Agreed, the rules were pretty clear, why did he only contact the mods the second time?
Comment on Got Banned for Fixing Roku — The Paul Blart Mod Chronicles

I might be way to sleepy but I think I’m missing something here. The way I read it, the sequence is:
- you first posted something that got taken down,
- you posted it again and that got you a ban because you reposted
- you asked the mod who banned you why the first post was taken down, which of course doesn’t matter. You can’t keep reposting it until a mod allows it.
- you were rude to the mod and got banned
I see nothing wrong here except that you MAY not have been given an explanation of why the fist post was taken down

Some clarity: it was my first Reddit post didn’t know about the no trust rules until I got the reply and then found the auto bot chat message saying don’t repost. The first message I got just said it was removed and try posting in a different forum. A quick google search showed various fixes including “temive brand name ad it looks like promoting to a bot”. I tried that and the out stayed for almost 2hours.
When the mod said it was a reposting violation I asked what the original issue was so I could avoid the same mistake.
The “I don’t care I just haven’t power to do this do I did it even though your post is clearly ok”answer was my complaint.
With respect to rudeness, I’d say his comments were a bit cranky and had a “read the TOS dummy” vibe so I match his energy.

Yes. You didn’t know you had to read the rules before posting. Happens to all of us. But the second time, you again reposted without reading the rules. The “try posting somewhere else” message AFIK wasn’t even sent by the mods but a generic reddit message. Yet eve though the suggestion was to literally POST SOMEWHERE ELSE, you decided to post on the same community.
If you wanted to know why you post was removed, you should have asked the original and try to work with them. The second mod is following the rules.

Automod isn’t gonna negotiate with you. Stop simping for reddit mods lol

I’m not simping for them. But bad people can also be right. In THIS case, from what I can tell, the actions were justified. I do believe that is 99% likely that the original takedown was BS, but after that, op was in the wrong

You clearly do not understand how reddit moderation works. Unless mods actively choose to be known, your message goes to a general queue one of any number of mods can read, respond to, and hide from the other mods. Worse still, you have no idea which mod took action, and in this case it was an auto or AI mod first.
