It's been a year...

[u/Dro1972]

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.

Hi dro.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to report you under the MODCOC rule 5 for lacking integrity and posting a post that violates rule 13 of this subreddit. That is what rule 5 means and I’ve never been wrong about anything in my life.

You will be hearing from my lawyer soon, for violating my rights by power tripping and violating my first amendment rights because I know you will ban me for breaking your clearly written rules that I totally read. I’m not just making things up here to make up for my mental deficiencies.

My dad is the CFO and I own mad stocks, meaning I’m a shareholder. Idk if you heard but there is a shareholder meeting tomorrow and you are not privy to the meeting notes. You will rue the day you ever came across my feed with this post.

Signed, Nancy Clemons.

Ps you’re (insert slur here) and I’ll (violent threat.)

It's been a year and rule 4 still has all starting letters capitalized in it when the other rules do not

Subreddit is ruined forever!

[u/Dro1972 → u/SuperBeavers1]

Fixed it for you. Enjoy.

[u/Jenn_There_Done_That → u/Dro1972]

But what will I complain about now??? 😭

[u/Stranger1982 → u/SuperBeavers1]

Pretty sure that’s against rule two of MCoC too.

I’m so glad for this sub because it makes me feel sane! It was kindly recommended to me from another moderator who champions an awesome subreddit that gives me daily entertainment, and I am thankful for this type of reprieve in my day.

[u/Dro1972 → u/goldstandardalmonds]

You just summed up exactly why we're here. And we're absolutely glad you are!

[u/wheres_the_revolt]

Hell yeah! Gawd had it been a year?

[u/Dro1972 → u/wheres_the_revolt]

Yup. Longest power trip ever.

[u/cnycompguy]

Subs need cake days.

[u/westcoastcdn19]

So happy for you guys <3

I’m actually quite happy with it staying a small and close knit group

[u/Dro1972 → u/westcoastcdn19]

Me too, for real. But the longer we go the more we discover the mod experience here is fairly universal, so we'll never exclude anyone who wants to share the craziness.

[u/wheres_the_revolt → u/westcoastcdn19]

Me too! It’s like a fun secret club. We should have a secret handshake now that I think about it.

[u/Yourdataisunclean]

There really haven't been any r/modmailfail modmailfails? I guess thats not that surprising.

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/Yourdataisunclean]

Make an alt and go crazy

[u/Calm_Researcher9172]

There are rules? And there are descriptions with those rules? Where?

😂

[u/risen87 → u/Calm_Researcher9172]

I never read the rules before I post or comment in a community. What kind of neckbeard does that?

[u/Furryb0nes]

Right on.

I get tickled when a MMF from a new sub posts.

[u/ohhyouknow → u/Furryb0nes]

Stupid porn brain ruins this acronym for me every time.

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/ohhyouknow]

Same, so I need a translation of what it actually means

[u/Jenn_There_Done_That → u/ALazy_Cat]

Me too. I don’t know what it means and I mod with FurryBones. My Mod Friends?

Oh wait! As I racked my brain for acronyms I realized I’m an idiot. It’s Mod Mail Fail. The name of this subreddit.

I’m going to be honest. I’m tired of acronyms. Just type it out. Please. As an old, I’m begging you.

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/Jenn_There_Done_That]

Thank you so much. It does seem very obvious now that it's pointed out

[u/Jenn_There_Done_That → u/ALazy_Cat]

I was laughing at myself when it finally clicked in my brain. 😂

That being said. Fuck acronyms.

[u/Stranger1982 → u/ohhyouknow]

Glad I’m not the only one with that mindset.

[u/shiftingsmith]

Thank you so much for this space, it's a godsend to contextualize and feel we're not alone ❤️

Now excuse me, I need to go back plotting my master evil plan as a corp shill and cult leader on a power trip!

[u/therealstabitha]

Having this place to be witnessed (and also to witness others) receiving these bonkers fucking interactions is a blessing and really helps to keep everything in perspective. Thank you.

Everyone here is cool and I bet you’re all good-looking, too.

[u/Furryb0nes → u/therealstabitha]

I’m fuckin hella adorable. 😁

[u/Verdictafterward]

This sub bolsters my spirits as a moderator and I really appreciate the community we have developed in commiserating together ❤️

[u/welding_guy_from_LI]

I love the unhinged posts .. maybe one day I’ll get my first post here..😂

[u/uphatbrew]

Thanks for the laughs, it keeps us from crying after a days worth of hateful trolls vulgar harassing mod mails…

[u/Stranger1982]

We love each of you.

[u/Dro1972 → u/Stranger1982]

We love everyone but you.

[u/Stranger1982 → u/Dro1972]

That’s the spirit!

A toast to many more years of power tripping and free speech violations!

[u/thepottsy]

Thanks for providing a safe, and well moderated place for us to blow off a little steam.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I wouldn’t be surprised if prior to finding this sub a lot of mods wondered “Do all mods deal with this bullshit?”. I know I did lol.

[u/Wombat_7379]

One of my favorite subs on all of Reddit! Thank you for giving us a space to laugh and commiserate!

[u/Arcing_Invention]

This post breaks rule 2. /s

[u/NefariousnessJaded87]

Talk about power tripping - One year, congrats on the great success and the endless laughs. This sub makes it all worth it.

[u/DidiDidi129]

Thank you!

[u/GirlWithWolf]

Congratulations and thanks for the sub. Posting these here seems better than sending them out to clean. (Only a specific demographic will understand that reference.)

[u/Dro1972 → u/GirlWithWolf]

LOVE that show!!!!

[u/GirlWithWolf → u/Dro1972]

Me too! About this time every Wednesday my anxiety is through the roof.

[u/ASD2lateforme]

I like this sub but i do think there are a lot of posts where the modmail fails from both directions.

When mods bait these imbaciles and rise to their shitty behaviour it just makes it worse for the rest of us to moderate our subreddits.

Feeding the trolls is never the one.
