You can find complaints like that for any forum that's been around for a while. You should see what some people are saying about HN for example.
I've banned people a as moderator, and some of them have gone on to spread complete falsehoods about this. While I'm not saying there is not a problem or that all accounts are incorrect, I find it very hard to trust these accounts from random anonymous internet people. Especially not the type of person who goes off on rants that RaspberryPi is all a scam from Broadcom (or ... something) because that seems exactly the sort of person that should be banned.
Hell, one of those links was just a new user mistakenly banned because they looked like a spambot, which was resolved quickly. That sort of thing that happens all the time. Did you even read your own links?
I don't disagree that there are going to be a loud minority who genuinely did deserve a ban, and I did read the links, as I mentioned before though the links were only provided as a 'this is all I can provide short of you trying it yourself' as they tend to delete posts from new users who've been banned for asking a legitimate question. I was in a bit of a lose lose situation by posting.
