Blog Reddit Reviews 

On February 12, 2026, we filed six formal complaints with Reddit through every available channel — Moderator Code of Conduct, Community Harassment, Trademark, and UK Online Safety Act. We submitted a 14-page formal complaint, US trademark certificates, and documentation of 35+ enforcement actions across 16+ platforms proving $770,000+ in harm caused by two moderators of r/BlytheDolls who have run a coordinated defamation campaign for 46 months.

One moderator personally owns an attack website and uses her Reddit mod privileges to promote it while deleting positive content and rejecting reports against herself. The site publishes home addresses where children live. She admits on her own site she cannot prove her accusations yet publishes false criminal allegations against a business with zero criminal record in 26 years of operation.

Every other platform reviewed the same evidence and acted. Medium SUSPENDED the operator's account. Google REMOVED her URLs. Sitejabber REMOVED her entire listing. A blog host confirmed her content was defamatory and took it down. 35+ actions across 16+ platforms — every single one acted.

Reddit responded seven hours later with two sentences: "We are unable to determine that the content violates local law." No analysis of our evidence. No review of moderator abuse. No acknowledgment of the trademark infringement or children's addresses being published. A template rejection without reading the complaint.

We are established since 2000, serve 100,000+ customers in 150+ countries, featured by Forbes, BBC, The Guardian and Vogue Italia, Trustpilot 4.8/5, Etsy Star Seller. Three customers directly cited these Reddit threads when filing chargebacks, causing permanent PayPal deactivation and Stripe account closure.

Reddit has an F rating on the BBB with 200+ unanswered complaints. This is not a failure — it is policy. They do not review complaints. Businesses targeted by moderator abuse have no recourse. We have escalated to Ofcom, the UK ICO, the FTC, the California Attorney General, and the BBB. Legal proceedings are being prepared.

What doesn't go wrong here? Unless you follow the narrative you get spanked. The site is over moderated with one sided thoughts.

Not sure why I am not getting any points. I sign up few days ago and i did some comments but no points so far. how do you guys get so many points ?

Tried to share a genuinely useful tool for Colombo Stock Exchange dividends, and the cocky mods (with a whopping -52 karma, by the way) deleted it faster than you can say “rupee crash.” These folks treat helpful content like a crime scene — overzealous, power-tripping, and allergic to anything that might actually benefit the community.

Friendly? Nope. Reasonable? Haha, don’t make me laugh. Efficient? Only at flexing their ban hammer.

If you want your posts nuked for no reason and your karma permanently traumatized, welcome to r/srilanka. Otherwise, avoid like a bad investment.

I am a new user and every post I make, in any category, is automatically removed despite not breaking any rules. I cannot post anything and don't know why.

Serious moderation is needed for some subs. But great place for info although.

The overreaching censorship, the warnings of you breaking rules that you didn't break, the social credit score voting system, Reddit is literally contributing to the social degradation of our society, and it needs to be taken down. Very few social media has caused the level of harm this platform does.

Snowflake mods that mod you and block you from sub reddits for anything

If you are not in a pot with admin you will get a ban. Pathetic

I suppose Reddit should pay for useful comments but not ban permanently each and everyone without even detailed explanation!

I had already 6.1k karma, 2.1k contributions, 35 achievements, more than 1 year on Reddit.

Nothing matters!
Moderators don't have any respect to the subscribers. You can be banned without explanation. Need to waste your time to find out what the reason was, maybe it was just because you used VPN or moderator had bad mood!

After you report some spam, nudity, hate comments/posts you can be banned also 😳

.. write to customer service which is absolutely not helpful, probably it's AI support, everything is robotic.

When you create a new account, you can't write comments the first 3 months!!!! What on Earth rules are these?!
They deleted my comment explaining that I'm a new user, less than 3 months account 🙄

There are many talented, skillful specialists who share very valuable information, their vision, time, experience which usually cost money!

Reddit has community awards for high-value comments, engagement, karma, etc. but it doesn't have any value!

Reddit is a big disappointment for me, wasting of time and energy.

I deleted all my accounts and not going to use reddit again.

Place for agenda advertising and nothing else

Reddit appears to be a place that while claiming a reasonable amount of free speech is anything but. There is obviously an agenda being persued on Reddit and any contrary lines of discussion are not tolerated. There is no consistency with how people are treated. Some are free to peddle any view they want while others are banned for just questioning those views. Foul language from some is fine while for others its not. It appears that the platform content is judged not by a overall policy but on a personal level by moderators who wish to display their views through the control of content.

Reddit is very toxic bro. Come on Reddit, your social media is extremly toxic cuz one time I got scammed in a roblox game. A lot of people was making fun of me, but not just any common bully. It's a very high tier cyberbullying because after that, he called me a 7yr and a random person called me a little kid and then I tried to confront, instead I get cooked and getting roasted by toxic. Like lmao bro, Reddit was supposed to be a community that talk about stuff and some nice tips, not toxic bro. Come on, fix your platform.

Reddit is trash ran by lazy mods and 99% by AI. They will ban every single account you have if you accidentally post on a subreddit that banned you over a joke. Even if you comment with an account that wasn’t banned, and it was an accident because despite hiding this subreddit, it keeps entering your feed. I sincerely hope the company dies a quick death and is replaced by something ethical. The app is overrun by scams, threats, and harassment and they don’t bother to stop it or moderate it .

