Mostly misunderstandings/miscommunications. Not something like I did a certain thing every time, just a domino kind of thing, otherwise I’d understand a lot more about what exactly is going on. The ease at which people have been able to point to something and say “_____ is why you’re banned” kind of scares me into thinking something deeper is going on. That isn’t to say I can’t map out their supposed reasoning, like with the examples I gave elsewhere in this reply chain. Ironically and oddly I do get unbanned from half of the affected places, like this famous one where I was basically Jesused back onto the world’s strictest website.
You are a very special individual. You should take a composition class or something. So, people can make sense of some of the insane weird rambling you do.
You say that like you can’t simply ask me to clarify myself if you don’t understand me (which I say to everyone, in case this explains the bulk of my downvotes, though this abrupt message is the first time anyone brought it up as if that showcases great communication). I am a non-native-English speaker with some difficulty expressing myself, but I try my best and consider myself good enough not to betray grammar and hopefully by extension the ability to add up what I’m trying to communicate.
I’m not gonna take responsibility and try to be your wake up call or anything, but this:

This thought would normally cause someone to be introspective. “What is it about oneself which is causing me to get banned?”. “Something deeper is probably going on” internally.
For the record, I’ve only ever been banned once in my life for something I’ve done or said, and that was 15 years ago. There are ways to say and do things which won’t get you banned. I’ve been on many forums and participated in many subreddits. I’ve even moderated before. The fact that you have a written down online code of honor/ruleset (regardless of its contents) is a red flag.
On the contrary. I wrote an online code (I assume these are what you meant) due to the conflicts implying a war of unspoken rules. One would have reason to believe the rules are instinctive, and I wrote them as a kind of commentary that amounts to “where are these followed”.
The question I was asked in the first place was kind of a loaded question, and I was trying to answer it the best I could without calling them out on that. Asking “what have you been doing” implies it’s the same everywhere. For example, this is why I’ve been semi-banned from DeviantArt, which is very different from the Tumblr situation. It’s not impossible that someone is removed from several places in a repetitive fashion, especially when there’s a large number of people trying to perpetuate the effect (I did already point to this). Currently the only site I’ve been completely banned from without relent is Inkblot as explained in this comment chain. A mass raid, being attacked, friends of mine being judged for associating… at what point can I not call it karmic?
In the end, you could sum it up with the prevalence of unspoken rules.

Less word, more better.
I’m sorry one’s number of words used may have exasperated/dishonored you. I will shrink it down as much as I can, not that I haven’t already.
Holy shit, this is some massive turbo yikes.
How so?
