This was cited by the reddit admins as the reason they have just banned my account, instantly for this single thing, I've never had any other problems on the account.

It was a joke. A funny one at that.

It is absurd because "nonce" is barely a bad word. Equivalent to "dummy" or "shite".

Reddit is so shit.

EDIT: My appeal just got rejected. Landlords are officially an immutable identity akin to lgbt people and gender according to reddit. Also "nonce" being equivalent to "wanker" is apparently meaningless to them.

I'm quite annoyed.

    Nah I don't think they are, I think the reason OP got banned is because she insulted the admins, and the admins are all petulant manchildren.

        Nah I dunno the ban messages are so vague that it could easily be interpreted as "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT ME, YOU FUCKHEAD."

          Yeah, but they still have various ban messages and they still went with this one

      How is it even an insult to point out the admins are all american and wouldn't know our brit slang? Nonce is incredibly British and barely known elsewhere.

      It's because Reddit has word filters now, at least in certain parts of the website that they consider a "problem". F*g/variations will also get you banned instantly via bot.

      It's very disturbing that "nonce" is considered hate speech though. Pedophile rights is coming next to the culture war folks, strap in, because many of you nonces will be on the pro-pedo side.

        Chuds have been saying this since at least 2012.

        I have yet to see an "accepting the GAYS means we should also accept the PEDOS" take which wasn't a bad faith chud/pedo false flag.
