Decline report

User throws a tantrum

Give a suspension

"Wow fuck these power tripping mods!"

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 51 points 2 years ago

It’s like you’ve read my inbox…

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

This is why leaving Reddit was easy. This was like my first interaction ten years ago.

[-] DudePluto@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Are users notified when their report is declined? Lol

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Not technically, no. But I believe users on Reddit can be issued warnings if they abuse the report feature, which many of them do.

Not that I would know, having not been on Reddit since June.

But I believe users on Reddit can be issued warnings if they abuse the report feature

I got a warning for reporting the comment-reposting bots. Basically their reply was there's nothing to report because it's not against the rules.

I never had one declined, and I was basically a mod of /r/accidentalswaatika with how much I reported rule violations.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I don’t believe lemmy notifies users if their report is dismissed. I started off messaging users and telling them what action (of any) I was going to take. But there’s too many of them now so I either dismiss them, or delete the offending comment and give the person who violated the rules a warning.

You know who doesn't act like asshats when they get banned? Spammers. Even spammers are like "yeah I get it" lol.

I have a youtube account and was once accused of stealing content from my own reddit account, which had identical usernames. Plus the reddit account had a link to the youtube channel and vice versa.

... but even tho it was a bit of a brain fart, I still appreciate that people are looking out for potential content thieves. I'm not even mad - I'd rather get a false positive every now and then instead of having my content stolen (again).

No idea why this is just a screenshot of a Word document but the source is this.

42_words was (is?) a user who ran a sub of the same name. Every post, including this one, had 42 words. So does this comment.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 49 points 2 years ago

The photo is literally a screenshot of that tweet, just not in dark mode. Why on earth would it be from a word document?! Or was that addition purely so you could make your comment 42 words long? Like this one is.

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 years ago

The average lemmy user probably forgets that light mode exists on twitter.

[-] nogrub@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i forget that twitter or whatever we call it now even exists

edit: im now calling it twix

[-] orphiebaby@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Don't tarnish the delicious name of Twix :<

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hey, we only accept responses that are 42 words long in this thread. You best try again.

Hmm, wonder what else I can say to get this to 42 words. Wouldn't you know it, this is just enough to make it work.

Reminds me of the time I got into an argument on Twitter, and I asked someone for proof of something, and they sent me a screenshot of a Wordpad document. I said I was born in the afternoon, but not that afternoon.

[-] BigMcLargeHuge@lemmynsfw.com 41 points 2 years ago

I run a porn community and one of my posts got reported for being NSFW. On an NSFW community. On an NSFW instance. I don't know what they were expecting.

[-] amio@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Probably, neither did they.

[-] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I mean, were they wrong?

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What instance? Asking for biological research

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just click their profile lol

That's like the people who were outraged about Snoop Dogg smoking weed before the superbowl halftime show.

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

Now do the right thing and block yourself from the sub you are moderating.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 24 points 2 years ago

Funnily enough you can’t do that. You also can’t remove yourself as a mod if you created the community.

Literally subreddit suicide

[-] Transcriptionist@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Image Transcription:

Black text on a white background reading:

"So somebody just explained to me how what I'd just posted to a subreddit wasn't suitable for that sub.

I replied that, as the creator, moderator and basically only contributor to said subreddit, I respectfully disagreed.

And he reported me.

To me."

[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please consider providing alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You are prolific with this. I see you as much as I used to see sprog and portarossa

[-] Transcriptionist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, I don't think I'm that prolific, but I appreciate it.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, text as image is dumb. Why do people do that?

[-] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Easier to share a post with words on it than to copy paste things everywhere? Also makes context that much easier, too.

[-] Transcriptionist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Personally I'd prefer a screenshot of a post than just a copy-paste of the post, easier to see the context, etc., and I'm also more aware that it's not the OP's take, but something they saw.

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 22 points 2 years ago
[-] neveraskedforthis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Reply with "Appropriate actions will been taken, thank you for your report" and sticky the post.

[-] Kowlown@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

He has a point though

[-] BoldRaven@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

How'd things work out? Please don't leave us all hanging here my Lems

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

The original commenter never realized he was getting trolled.
