      Their original comment was removed because they accused another user of being a child rapist.

      The comment that got them a 3 day ban was for attacking a mod.

      You can see their full modlog here:

      Based on their history, I expect they’ll come back even worse and end up being permanently banned.

          It’s not personal, I don’t have that kind of time.

          Some comments don’t get removed because they simply aren’t reported. It’s not like we’re personally reading every comment in every thread.

          Here’s how it works:

          We have a queue of reported messages, we go through the list and decide if it’s infringing or not.
