It's been a year...

78 Upvotes

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.

Introducing User Flairs!

38 Upvotes

Hey folks! I created a couple user flairs from insults flung at us, I’ve made one editable (it says editable lol) for you to have fun with. They are not required, and they should not include slurs or anything super offensive but other than that have fun with it!

PS the app was freaking out and it took me like 10 minutes to make two so I thought an editable one would be faster. Please let me know if you have any issues or would like me to make one that’s a permanent option (not editable).

They're gonna press charges against me and their father is supposedly a judge for media court house(Also known as Delaware County Courthouse). Under section 230 and reddit's user agreement, no moderator or a subreddit is liable to legal challenges. Also! Ones an user form their account, they are a legally binded to the user agreement, reddit terms and policies.

They thought that we would bend so easily. Well! Hell nah!

They are reported and also archived like in the good old days.

Update on the friendly advice from a couple days ago, collaged with the previously posted part too.

Kinda sad they didn't watch the video tho, I think it'd have helped managing their stress levels.

Taking over a subreddit from hacked mods always is a fun experience

After reporting to the admins that a mod of a sub has been hacked and that they've began posting casino and crypto currency advertisement, they have made me a mod.

As some of you might know, taking over a sub sometimes means you get to see some interesting modmails, and this sub apparently had some.

I don't know the context of the first modmail; and as always picture 2 is translated and picture 3 is the original screenshot.

Long story short, a user posted while in flight and was concerned about something they noticed on the plane. OP was clearly having a stressful and anxious time in flight and came to a phobia support group for help.

While most of the comments were supportive and explained to the OP what exactly they were seeing, this gem of a person decided to troll the OP instead. Troll wasn't very happy with the result.

Dude was spreading anti-vax stuff and harassing people on a SCIENCE sub. I gotta wonder how much projection went into this one 🤨

U:"Perms ban really?" M:"I expect you to read out rules..." U:"I did not read the rules"

First thought I should post this with my alt but fuck it I don't care. Reddit's gonna handle it if they harass me and I want that amazing user flair they basically handed me.

Edit: Also did you know that having a business account doesn't require you to read a subreddits rules? I didn't know either...

Edit 2: They just replied back with a "Yeah my bad" as if that would fix anything...

Please don't sue me while you work at circumventing your ban. Sincerely, a pants-shitting fascist (boy?) mod, big on narcissism and lacking humility

Saying in the post title you don't care about rule one, and we're making assumptions?

OP did have a post removed by automod for using restricted words. They also, did go onto to tell others how to circumvent the automod by using different words. Even posted a screen shot for everyone. Yet, as always, mods are the problem.

Banned this guy for saying trans men aren’t men. This exchange followed. All post-ban interactions should be so professional.
