On r/wallstreetbets there is an automod that proactively deletes people's comments to save them from Reddit's Orwellian "Anti-Evil" foot soldiers.

"Reddit has a paid team called Anti-Evil Operations (part of the "Trust" & "Safety" team) which goes around permanently banning accounts for saying bad words. We made automod block them so you don't lose your account for saying a word and getting reported. It's not our rule, it's the entire website now, we're just trying to look out for our people. Sorry."
