I once posted a genuine question there: "Do you think /r/thenetherlands is an echo chamber?"
"[Your post was removed for being off topic]"
Oh well. Now I just don't use reddit anymore. My life is better because of it.
You're question does seem too meta and pointless. It's just a sub about Dutch news and stuff.
Speaking as someone who used to be the main moderator for a country sub (albeit a smaller one), at a certain point you just go numb and stop justifying your actions (you still communicate it with other mods and they see your ban reason, not visible to the user). That being said, I did enforce one or two temporary bans before handing out permanent ones.
