Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

I got several bans for the same kind of thing.

didn't realize that clearly quoting somebody else's words so they could be discussed was me saying and meaning those words myself

First time is got a temp ban was when I said it was a pity that the Butler shooter missed. When I was back, I told to the story of why I had been banned, and bam! Got banned again for quoting myself. Reddit is totally insane.
