>I would shift the blame back to Reddit here, because they exposed data to mods that are completely unrelated to the subreddit.

GP mentioned that he "commented a couple of times", which means that his participation in the other subreddit is public knowledge.

"participation" can take multiple forms. As far as I remember, I actually challenged some of the more egregious posts I saw on /r/chodi, but didn't spend too much time there, as who has the time to educate the whole planet?

If that other sub is so bad, then Reddit should ban it outright; why recommend it to users only to get them banned in other subs?

Because reddit is generally hands off when it comes to moderation. It generally doesn't replace moderators nor punishes moderators for their actions.

>why recommend it to users only to get them banned in other subs?

probably because the recommendation algorithm isn't smart enough to figure that out.
