He’s proud but unhappy because he doesn’t understand why they like this song. He also has no idea of what anyone is saying in the song, but his grandson seems happy enough.

          Nah. He’s bought into shitty Russian propaganda and has worked his whole life ignoring all his family matters.

          I’m pretty sure those guys in the back are some sort of higher officers and have nothing to do with the show except being on stand. They’re not performers, they’re like, awardees.

          So he’s basically been just licking ass as hard as he can and that’s why he hasn’t slept for 65 years.

              “If only I keep doing good arselick, with good luck, I will one day be of promote!”

              Seeing as he’s on the stage, he wasn’t completely wrong.
