The time I made a dude go to the kitchen and make me a sandwich to reduce a permanent ban to a 999 day ban.

I’m convinced people just hate reading. We get about 2-5 of these per week.

I thought I'd treated him quite kindly, considering he's trying to BUY AN ORGAN and especially from people who have NON WORKING ORGANS. He didn't think so.

Thank you!!!

Hey... dro here. Revolt and I want to thank everyone who posts here, comments here and reads here. In 8 months you've all helped us grow the sub to 1000 users. That's not a huge number, but considering our target audience is pretty narrow I think this is more than either of us expected at this point. We're both in a couple subs that are 200k+ but this feels like a bigger deal for some reason. Anyway, keep sharing, keep laughing, and keep remembering not to use the permanent mute until you've gotten all the good stuff!

We love you all.

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.

Heya, so here's over 50+ modmail tropes that we encounter pretty regularly. They have been randomly generated across all the uploaded cards.

Here's a little bit of fun to use on the posts here. As more tropes are encountered more cards may be added. Until then, have fun!

And GOON. Global Officiators Of Nations.

I would like to invite any moderator who wishes to adopt the FAP to do so.

This is my new favorite modmail. It just keeps getting better as you scroll, and scroll, and scroll....

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!

User was banned for hate/bigoted comments that were reported and removed by Reddit.

Since there is a NEW sub brigading us, this dude crawled out of the cesspool two years after a ban to get "cred" with the NEW whining sub. 🤣

Just more ammo for adding to the MCOC of whining sub I guess. 🤷‍♀️

1 day ban for the sheer audacity. I'm still laughing though. This is the second most audacious modmail we got this morning.

Their answer to question #6 is the opposite of what Rule #1 states and is the bulk of the posts we need to remove.

Can't wait to hear what legal damages they think they have incurred over this.

Oh oops someone must have reported this user's entire comment history as spam... Who might that have been I wonder? 🤔
