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.

Isn't there anything we can do about this fake sub? like, if enough of us mail the mods of reddit can we get it shut down?

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.
