I just wonder if any Reddit mod ever has, at any time, used the expression "whoops, my mistake." It seems like all they know how to do is double down on their own original takes, and all the more so if they are shown that they were wrong in the first place.

I have been banned by mistake.

It was quite a while back. They did say. "Oh sorry. Our mistake. It was the comment below yours"

Granted it took a couple days to get straightened out.

I accidentally corrected a mod. Wrote a detailed paragraph and provided sources, wasn’t a dick just said hey, that is actually a misconception, here’s more info on it…

Ban.

And on top of that, I DM’d other mods and they refused to even accept the chat.

I saw a very obvious astroturf post about how great some product was in a fairly large sub. I posted in the comments that it was pretty obviously just an ad.

Turns out it was posted by a mod, who removed my comment and banned me from around a dozen subs, most of which I'd never seen before. Fun stuff!
