From reading the screen shots you shared:

"We are reaching out to any moderators currently on the mod team who would be willing to take steps to reopen the community"

and

"If you have any question regarding your removal, you can contact the moderator team for /r/Piracy"

I mean, it's pretty obvious one or more mods rolled on you. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be argumentative with you, it's very shitty and Reddit sucks. We wouldn't be discussing this here if I was a friend of reddit.

Understood, I'm not saying this wasn't sleazy. Just saying that they appear to have gotten permission from x% of mods on the sub.

I'll make a French omelette in my non-stick, you can make one in your cast iron pan. Then we'll compare.

There's a reason professional kitchens NEVER carry cast iron pans.

It the admins on one server are assholes, they don't have the power to ruin it for everyone.

Exactly. One of the big issues with the r-site. There's only one community for any one topic and there are more users (and content) than they could possibly use. Ever tried posting to /r/ShowerThoughts? It's virtually impossible to come up with a topic that makes it through the filter. And it won't change because deleting 90% of submissions still leaves more than enough content to fill the page. It's easier for mods to just delete content en masse and ban a user than even engage in a conversation with them.

(I'm not picking on the mods on /r/ShowerThoughts, I've never interacted with them. I'm just using the sub as an example where the community is so big that an individual user is just an annoying gnat in the grand scheme of things).

Does it even matter any more? Tooth paste tubes used to be made of metal so if you squeezed from the bottom they would hold their shape and you could roll them up as you used them.

Now they're all made of plastic and as soon as you put them down they expand to their original shape and the tooth paste flows back into the empty areas. The world is just going to absolute shite! :)

Happens all the time to me. Kbin is like two months old. It works surprisingly well for how new it is, especially considering the volume that's being driven its way. A few hiccups are only to be expected. I just get back on the bike and start pedaling again.

More proof that corporations are nobody's "friends." When they latch onto a community it's purely for profit and marketing motives.
