It’s funny how you’re always policing me and not the thousands of other people that are posting much worse things. I’d be happy if there was a version where I can just see links, comments and add posts to favourites. That’s all I need really.

Still, other people breaking the site guidelines doesn't make it ok for you to also break them, and pointing the finger at others, as if you needn't correct your own behavior, is unhelpful.
If you've gotten multiple moderation responses, the likeliest reason is that you've broken the site guidelines multiple times. Btw, it's nothing personal—we don't know anything about you—and the answer to your "it's funny" is that it's simply random.
I'm sure it's true that other people have done the same or worse and not gotten the same replies, because that's how randomness works. We do our best within the quantity limits of what we're physically able to read and respond to.
