In light of the /r/bestof drama, I should mention that /r/bestof moderators have been deliberately removing anything involving me and ignoring any messages asking why

Initially, this was submitted to /r/bestof. A moderator removed it, and I have no idea why. I still don't.

I contacted the moderators of /r/bestof via modmail. This didn't work. I contacted each of them individually via PM. This didn't work. I responded to threads where they were active. This also didn't work. After this, I was banned from /r/bestof. This demonstrates that they were clearly aware of my message -- they were just ignoring it for some reason.

This was my initial message, for the record:

was http://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/18yb1b/mittromneyscampaign_gives_an_extremely_detailed/ removed? it seems to be gone from the frontpage. if so, why?

Later, this was submitted to /r/bestof. It was removed. Fealiks messaged the moderators about it, but after several days he received no response either.

This has been going on for over a month -- nearly two -- with no response and a deliberate silence on part of the moderation team. I still have no idea why these posts were removed, or why anything to do with me is no longer allowed on /r/bestof. It seems like a deliberate effort to target my posts, rather than some rule I am breaking. If I have broken a rule, they've had over a month to say what that is, but I haven't received a single reply.

I've been waiting for a good time to post about this, and now that others have started focusing on the /r/bestof mods, this seems to be a good time to post it.
