I got banned from a subreddit because the BBC changed the article title. There are just too many rules and too many bad rules.

    It’s not bad rules, it’s bad moderation. They are way too quick with their ban hammer. And just wait until we get AI mods

      I think part of it comes from moderators being overworked, which means they can’t take the time to investigate or understand nuance or context.

      In this respect, AI tools could be beneficial if used appropriately, though current moderation practices do not suggest this is likely.

      AI mods could be much better for cases like this. Imagine the mod responding immediately when you try to post something! If it’s a mistake, you could fix. If not, it may never even see the light of day

      Taking this post at face value, an AI mod could have acted immediately, before BBC changed their headline, so op would not have been banned for this reason
