Well, there is a difference between having a situation, where some comunities udo use automation tools to ban/unban and where the whole platform uses them.

Sure, but this was a little more than an automod, because it was based on what you did outside of the community, and banned you based on how many downvotes you got from other people.
So let’s say you got 1 upvote for your comment yesterday. Then 2 downvotes today. That unrelated comm, would ban you even if you had never been there,. had never posted in the comm, or even heard of the comm.

Well, than this automation tool was a piece of crap software poorly designed to mimic Reddit’s karma system.

Agreed. And like I mentioned earlier, I was a little troubled by how many were ok with it. Luckily I didn’t see it used anywhere else, and haven’t seen it since the guy left.
