Which is stupid. A mod can just ban you forever and call it a day. Where the Admins have fucked up is if you harass a mod via modmail, they can only mute you for I think 28 days max, before you can start harassing them again. So, instead of letting a mod simply mute you forever, they created the report bullshit.

They recently, meaning I don’t exactly know when it happened, gave mods the ability to report you for “Abuse of the report tool”. For the record, I’m a mod on some subreddits, and that’s an absurd thing to need. I’ve learned a few things about being a Reddit mod.

1. It’s not nearly as hard as some mods make you think it is.
2. If they actually experience difficulty, it’s probably cause they suck at being a mod.
3. Subs that experience issues, are typically cess pools like r/conservative.

No, I am not affiliated with that subreddit, other than as a member.

I haven’t reached out to anyone yet.

Well, in this particular post, just me introducing myself.

Solid question. Since I just took over mod duties this morning, I don’t have a great answer for you at the moment. I still need time to read over the current rules, see what I think might need to be updated, and go from there.

So, be patient with me, and I’ll get there.

Great advice. Thank you!!

I understand, and I appreciate you giving me the chance. If it helps at all, I have considerable mod experience on other platforms.

Hello. Also here from Reddit. Just created my account yesterday.
