Oof, I'm outside my edit window and didn't make my correct point. It's when people say "I was banned from _____ for _____". When people say "for _____" I take their word with a huge grain of salt.

Not even much to do with Reddit, it's something I picked up from playing video games: https://speculosity.wordpress.com/2014/07/28/the-lyte-smite/

Ah I see, you’re saying it’s very hard/impossible to verify the reason for the ban, so the given reason is especially low-signal. That actually does make sense to me, thanks for clarifying
