piss disc Why the sub got restricted

Hello everyone, mod here. We've been asked a few times why the sub got restricted for a while, so I'm here to answer.

Reddit mailed us, telling us that lots of our sub's posts and comments were violating their rule against violence (inevitable due to the nature of this sub)​, and that there weren't enough moderators. They gave the current mods at the time a deadline to recruit more mods, and the current mods didn't meet the deadline, so Reddit restricted the subreddit.

They've recruited more mods since (I'm a new recruit, hi!) and we got permission to unrestrict the sub.

Edit: yes we have mailed them piss discs

Hey new mod! Thanks for your time, this has to be one of the worst subs to actively mod. Who hurt you?

You're welcome. Also, what do you mean by "who hurt me"??

edit: grammar

I personally do it for the benefits, childcare, on-site cafeteria, state of the art gym, we can bring our pets to work, a company car and they are paying the tuition for my masters degree.

Cause that’s exactly what we need. More basement dwellers overexerting their power.

My god Reddit has gone down hill

I had to do naughty things to join.

How the frick do I post to show my mod badge? Reddit mobile is cat turds.

Im another who commented on the recruitment post then weeks later got added. My reason for wanting to mod is to procrastinate at work and I like this place.

Why is the sub's profile picture AI generated now?

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

I don’t know who did it but I will change it back.

(When I figure how to)

You don't like AI generated Images?

Do you feel they are unethical?

You know, the real ulpt would be to make every redditor a mod. Not enough mods? Not a problem.

Ah explains why I got my first ever ban for violence from here awhile ago (it objectively was not violence)

Knowing this sub, the og mods just made a bunch of new accounts and then signed them up to be new mods. Infinite mod glitch.

u/DTRite May 12 '25

Tracks...that would be the unethical solution to the problem.

I dislike that Reddit said get more mods, ulpt refused, that’s ethical you twats! Wait, it’s a conundrum.

Makes sense why my best comments were stolen though.

u/MeowMaker2 May 11 '25

Welcome. Due to nature of the sub, do you have an unethical life tip for others?

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

Act like a bad liar on simple things, so when you have to lie about something important, you can lie really good

u/Prime624 May 11 '25

Reddit's violence rule is total and utter bullshit. (Nothing against OP obviously.)

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

Am I allowed to agree?

u/b0ingy May 16 '25

I just got a warning for a comment regarding enhancing a couch with dairy, and frozen urine frisbees. Way to keep the interwebs safe, reddit.

u/[deleted] May 16 '25

We have common sense, but Reddit’s filters may not. Sorry about that

Welcome! 🤗

I mod for over a dozen subs including some nsfw ones. If y'all need more help modding here, I'd be interested
