You and your site are banned because you were paying people to post. Due to the nature of the offense, neither you or the site will be unbanned.

Admin: http://www.reddit.com/user/Sporkicide

How do they know that?

Is it true?

This is speculation, but if the reddit admins have "shadow" accounts then they can check for opportunities of getting paid to post. They can also search the internet, various forums, ect for offers to get paid for posting on reddit.

They do what they want; they run the site. Reddit is discriminatory against content creators!

I mean like how did reddit find out what you were doing there on BTCtalk ?

A lot of the world is, I noticed. Especially when the content creators don't have a lot of money (or Bitcoin) for promotion.

I don't see how this being no directly related to my site means they should ban my site.

And my second question Huh

It's a shame reddit would do this without any warning, especially to a website that lives 100% off the donations of it's readers (aka no ads on the website). Messing with people's livelihoods for no apparent reason just irks me. What bothers me even more is that banksworstfear has free educational materials, videos, and action items that promote mainstream adoption of bitcoin & other cryptocurrencies. Blocking them is blocking free speech.

Reddit - why did you block banksworstfear.com?

Gee whiz! I work closely enough with BanksWorstFear that I know for sure that we weren't doing anything that could be considered spamming. Especially not when I try to "space things out" by posting links to unrelated websites too.

Not good! Did they give any reasoning?

NONE at all.

de-centralized reddit next ?

That's what I just advocated:

Were you spamming your website all over Reddit?

What do you mean? No we were not.

We submitted articles to relevant subreddits. one or two per article. In no regards should we be considered spamming as our content was highly relevant to where we posted it.

2,106 link karma
285 comment karma

Our posts were well received. 90% always voted up

Unless someone I don't know was posting. That's just ridiciulous.

Then anyone can go spamming a site they don't like and get them banned. What the hell are upvotes for if they think they need to filter out bad content by banning?
