Banned that account for a legit comment but you conveniently ignore all the communists and anti-Trump, group-think, down-vote warriors. Maybe it's time to get paid for something other than being a moderator (level up your employment). It's why unions are not good; bad employees get to stay in their position regardless.

Agree 100%. You are far more likely to be flagged if you have a reasonable but unpopular right leaning opinion with a similar edge to the left leaning opinion with just as much “sass” as the response.

I don’t feel like it was always like this.

Not for that comment, but for the pattern of breaking the guidelines. Note the words "repeatedly" and "plenty" in my comment above. If it had just been that one comment, we'd have either posted a warning or not done anything.

There's another factor too: when we have reason to believe that the person has done the same with previous accounts, we're more likely to ban instead of warn. It's all relative though.

I know it feels like the other side always gets a pass, but actually, when accounts with those views (or any views) are breaking the site guidelines repeatedly, we ban them too.

If you see some that we missed, links are welcome. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here.

Your comment is noted and appreciated about the reason for the ban but OPs point is well taken - pro-Trump or right leaning comments that are very reasonable but unpopular positions to leftists here are more likely to be flagged, even when the original post they respond to is just is inflaming.
