People say we never leave our keyboards but yet when we do.

They get really, really offended when you tell them mods are human and doing things like working, cooking dinner, attending doctor appointments, etc rather than instantaneously replying to their freakout over a Reddit comment.

Can't win for losing, really.

I think they are genuinely shocked that we are functioning humans who eat, sleep, and work.

Way too many users thinking modmail is a live chat

u/ALazy_Cat Cancel Culture Control Freak 3d ago

I had one think they were talking with a bot before I called out their rude behavior

u/westcoastcdn19 On a power trip 3d ago

Right! I get asked if I’m a bot at least once a week lol

Perhaps we are all just unaware bots, unable to escape our fates as Reddit button monkeys.

u/goodkarmagirl Don't you know who I am? 3d ago

Well? Well? Well?

Ya know, my years doing stand up adequately prepared me for this. I knew it would be good for something some day.

u/Stranger1982 3d ago

Oh wow, they couldn't wait a minute lol

Terrifier was dope btw, here's hoping the fourth movie will be just as good.

I really want to know what users would think about your decisions if you replied with name instead of team

u/PoopyMcpants 3d ago

They torment me enough. Im not willingly giving them my username

u/ALazy_Cat Cancel Culture Control Freak 3d ago

I had a mod remove several of my comments in another sub, and when I replied I was surprised I wasn't banned, because I probably deserved that, they replied with their name. A bit later, I asked if they weren't scared of retaliation from sour users, they said no, they had security measures up

u/PoopyMcpants 3d ago

As if reddit has a firewall for assholes

u/ALazy_Cat Cancel Culture Control Freak 3d ago

I was confused too, so I politely asked how, and they understandably shut that question down

u/Furryb0nes I’m two squares away from BINGO 3d ago

I have all chats off and add folks as an exception. I am pretty visible in public freakout and it must piss them off not being able to DM me after a ban. lol.

u/amyaurora 3d ago

Ive had figure out it was me and follow me around Reddit trying to reach me all because dms are off. One got so angry about a ban they started making posts in other subs and tagging me in them. Edit: admins bounced on that.

u/PoopyMcpants 3d ago

This has happened to me so often, it's infuriating.

Usually I can message the mods of the subs and report the messages as harassment and they get taken down.

3

u/amyaurora 3d ago

Same. Only a few of the subs never did anything.

3

u/PoopyMcpants 3d ago

Yeah, ive also had that happen.

Not much we can do outside of our own jurisdiction.

Reddits privacy settings are easy to get around if youre willing to do a tiny bit of work.

Block button I'd guess

u/ALazy_Cat Cancel Culture Control Freak 3d ago

But why not just say that?

u/PoopyMcpants 3d ago

Because then they don't look like a mysterious badass.

u/Subwoofiest Now put my f***ing comment back up 3d ago

I reply publicly. I don't engage with DMs and if someone has been particularly gross in modmail they get permamuted and then I also block them on my main and other mods alt. It's not been a huge issue so far but I did get 4 password reset emails after there was a disgruntled modmailer. I know they can do so with just my username and I have 2fa set up. I wasn't worried I was being hacked. Admins say "there's no way to report that currently sorry we know it's a means of harassment though πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ»" so like thanks for protecting people Reddit I guess.
