Well I was banned from TrueOffMyChest. I posted "I'd rather have freedom with 5k then be a slave with 10k" with barely any upvotes and about 10 comments. I think they deleted my first post, and I think it was because I said specifically "I'd rather have freedom even if it means I'm poor so I would rather have 5k than to be a slave with 10k." <br>I went on chambers, and there I was, banned for a week for violating the rules: <br>"Please report this post if you think it's breaking our rules \- don't downvote into oblivion. Reporting posts is, in most cases, more productive than using downs."<br><br>What? I asked, wrong move. <br>I got another message, with a more substantial reason for the ban, with a message from the moderators themselves, <br>"The reason you've been banned is that your post falls under the criteria of (although not explicitly mentioned) \- \*\*posts with a history of being spammed and repeated to \*\*exhaustion\*\* i.e. \- "I'd rather be free than rich" \- "I'd rather be free than have a better healthcare system" \- etc."<br><br>I really REALLY hate it when people on chambers try to sound like they're actually smart. So what, "I'd rather be free than rich" and "I'd rather be free than have a better healthcare system" is a crime? <br>I looked through, and this REALLY was a thing with some of the people with this kind of take. However they were changing the description of the post to something like Id rather be rich and free than poor and a slave, and wrong move, banned. However, they didn't ban me for posting something like that, they banned me because they thought I spammed something like that. Especially since the description was identical and the title was the same. And I even looked at the top voted posts, and their was actually a post with the same title, and a little over 11k upvotes. Well, I thought, even more reason to think I'm a spammer. Id rather be free than rich was a thing. Well, not anymore.
