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!

36 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).

Makes a post about banning medical advice, accuses us of being pro animal abuse

After they were banned for saying we should stop medical advice and decided keeping medical advice posts is animal abuse (???), they proceed to make 4 posts calling us pro animal abuse, lying about them being pro animal care in every situation, and going as far as saying "So the moderators think brown people can't care for their animals? Racist as fuck." in their post. Not sure where race comes to play. Best part? Nobody believed them in their posts against us

Can we appreciate the skills it takes for two mods to write and archive at the same time?

And yes, it was getting out of hand.

Who could've known there would be consequences for using a racial slur in the post title?

How hard can it possibly be to find a title to a cat post that doesn't contain a racial slur?

"Go ahead and ban me" "come on and block me" 😭

The more they go on, the more we have to report so they can have fun with that wall

Another one of those bots! Their last messages included three different usernames.

They wanted to express more of their disappointment but it seems administration stepped up after they uncovered the dreaded "mod cartel". Or maybe they had enough of the beep tones too?

Oh well, at least the hotline is now free for other users.

This user was already banned once a month ago. They were banned again for insulting another user; and they proceeded to insult us. They also didn't learn from extending the ban to seven days, so a permanent ban it is.

Maybe I shouldn't have muted, this probably could've be an even better post lol.

Edit: The last two screenshots are the original ones. The first two screenshots are the same but translated.

I don't think "tag, no tag backs" works like that for harassment in modmail!

Not sure what their plan was but I decided to be the adult and just mute them and report them for harassment. If they had just taken the ban quietly for their bad behavior that would have been the end of it but this earned them bans for other subs I mod they participate in because I have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.
