and r/cpp mods just woke up, banning everyone who question (am I still allowed to use that word?) this lunatic behavior. For context: A week ago, someone out for blood put out a slander article referencing this amongst other things.

edit: After going on a banning spree, foonathan nuked the thread with "I am not going to deal with this on a Sunday". Nice

Hey, u/ss99ww. We did not go on a banning spree, we banned only one person, you. After removing the comment we're you insulted someone, I checked your history, noticed that you did not meaningfully participate in r/cpp outside this thread, and decided to remove someone from the community who'd only be there to cause trouble.

(And for the record, we barely removed any comments, just the ones that directly insulted people.)

I participated for r/cpp for a very large number of years, including quite a number of high-impact posts - just not with that account.

And would you be so kind to actually link to the comment you banned me for? This is it, for everyone to see and judge:

I’m not sure complaining on HN about being banned from a subreddit makes much sense.

[bun_terminator]

I think it's important context that this huge issue is being silenced on the largest c++ community

You were clearly banned for the comment where you used offensive slurs in reference to the author of a previously discussed blog post. I was happy to report the comment.

[bun_terminator]

It was clearly not - as it was not the comment referenced in the ban. That - again - is an objective truth.

It word in the other comment was also not a slur, but - surprise surprise - the objective truth, again.
