Quick question

I think we’re looking at this all wrong. We've got the cause and effect totally flipped here.
Nobody is arguing that moderators should crack down on people acting like total animals on Reddit.
The issue isn't about policing bad behavior; it's about the fact that an entire thread was nuked. People didn't get banned because they were being trolls—they got banned because they were asking why the hell the thread disappeared in the first place. They had their posts deleted, and when they went to the help desk to ask for some clarity on their bans, they got hit with a permanent ban instead.
Look, you can't go around calling users bottom-of-the-barrel trash and labeling a thread a playground for morons and uneducated idiots without expecting a massive backlash...
