      That mod is hardcore powertripping, lol. Why do people get so puffed up for being essentially forum janitors? At least 4chan mods could take it on the chin when the community made fun of them. Reddit mods have the thinnest skin and the arbitration skills of Judge Dredd.

        I got irritated with the asshole mods on AITH and gave myself a new alt aita_mods_are_all_incels. They really really didn’t like that, some incel girl mod actually sent a message saying she’s not and deleted it.

        Fucking tools the lot of them.

          One day, I had to tell someone that they should research pet safety before giving other people pet safety advice. This person was recommending people to feed their dogs things that are well known to seriously poison and harm them. Apparently, according to that person, all dogs can eat anything because their grandma’s one dog was fine.

          I responded with links showing that the food was in fact harmful, and a lovely mod banned me for “arguing”. It filled me with rage. Not because I was banned, but because the OG misinformation was still up, but all of the corrections were removed. Other people’s comments correcting it were removed, too. Fuck accurate information intended to keep pets safe, I guess.

          I hope that the random people who saw the post looked it up before trusting that person.

            Reddit went from “I append site:reddit.com when querying google for well-founded and nuanced info” to the opposite.

        That user is the alt of a well-known troll. They know exactly what they’re doing.

      I’m still not convinced that the /r/diving mod wasn’t trolling the admins with that post.
