TL;DR: Look at the pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/hLKpO

Some background:

So two weeks ago, I posted a set of images that quickly went to the top of /r/cringepics. What I posted was a picture were someone on reddit had linked to a series of pictures they had taken to document every time they had won an argument on reddit. These pictures I posted of the OPs comment I carefully edited out all the usernames as per the requirements of /r/cringepics My post was #1 for over a day at /r/cringepics

The next day I wake up to find out I am banned. I ask the mods why. First, they tell me I posted personal info. I say, I did not, as all usernames were edited out. They claim, that because my images contained text links to imgur (the whole point of the post) even though I didn't include any of these links in my post (they're just in the screen shot) and if you typed those imgur links in, and then on the new image that appears (which was not mine) followed another imgur link, you could find a username. Confusing, you bet!

I continued to press the issue, as this was completely bogus, I didn't post any personal info. It eventually degraded to the point the mods were spamming me with youtube videos, and one mod said that my argument made his "dick hard" Another mod agrees I didn't post personal info but states they can ban anyone they want, and that's why I am banned.

Finally, a level headed (I thought) moderator appeared and said that he would unban me in one week. I waited two weeks, and assumed he'd live up to his word. When I could not post, I assumed that something must be broken, I know reddit's CSS sucks, so I assumed it was that. I asked the mods, they then confirmed the one week thing was a lie, and spammed me some more.

Reddit, is this the type of mods we want? WE CAN DO BETTER!!!
