Its SOP a long time in this forum.
A good friend of mine got perma banned for taking on the CCP bots here (all rules followed, just a mod got really upset about it with enough CCP bots complaints etc)....mostly because he belonged to the wrong country to do so as well.
There was another case he told me about too. This in large part led to another forum being set up (and maybe other ones have spawned too) altogether.
They are a protected class here and only certain other protected classes (like Americans) are (nominally) allowed to challenge their stuff (Pakistanis are not allowed to vocalise on this past a point for most part, refer to aziqbal thinktank status taken away for example because of enough CCP bots complaints).
Things have deteriorated even more since. Even if a CCP bot gets banned for a while, other accounts are activated for the same person to use in interim. Whether its done with higher approval, I leave to you to determine (tired of getting into trouble about it).
Oh the report button is completely broken, dont bother to use it....maybe check like a year later to see etc if there is a change then.
I have reported posts that were extremely racist when I decided to join the forum....and they are still up there.
It gets people angry and gets people posting spam and crap to each other, and thats the bottom line here in the end as long as the overarching narrative stacking is not upset.
i.e This forum is about getting (certain) narrative results in the end (and generate as much toxicity + clickbait within that), rather than having equal consistent opportunity + rules applied to all....to actually have genuine exchange and debate of ideas.
My advise is to not care too much about it, and let reality impose blowback as it always inevitably does on this kind of system.
