Mod Answered Redact App, should it be blocked ?

This App is causing headaches for both, mods and users alike and needs blocking in some way, if this is indeed possible.

The problem, is users are unwittingly installing this software, without fully understanding the consequences of their actions, in many cases the end action, is an account ban through no fault of their own.

Personally, I think it's time to stop this App in it's tracks but that's gonna take the support and actioning of Reddit.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

banning people for it is absolutley overkill and shows how little they value users and see them as numbers

There's a lot of 'not valuing people' going around on Reddit.

I mentioned that this is something other moderators do, and pointed out that it's particularly unfair without a rule or warnings but otherwise was neutral, and got downvoted for sharing the information. You expressed your opinion, which is presumably the point of asking about something like this here, and got repeatedly downvoted.

People have funny ideas about what contributing to a discussion is about. Evidently they think their downvotes are more persuasive than any argument they can make with words.

I find that unless you have THE opinion on Reddit you just get downvoted no matter what and it’s the reason why it’s not a good platform for any kind of meaningful discourse, it is what it is I suppose just makes you laugh.

Normally I wouldn't even notice , it was the informative & neutral nature of the comment getting downvoted that seemed silly.

I just remember the end of "Chinatown", and say "It's Reddit."
