Just a reminder that posts must include screenshots of modmails and ONLY screenshots of modmails.

58 Upvotes

In light of the whiney baby on Reddit help, I just want to remind you all that posts photos are required to be only of modmails. If you want to post the context (screenshots of posts or comments) they must be shared in the comments. I’m not sure if this really matters to the ModCoC or not but those are the rules we made and we would appreciate everyone following them.

Furthermore, I know the admins are aware of this sub and we are certain it doesn’t break Reddit’s rules or ModCoC so I’m not super worried about it getting got here, but I would be bummed if one loud mouth complained enough to make it happen.

Thanks!

PS edit: always redact their usernames!

It's been a year...

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in just a year this sub has grown from myself and revolt and a bunch of shitty interactions with nowhere to share them to over 1500 mods who need a place to decompress and laugh about the idiocy we see daily.

I think I speak for both of us when I say thanks to all of our OG members as well as the new ones who join every day and make this space what it is. Other than the occasional troll, this has been the easiest sub ever to moderate. Even when we've had to apply a rule to stay within the narrow focus we wanted here, the response has been understanding and willingness to play by the rules.

I genuinely believe this is one of the more unique spaces on reddit. We'll never have half a million members, but I hope we always have members that get it like each of you do. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our fun little side project into an active, engaging, and entertaining place to visit in a site that's often bitter and divisive. We love each of you.

They're unrelated, but the first was extra hilarious to me as they have autist in their name

makes a post violating the sub's rules → his post gets removed → the reason is clearly stated ( and pinned) on the post → proceeds to insult the mods in modmail over his own mistake 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I don't have much context as OP of the post removed it, but I think it was kids taking all the candy during Halloween

Man gets banned for history of hookups, evades ban to fake interest in his drum circle, and gets trolled out of the last word

After this brief modmail where he refused to acknowledge he was banned from our friendship finding subreddit, he took it to my dms (comments).

I'm taking the day off for the most part, to get some gaming done.

Just thought I'd drop this interaction I had while drinking my coffee this morning.

They'd never been to the sub before BTW

Just as I sent my reply, I regretted it, it would've been more fun if it stopped there, but eh, can't remove messages

OP races through denial, anger, and bargaining at record pace.

I assume they are in the depression stage right now, unless they further moved on to acceptance.

This guy came in hot and started blasting sub member comments with abusive language when they attempted to point out that he was violating sub rules with his post. Got removed and banned.

Got caught up in CQS filter, account age filter, adult promotion account filter, and potential sexual content filter - that post went straight to the trash bin and I never saw it.

The audacity to tell me what my rules are and to not remove their content again earned them a courtesy ban from all my photography subs though.

Edit: Just an extra $.02 - people who exclusively post NSFW and run adult content profiles tend to have a warped sense of what other people consider to be normal in the workplace or general public. Like, yeah, maybe you aren’t posting photos of getting pegged, but on the other hand I wouldn’t want my boss to see me looking at a naked guy lounging in some dirt. I remove clothed photos from time to time too for the same principle. Yeah, you are wearing clothes, but the bent over pose with your butthole peeking around the sides of a g-string might not fly at work.

That's a new one. Ever so sorry I locked the post to prevent further NSFW comments that I would then have to remove.

context: sipstea has acc restrictions - 5 days old with >20 karma to comment. and this guy wrote a big ass cool response to someone's comment and it got removed by automod , so he was asking us to let it slide this one time.

edit : we approved their comment 😄
