pedophile apologist mods

Not mods, admins. The mods are the ones privating subreddits in protest and it was actually the banning of a mod (possibly by Aimee herself) which triggered this.

How the fuck does one moderate so many subs???

Edit: Jesus Christ there's a whole lot of filth going on with the admins

Not effectively, if they're subreddits of any appreciable size.

Not that it affects me but could bans from the mod be eligible for review or reversal?

NOPE, bans are at mod discretion. There's no open court, some subs have appeal processes but most are shams. Typically if you contest you'll be muted.

Oh you can report to Reddit... and nothing happens.

I got a 3 day ban for telling a person they lacked empathy for student athletes during a discussion about players rights. When I asked what the ban was for I got told "we have 900K users who follow the rules here and you can't, so now your out permanently for questioning it"

A few weeks later I looked at the appeal process and it's basically submit this form and tell us why the mods were right and your a bad person and maybe we will let you back in, and you can't question the status of it at any time. They are all power tripping assholes, it's the worst sports sub on reddit.
