Hot take: people keep saying "you have to be nice to get banned" and they're dead wrong
I noticed in this sub that a lot of folks think being polite keeps you safe from getting booted from Reddit or Twitter. But last week I watched a guy get permabanned from a gardening forum just for saying he uses neem oil on his roses. No swearing, no insults, just facts. The mod called it "spreading dangerous information." Has anyone else seen this pattern where mods ban for content not tone?

My buddy Jim got banned from a woodworking sub for recommending a specific brand of glue, mod said he was "advertising" even though the brand name just came up naturally in a conversation about fixing a chair. He wasn't even rude about it, just typed two sentences about his personal experience with the stuff and poof, gone.
