It seems likely the reason each one banned him is the same reason their every post and comment is sitting at < -25. People detest the anti-democrat messaging and the way it’s delivered. It’s undeniable that this user rubs enough people the wrong way that they get a lot of attention for that alone.
During an election year especially, I expect better of any social media website than to just let this shit happen.
Right, but is the report about the link/article or the person submitting it? If it’s reported for anything under rules 3 or 4 I’d argue we all know damn well it’s not Newsweek that’s being reported.

Reddit bans everyone though, that’s not a good marker. ;)
From a modding perspective, I look at it like this:
“Would this link be allowed if it were anyone OTHER than Monk posting it?”
Yes? It stays. I’m sorry you don’t like it, but it’s a valid link from a valid source.
Yeah, I don’t really understand the idea that a long history of a certain type of toxic behavior doesn’t count for anything. I think it should.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think anyone’s complaining about the articles.
Oh, we get reports on the articles themselves ALL THE TIME.

The point is that the user themselves is toxic to have here, especially during an election season.
