Pointing out logic or science in emotional postings is also a sure way to get suspended, even if that logic or science is important.

my old account got banned for saying teenagers are socially aware & can tell whether their families are mean to guests or not.

I found out the hard way too. Sometimes I want to post a disclaimer. If your skin is thin, do not read beyond this.....

Same..... and once because a story of something made me so angry I expressed what I thought about that person and I got banned.

It does have a reporting function On the website I can see a list of options on the right hand side of the screen. About Us, Contact, Jobs, Advertise etc. Click Contact and you get the options to make: general enquiry, report post, removal request etc. On the app there is another route I believe. Either way Bored Panda do seem to have got trigger happy over the issue of getting rid of downvoted comments. That would be fine if we only downvoted the worst stuff but people get downvoted for some pretty innocuous stuff all too often. Too many people on the site to call for sense over it unfortunately. Most of us I'm sure are reasonable but it doesn't take many to take it over BPs threshold by the looks of things.

On the mobile device, there is like, dislike, and report. You can report for spam, offensive content, or copyright violation. All other apps I've been on don't ban people for dislikes, so this is weird to me.

Laura, the downvote is not a way to report problems.

That's a great idea! How do I send them a request?

Look at how far they go with censoring certain words. That tells you everything you need to know about their desire to have a site that is nothing but warm fuzzies.

exactly, & the subject line when your account is banned is "regarding suspicious account activity". suspicious?! all i did was make a comment people didn't agree with! having an opinion isn't suspicious!

I've been banned 3 times and it's always over sharing something from my past, from my struggles with addiction, parenting and cancer. Once was because i said my son slept through night at 6 months. Sigh

Not sure I'll be around to keep it going. 😅 Currently being downvoted in another thread for something I thought was super innocent and Ok (it always happens with the least expected comments apparently!)...

same i dont have the right hummor so i get down voted i have been band a few times alsso

Yep I am checking my 3rd account ( after a snarky mod comment about plagiarism, permanently banned me, LOL ) 8.5k points and permanently banned for... to be honest I really have no clue except ego's.... waiting for the 4th bann... LOL

Not yet...future hazy. Try again tomorrow... ;)

no

The e-mail they send you telling you that your account has been temporarily suspended even has a line at the very bottom telling you contact them if you think your account has been suspended in error. I e-mailed them FIVE times and heard nothing back. They could give a s**t about their readers and are going to start losing users.

Is BP run by like 1 person? Maybe they need more employees.

When I asked I was #1 banned from notifying mods and then #2 permanently banned.

Because BoredPanda no longer cares about many of its good readers. Instead of actually listening to their readers and making positive changes on this site to help moderate against hate speech and trolls, they have taken to using a automated moderating system which censors common words like d**k and automatically suspends the accounts of good users if one, count it one comments gets downvoted past -8.

Hello fellow 5-day suspendee. The system sucks.

Idk, because people keep downvoting after that account is banned?

Hey tara, that's the saddest part... they don't even state this policy clearly on the site. So I think lots of downvotes/ bans are unintentionally caused by newbies. That's why I've been posting reminders like this one sometimes... Feel free to repost.

Thought it would be a good idea to post this in several places so everyone knows. Feel free to repost.

On an international site you are going to get such a mix of people, of course you'll get people who can't take a joke. You'll get people who won't realise it even is a joke unless you make it obvious and they might think you are being unkind. Or there will be people who will realise it's a joke and simply not think it's funny and you'll get downvoted for that. We're not all things to all people. Without context I have no idea if what you wrote is funny but humour is very subjective. There are also people who come on BP just to downvote (sad I know). BP have probably taken the view that removing comments with high levels of downvotes is the easiest way to deal with them as they won't be able to look at each one. It's just worth bearing it in mind.

Fr, I've been suspended few times over sarcastic comments

No negativity allowed. This is a hippie love website where farts smell like cotton candy.

What bs are you talking there? Why would I be banned? None of my comments concerning this had -10. (Upvoting you for obvious reasons)

You do realize it is easy to make another account and say the same thing... right?

When you get down to -10 let us know what happens please!

probably because the people who call others "(snow)flakes" are the type to spout all kinds of racist, lgbtqphobic, misogynistic hatespeech & then play the victim when they're rightfully disagreed with & called out. i haven't checked your comment history to see if you've actually said anything like that, but calling people snowflakes is a red flag signaling that you discriminate against others. you proooobably deserve those downvotes.