Reddit claims to support open discussion, but my experience shows that serious, real-world concerns are routinely silenced—especially when they involve police accountability in Canada. Public reviews of police services have already been disabled on Google, and when users try to raise similar issues on Reddit, posts are often removed by moderators. I attempted to share concerns about how people can access information about police misconduct when all major platforms restrict or erase those conversations, and my post was repeatedly taken down. This creates a closed loop where the public is told oversight matters, but the tools to discuss it are systematically removed.

What makes this especially troubling is that my post was not abstract or theoretical. It was based on my own lived experience involving extensive police surveillance, the disclosure of deeply personal and sensitive information to a family member, and the long-term consequences that followed. These are the kinds of experiences people need to be able to talk about—carefully, respectfully, and fact-based—so others understand how policing powers affect real lives. Yet Reddit’s moderation culture seems to treat any detailed, critical discussion of police conduct as inherently unacceptable, regardless of tone or relevance, leaving no meaningful space for survivors or complainants to be heard.

By removing posts like mine, Reddit contributes to a larger problem: when Google disables reviews and Reddit deletes discussions, the public is left with no way to learn from others’ experiences with law enforcement. This isn’t about harassment or hate; it’s about transparency, accountability, and public interest. Reddit could choose to allow well-moderated, experience-based discussions on policing instead of defaulting to censorship. Until it does, its reputation as a platform for honest and open dialogue—especially on difficult but important topics—rings hollow. many honest and respectfully written posts about negative encounters with police are removed by moderators, often without clear explanations.

This pattern creates the impression that certain topics are effectively off-limits, even when they are discussed in a factual, non-abusive way. While moderators and platforms have the right to enforce rules, the broad removal of posts about police misconduct feels less like moderation and more like silencing. Reddit’s decentralized moderation system means that entire communities can shut down important conversations, leaving users with no consistent or transparent way to share real experiences that affect public trust.

When major platforms like Google and Reddit both restrict or remove public feedback about policing, it raises an important question: how are people supposed to learn about others’ experiences with law enforcement? In Canada, where public oversight and accountability matter, removing these discussions limits awareness rather than protecting users. Reddit could do better by allowing carefully worded, experience-based discussions on this topic instead of defaulting to takedowns that undermine its reputation as a place for open and meaningful dialogue.

Disgusting communist style platform where you're not allowed to post anything about anything at all because [insert vague excuse here]. Reddit should be banned from the internet. It has no place in a free western society.

Unjust; I was permanently banned.

u/Lumpy-Blacksmith1863

Fairly incompetent, jannies with a stick up their ass. You ask for your comment to be approved? In a default subreddit? Get banned permanently while the jannie with a stick up their ass reports you to reddit admins, which are just jannies with an even bigger stick up their ass. They'll then give you a 3 day site wide ban for daring ask their favored moderator to stop censoring discussions without a reason. IDGAF what colloquial term I call them, moderator, mods, janitors, jannies. That wasn't offensive, nor was offense intended. I'm intending offense here, because calling them "jannies" obviously got under their skin. I never intended that offense, but I'm from the old Internet where people discuss things, permabans are reserved for spammers/actual abuse, not a nickname for janitor.

I thought the information on the website is useful, but if reddit admins are gonna ban everyone for using old terminology, it's just censorship and authoritarianism under a different name. Don't expect to get your comments that are shadow removed approved, nor dare ask a jannie to approve it. The mods and admins would rather issue you template responses instead of actually addressing the substance of the matter. Or act "offended" while they mute you for 28 days so you can't even respond. It's bullshit, it's no way to treat a userbase. I've never received an apology nor even consideration from these jannies. L. Garbage experience.

EDIT: I've dropped it down to 1/5. Apparently, reddit considers it harassment to ask for an official response from mods. In a ban appeal. Yeah, right. A mute stick isn't a response, jack ass.

Reddit is really sad both quality wise and in their direction of moderation. Shame as they have a nice platform otherwise..!!

The platform itself seemed quite friendly to me at first. I used network for about a month, rarely engaging in discussions.

The other day, I stumbled upon a group for trading/selling in-game items for a certain interesting for me game between players and posted 'I want to buy'-offer for a specific item.
About 15 hours later, I posted another buy-offer for another item, but the post was automatically blocked by the subreddit - as it later turned out, the subreddit's rules don't allow more than one buy/sell offer to be posted in 20 hours.

I received a warning from the subreddit, but a couple of minutes later, I discovered that Reddit itself had shadowbanned me.
Before I even realized what was happening, I managed to ask a subreddit moderator to unban me, but was told I had no restrictions and that Reddit gave me shadowban.

Reddit won't send you a shadowban notification by email, so you'll have to spend your time figuring out what happened.
The official position is that this is done to combat spammers and bots, but ultimately, a HUGE portion of new users are being targeted.

I filed an appeal against the ban, and I read that moderators can take anywhere from A FEW DAYS TO MONTHS to review it.

This is unacceptable. I don't intend to waste my nerves on a long wait. A reasonable time frame for reviewing such cases should be up to several hours. Although that's still too much.

I'm ending my work with this platform, and given Reddit's complete disinterest in new users, I don't recommend using the network.

The disregard for users is exactly what Reddit deserves from users as well.
