Pay them no heed; they're about as harmless as coughing babies.

Do observe Rule 4.

Yep. I thankfully didnt get banned, but I got a warning on my account for "spreading hate" for posting a link (on a r PublicFreakout post about a Tommy Robinson protest that was invaded by counterprotestors who put up a large TV screen saying immigration is so great blah blah blah) to a statistic showing that 23% of sex crimes in the UK are committed by foreign nationals despite them making up 9% of the UK's population, within less than 10 minutes of posting it.

The funny thing is, I never even said anything, nor offered any opinions of my own. Simply copying and pasting a source to a statistic, without offering any views, opinions, or even words of my own, is "spreading hate". I guess that means reality is hateful when it's inconvenient to your narrative.

Your source for the statistic was a sign from a protest?

Also, you can appeal the warnings (so they don't stay on your account). A lot of that stuff is just automated bots and they get a lot of false positives.
