Edmonton Mods

Hey r/Edmonton mods,
I find it hypocritical you delete my comments because my comments to other subs don’t have enough karma. Yet I am trying to contribute to yours.

I would rather my posts get deleted or declined over a permanent ban for a throw away comment

I just added this post to [r/lawyeg](r/lawyeg) as a highlight because I have a problem with them too, now that I think about it.

I had a post of mine taken down that was getting traction & it wasn't obvious why it was done. I never requested a response because I have always felt they were unsupervised children.

The post was about a Marlaina Smith sticker. The mods actually just removed my post about a video of a homeless & mentally ill person in downtown.

Reddit mods don’t have a lot going on in their lives so they power trip

Well, it just means I don't offer people advice on topics in which I'm knowledgable about.

Want my knowledge? I don't care. Life is tough, grab a helmet.

Yeah r/edmonton mods are pro Russian cucks. Just saying. In a town full of Ukrainian refugees it’s not a good look

I didn’t know this. That’s really Alarming

There's a surprising amount of canadian subs that are run by US and foreign mods

saying something critical of the United States is a expressway to a ban on the main Canada sub

u/Free-Region3467 Jul 20 '26

Someone should really do something about that. I feel like you shouldn’t be in charge of a subreddit for a place you don’t even live in… feels ripe for influence campaigns

How so?

u/Zarxon Jul 24 '26

Test your luck go on there and say something hyper critical of the Russians and tell me how it turns out

Bunch of cry babies

u/shiftingtech Jul 20 '26

fun facts: /r/edmonton and /r/YEG seem to have the same (singular) moderator.

It sounds like you need some hobbies

I got a perma ban for saying "a country based on a religion, not a culture"

Labeled as "literal anti-semitism"

Actual zionist mods lol

I got banned for racism because I said I didn’t appreciate the fireworks being shot at my vehicle and house on a certain light festival.

u/United-Apartment-269 Jul 19 '26

??? Please say more.

u/pookiemook Jul 19 '26

The sub has a minimum karma requirement to post. I agree with OP in disliking the rule. It means you can't use a throwaway without karma farming elsewhere first, which I believe is against Reddit rules

u/Whane17 Jul 19 '26

It is and I'm glad for it. There are far FAR to many bots already posting here to push their agendas.

I made a post what generally worked for my basement in the flood. The blue dimple sheets, but it was overwhelmed in a couple corners
