I’m in the soul stone now. Things like this are why I love the internet, but the fact that we had to ubsub from thanosdidnothingwrong and sub to inthesoulstone manually was a bit disappointing. This has been all the buzz for a week, you’d think the reddit data admins would have put more effort into it. ---

It took hours just to ban 250 thousand people. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > It took hours just to ban 250 thousand people. I thought this was interesting, they livestreamed the ban and it was really slow. Downside of using a NOSQL approach I guess. ---

Please unsubscribe from r/thanosdidnothingwrong until your ban is lifted. What’s this “please unsubscribe” mean? What will they do if you don’t, ban you again? :smack: ---

Banning doesn’t unsubscribe you from a subreddit and they wanted the post ban subscriber count to be half what it was before the ban. It didn’t work so well. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > So, what’s Reddit’s policy on socking? Can we expect all of the banned regulars to just be rebooted? They definitely allow alts. That said, there is technically a rule that you’re not allowed to get around a ban with an alt. However, this rule is rarely enforced. I’ve only seen it happen when someone flat out admits they’re an alt for someone else. And, even then, a mod for the sub has to initiate the process–and most don’t care as long as you don’t keep up the same actions that got you banned in the first place. ---

Well, in this case, the action that got folks banned in the first place was simply existing, so… ---

Again, I never got the message but I guess I was spared. Check your profile, you should have one of two badges. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/avengers-infinity-war-spoilerish-reddit-action/817246.md?page=1)
