It goes without saying, One thing that annoys me is whenever a topic comes up about someone finding something mildly infuriating and there is always that 1 person who has to decide it isn't because of x, y and z reasons

Like I guarantee, if I were to do the same it'd be on every post with tiles that were out of order, upside down because it's one of the few things I look at and shrug because it's whatever... but I'm not about to do that. People are allowed to be infuriated by things that don't necessarily infuriate you.

Any kind of Gatekeeping in general.... very infuriating.

Anyway see this post as an open invitation to vent. Comment below. What infuriates you? and what thing that typically infuriates others, doesn't infuriate you.

I don't actively discourage people from posting because I don't find their opinion is good enough to post

Like do you want me to just not moderate so people post porn and racist shit? Because I could just not and that is what you're going to get

I am talking about the kind of commenters who actively go out of their way to put an OP down deciding that somebody can't post their opinion of something because it isn't infuriating enough

The point is everyone has different thresholds of what one person finds infuriating, I expressed what doesn't infuriate me but I haven't actively gone a crusade to remove posts because I don't personally find them infuriating

The modlog is fully transparent you can see for yourself what content is removed and why

I suppose you just don't want people to moderate? I do this as a volunteer because nobody else wants too. As it turns out few people really want the responsibility of doing this shit, it's thankless and not for everyone

The amount of false reports I see for things that aren't a criteria to be removed people just do it because they don't like what was said

Those silently responding are doing exactly what I said I find infuriating, because something doesn't infuriate them rather than just move on and find another post they are actively down voting, creating a hostile environment for people who want to join the community but haven't yet because of how hostile it can be, it's elitest behaviour and not constructive
