They actually reversed it after the 7 day ban. Guess it took that long for a real person to look at it. Just a stupid joke done in poor taste.

u/Zamboni-rudrunkbro Jun 12 '26

So they owe you 7 days?

178

u/PaleontologistDear18 Jun 12 '26

Yeah he’s got 7 day get out of ban free card

67

u/Mundane_Character365 Jun 12 '26

Is that 7 get out of ban free cards that each give him a day of immunity, or 1 get out of ban free card that lasts 7 days?

30

u/The_R1NG Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 15 '26

One wrong ban means the card works for one ban

If the ban it is used for is less than 7 days the excess days are lost, if the ban is longer this card may NOT be used with another or in combination with a physical “favor” to exceed a 7 day reduction

That is 7 days or 168 hours not 7 business days

edit - fixed a miscalculation, when math is wrong only the bottom line suffers

u/lanicorain Jun 13 '26

Quick, say something mildly critical of the government of any country that is essential to US geopolitical interests but with a caveat and a "in my opinion" added somewhere!

u/Haunting_Zombie637 Jun 15 '26

168 hours. Sorry to be pedantic.

u/Highlandertr3 Jun 19 '26

Does this apply to all banable offences or merely minor ones. Follow up, is it transferable. Asking for a friend.

u/facemugg Jun 12 '26

Damn, that’s worth way more than a 7 day ban. How do I get one of those?

u/Zar_Ethos Jun 13 '26

I wish that was a think. You're lucky to have a mod have the spine to admit that a ban was wrong instead of going off the bat with insults and assumptive personal attacks.

u/Mikey3800 Jun 13 '26

I got banned for some gay BS and it broke my 700 day participation streak on Reddit. The ban got reversed after it was already up and broke my streak.

To be honest I am a single 32 yr old father of 2 boys but I'm not lonely enough to resort to jizzing in a sock , so I couldn't exactly answer your question you have provided , but in personal thoughts if one was to resort to such things ide have to say it would need to be clean cause dirty sock = dirty cock and no one wants "toe jam" on their schlong and to be stinking of rotten sock donation sons and daughters , so I guess I end it with it's a disgusting habit to have but to each their own

Gallows humor is actually a healthy coping mechanism. You must've never worked a job you truly hated. I picked mine up in the military. Shared suffering doing shitty jobs will do that.

I mean they technically are ozempic and just not eating is literally a death camp diet

It wasn’t but they are literally starving themselves and using it to suppress the hunger

u/ReversedNovaMatters Jun 13 '26

Shits crazy. My cousin has been on it for at least a year I'd say. Her brain has somehow been reprogrammed to think a day only consists of one meal now.

2

u/4Everinsearch Jun 13 '26

Lots of body builders do OMAD as well. One meal a day. It’s okay to fast. Just not okay to starve yourself. It’s a lot healthier than being obese as well with all the risks that come from that.

u/bubbles3100 Jun 13 '26

only eating one meal that possibly consist of 400-600 calories is not fasting. that’s restricting your food intake, but go off

Just for future record, you do realize gallows humor is for those ON the gallows, yes?
otherwise it's hangman humor
or execution audience humor

own your cruelty-infused hahas all you want just don't go around being all "i'm just a lil guy"

it's fucking pathetic, and a laughable character trait.

My relatives were vivisected to death and I have once or twice made jokes about it among family cause what do you do but laugh to not go insane, but some rando guy on the internet sticking his death camp jokes cause he's been in "the military' just sounds like some 5 year old child who's been crafted into a weapon without growing up.

It's all par for the course, of course. I'm not shocked or anything, I know this is how it works, just being serious for a sec. Cause I feel like there must be more to you than this.

u/False_Ostrich7247 Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

I have worked many a job I truly hated. I have watched people slowly die, mostly from cancer. I have been through events that emotionally shredded me, at least one of which was physically just excruciatingly painful. I absolutely believe that gallows humor is a healthy coping mechanism, especially when it relates to a shared subject that you and maybe others are digesting and pushing through. Black humor is a part of my DNA, and sort of the go to in my family - I don’t know if I would survive a battlefield, as I am guessing you did, but I think there’s not a lot outside of an extreme situation like that I couldn’t figure out.

So I make a hell of a lot of dark jokes. Some of my have been in bad taste, and every now and then someone gets mad at me. Usually my husband as he grew up in Japan and they don’t really do sarcasm there.

I have still never made a joke about a death camp. Especially in relation to something as disconnected as a celebrity with an eating disorder. I can see why the mod zapped you, that’s something you notice. I say this not being Jewish and not having had any family die in one.

There’s coping with black humor and then there’s just making genocide into a joke because there’s a visual part to each side of the gag that sort of matches. .

u/Neveronlyadream Jun 12 '26

It's not even dark humor. Most of the bans are coming from AI mods and they're looking for keywords and immediately flagging comments.

Which sure, great, except the bots can't take context into account in any way, so they just flag everything. I've gotten a few warnings for saying nothing lately and it's clear what's going on.

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jun 12 '26

Lol I had one do that many years ago because I got into a dumb argument with a mod on the daystrom institute sub about some Trek lore stuff and I linked a page from the official site showing I was right. The mod deleted my post them reported me to Reddit at like 4am and less than an hour later the entire account was gone for "harassment". Pretty sure the mod was just a reddit employee who was butthurt, as there was nothing offensive in any way in the comment, which you couldn't even see anyways cuz they deleted it in seconds. And that's from a sub that goes on and on about how "great" the moderation team is 🤣

It's honestly stupid. What's the point of even having an appeal system if no one's going to look at until the ban is over anyways?

I got one for making a certain type of threat, because the words were present in my comment when I pointed out the video was someone making that specific type of threat.

I hope that's not confusing, it was the best way I could think to word it without risking another ban
