So I posted a stupid meme titled "Remember who you are" about Siri in the iPhone sub, it got deleted for "Must foster relevant discussion". No Meme tag so I had to put it as Discussion. This meme did gain a bit of discussion on the meme’s topic, but alas it got deleted. I mod mailed to ask about the addition of a Meme tag, met with coldness.
(me) There’s no flair for memes so I had to put it as discussion and then it got removed. Thanks a lot.
(mod) because is not a meme sub simple.
(me) So where am I going to put my iPhone related meme?
(mod) how can i know? search for a meme sub, this is a serious sub for relevant post, not a place for kids and meme
(me) And my meme was relevant to Siri history.
(mod) this is a serious sub for relevant post, not a place for kids and meme
I made a second post calling out the mod and to see what people had to say, but that post got removed and I got banned. Next modmail:

(me) You guys are so stingy, istg
(presumably the same mod) imagine having to make a crying post because unable to understand the is not a meme sub LOL grow up
(me) No, you have it all wrong. I made that post to prove that your moderation sucks, and you played your part perfectly.
(mod) the issue is your lack of understanding, not a meme sub for kids, not that hard yo understand, grow up kid
(me) We’re resorting to insults now? How childish.
(mod) from the person who thinks meme are relevant? LOL stop wasting my time for useless meme and go cry elsewhere
(me) So let me get this straight. You are mad because I called you out, and now you think you can just insult me while I am staying civil?
What happened to Rule 5?
(mod) stop wasting my time for a useless meme
(me) You seem to be wasting your own time, if I haven’t gotten it wrong. You are the one who keeps "wasting" your time on this, not me. Your choice if you come back, but I’ll be waiting.
(mod) goodbye for good you are done with this sub for life
(me) Goodbye as well, unless you come back to waste some more time with this chat.
post limit sorry
AITA?
YTA – you broke the subs rules, knowingly it seems, and got pissy when a mod explained that fact. You then doubled down. I honestly don’t even know why you’d come here and post this
Theyre posting here in a vane attempt to try and prove to themselves that theyre somehow in the right. And maybe trying to somehow rally people behind them.
Toddler level crashout from OP lol
YTA kinda?
Obviously memes are not wanted in that sub. Just … accept that and move on?
The mod wasn’t nice but you started this fight.
Must be a very funny meme if you do all this effort
YTA for wanting attention and then crying when you got it. You crossed the mod and the mod fired back. Difference is they didn’t miss
YTA, take the L and don’t post memes in places where memes are not welcome/appropriate
“I broke clearly listed rules, was given a warning which I ignored so I was banned. The rules should not apply to me because I’m special”
Seriously? Are you twelve? If you have to use a misleading flair in order to post, it’s because a sub doesn’t want what you’re posting. That doesn’t mean you try to circumvent the rules–it means you go elsewhere. If you don’t learn this sort of thing and fast you’re going to get in a lot of trouble in life. Don’t be that special snowflake for whom everyone is expected to break the rules. YTA
YTA. You submitted a meme, meme got removed, mod told you it’s not a meme sub. There was really no need for anything further and I don’t know why you chose that hill to die on.
you have the right to create and share your meme. you don’t have the right to insert it into a forum where it violates the community rules. find somewhere else to share it, as the mod correctly said. YTA
YTA. You broke the rules of the sub. You may not like them, but that’s life.
You are fucking tedious and being willfully ignorant because you wanna be the main character and not wrong here, despite being clearly in the wrong. YTA
YTA it’s not a meme sub. Take the L. You broke the rules. It should have ended when they said it wasn’t a meme sub. Lots of subs have that rule. Why do you want to die on this hill?
YTA You broke the rules of the sub, and got banned for it because you wouldn’t stop. Many mods go on power trips for anything they can, but that’s not what happened here. It’s not for memes. It doesn’t matter if “the meme led to discussion!”, that sub isn’t for memes. You’re in the wrong here, and had a toddler tantrum.
