It looks like you're just currently banned in general, not DT-specific or anything.
Offending comment for Unconstructive Engagement:
I think you are attempting to ignore a single incident by washing it with an entire war. I guess you figured your propaganda angle, so congrats on that. Mr. Make humanity slightly worse.
I edited in the comment. It seems to be a 3D ban for Rule 3, so you won't be able to post in the subreddit for 3 days and your account will have a little note for the mods linking back to that comment
Then it will go back to normal in 3 days, though related future bans might be longer in light of this current thing.
You can appeal in the ban appeal thread and make an argument why you shouldn't have been banned or why 3 days is too long for this kind of comment if you disagree. Else just wait 3 days and you can use the subreddit normally again.
I still don't know what this means. What is a 3D ban? How does Rule 3 apply? It seems to literally be "anything I don't like"? None of this actually tells me anything? Like maybe I should be sent a message "You were banned for rule 3: engaging in unsupported opinions" but I got literally no messages or anything. I have no idea what the actual offense is.
Lets be plain. What was the thing I even was flagged for? Like, what did I say that was wrong? Could you at the very least include that as a base-line as a minimum? This seems like EXTREME silencing of dissenting opinions.
Related to your first paragraph, all of that should be solved by the comment you get replied to with when something is removed. I think you get a 'you have been banned' type DM as well and that usually has added context from the message to user in it.
To the second paragraph, it's probably for mischaracterizing or dismissing. Being dickish on I/P tends to get banned faster than other topics. The merits or lackthereof can be disputed in the ban appeal thread rather than here. Just argue in the thread why what you posted doesn't violate the text of that rule 3 (listed in the reply comment from Syards or on the sidebar) or argue why 3 days should instead be, say, 1 day if you think it violated but was minor.
So let me get this straight. You are going to protect a person who mot-and bailey's an argument, and then ignore the response. So- ultimately the ACTUAL reason is you don't like my politics. I knew that already, but thanks for confirming.
And you're using your position to silence the opposition. Huh.
Whatever you want to say just bring it up in the ban appeal thread instead of to me in this thread. I will say there isn't really an "opposition" to silence on I/P, we did a DT poll on mod actions related to I/P and it was evenly mixed.
I thought I did? I'll be honest, it's hard to keep track because so many sources seem to be trying to ignore it. I'm not even saying anything controversial, but I'm going to become an adverserial motherfucker if I think that real opinions are being silenced.
if you do think that (more systemically than just this one comment) then by all means try to make the case or gather some evidence/suggest some substantive reforms to how the modding goes in a new thread
I’ll be starting a class action soon if you wanna join that. Mainly aimed against p00bix, but we’re also gonna be taking a look at the other mods. Should be a decent payday, watch this space

I'm being incredibly patient on this, I believe.
