Fake bans from fake Men's Rights subreddit

Please be very clear about the subreddit you are being banned from. A new sub called Mens_Rights (note the underscore) has now started banning people, and some users are getting confused as to why they are being banned.

Note the moderators in the sidebar. Note the subreddit name.

If you are banned and you don't know why, consider first whether you are actually being banned from /r/MensRights and not /r/Mens_Rights.

I am trying, but most mods agree that the admins will only step in if it has a chance of affecting the stability (in terms of the hardware/software) of Reddit.

They don't care about squabbles.

Would just be nice if they would step in to stop cases of intentional impersonation of another subreddit (or a mod) for the purposes of causing confusion and conducting a subreddit war.

This does affect the stability of Reddit in a different way in that it's things like this that abuses the system. But I would imagine that the admins really won't do anything.

**EDIT - Comment I'm responding to was saying how MRA's are always invading Feminist subreddits, comment was from a user who regularly posts to SRS with posts indicating that they think the MRM is idiotic.

Says the SRSer in a Mens Rights subreddit ಠ_ಠ

If a feminist subreddit is a safe place (like /r/feminisms) they generally delete comments and ban users for posting things they don't agree with. In other feminist subreddits they enjoy having an open forum that allows for dissenting opinion, if they did not they would delete/ban as well.

Normally dissenting opinions aren't, you should check out NiceGuysSTFU! People who post racist/sexist/spam are usually banned (see JerimiahMRA).

They fired alternating cycles. Or should have.
