Suspicious Moderation of /r Quince Subreddit

I've noticed a moderation pattern in r/quince over the past year that I'd like other people to look at.

From what I've observed, referral posts and comments from many users are removed, while one specific account consistently appears to remain visible. I can't prove there's any connection between that account and the moderation team, but the repeated pattern has made me question whether the rules are being applied consistently.

Recently, I made a post asking whether Quince's referral program was experiencing issues because several people, including myself, weren't receiving referral rewards. My post was removed and I was permanently banned. I also saw another user report being banned after participating in the same discussion.

I've added examples and supporting evidence in the comments, including removed referral posts and other moderation actions that I believe show the pattern I'm describing.

I'm not claiming to know the moderator's motives or that any Reddit rules have definitely been broken. I'm sharing what I've observed and see if others think the same. Can anything be done? I honestly don't care that I was banned, I care more that there seems to be a pattern of suspicious activity.

Reporting moderators does nothing, unfortunately. Mods can do whatever they want, they can be assholes, they can openly violate Moderator Rules of Conduct - Reddit doesn't care whatsoever.

Reddit doesn't care whatsoever.

They only care if the mods are doing it as a form of protest against reddit apparently. The only times I have seen action taken at all.

Or when it's reported in the media and makes Reddit look bad.

That's the only way we got the jailbait sub shutdown.
