Shadowbanning is the word I am not using because it's the wrong word. As I said, the bot would not punish the user in any way, it would simply hide the comment from other users.

Why do you think people should be free to call other users ni***r or re***d?

That was a fun rabbit hole! Thank you!

I fully agree, redditors also do this when a mod says, well, literally everything.

Yes, I do. Sending automod code in PMs is generally not welcomed on reddit, so maybe i could also use a separate site

> Reddit needs less censorship, not more.

Why should people be free to insult users using the offensive words listed in the code I fixed? The list is in the post includes words like the n-word and the r-slur, that doesn't have anything to do with censorship and such. Did you even read the full list?

> Would you be willing to share that list?

The link to the list is already in the post itself, you are free to view what words the other mod wanted AutoMod to remove

This wasn't caused by the automatic moderation of Reddit, the official Reddit Help Center says that "site-wide suspensions can only be applied to accounts by employees of Reddit and are done so after review of the actions and the context in which it took place". Maybe a bot flagged my comment, but a human had to review it.

> "automated moderation" isn't such a good idea

Why would people be free to insult users using the offensive words listed in the code I fixed? The list in the post includes words like the n-word and the r-slur

> You helped creating a bot that punishes users for posting certain words

No, I did not. The bot would not punish the user in any way, it would simply hide the comment from other users without even informing the OP.

I'm not sure if you're understanding the situation, the bot would remove comments containing the n-word, r-word and other very insulting slurs

> you sent keywords for hate speech via direct message

I didn't send it privately, the comment is (well, was) public and I included a link to it in this post
