Today, I got this:

Not on this account though. No, this account was banned long ago. I got banned on my alt account - /u/InterrogatoryBunny. 9 months ago after coming across a link on Youtube, I had the brilliant idea to make an alt account to test exactly how racist /r/conspiracy actually was. The plan was this:

Create an account with a subtle and not-too-blatant name to post with. Collect stories, articles, videos, etc. about Jews in innocent contexts that I found while browsing the internet. Apply overtly racist overtones to the post, both with titles and comments. Post them to /r/conspiracy, carefully controlling who I told about the posts so the response was as accurate as possible.

It did better than I expected. Many of the more 'blatant' and ridiculous posts were downvoted, but a few of my links got over 100 net upvotes.

The comments were also unsurprising, with brilliant moments such as:

Top posts:

'A Jew owns reddit' - 297 upvotes, 142 net upvotes

'The guy who shot Lee Harvey Oswald was Jewish' - 87 upvotes, 30 net upvotes.

'The FBI investigated the Jewish Defense League for extortion' - 121 upvotes, 90 net upvotes

Sadly, it seems like my last post pushed it over the top. It was just too blatant. Several users called me out for repeated cases of racism, and about a day after posting it I received a ban message.

However, I don't think for one moment that the /r/conspiracy mods actually banned the account for racism. I think that someone tipped them off. Admittedly, I bragged a bit about my account in an open chat room with almost 90 people in it. Someone noticed. A week ago, I got this message on IRC:

[14:45] <XfhGe485> I know what you're doing

[14:45] <BipolarBear0> ?

[14:45] <XfhGe485> Don't play dumb.

[14:45] <BipolarBear0> Do I know you?

[14:45] <XfhGe485> I know you have an account named InterrogatoryBunny, and that you're using it to discredit /r/conspiracy and make us look like lunatics.

[14:46] <BipolarBear0> wtf are you talking about? /r/conspiracy does that well enough on its own

[14:46] <XfhGe485> Don't think you can pull your fucking shill bullshit on us. I told the /r/conspiracy mods. You're gone.

[14:46] * XfhGe485 (~XfhGe485@IPREDACTED) Quit

Conclusion: I made an account to post overtly racist stuff to /r/conspiracy. They ate it up. I eventually got banned not because /r/conspiracy cares about racism, but because they knew I was from this subreddit.
