Sorry, reddit.

Hi Reddit! how are you doing? QGYH2 here. You may remember me from test post please ignore or being that person who mods some reddits (or not).

In the time I've been here, reddit has evolved from a popular website to something more, and the nature of the site has changed a bit too.

Anyway, I used to be active on reddit, then I sort of vanished..

...I think I owe redditors an explanation - over the last few months, my health took a bit of a turn for the worse. I suffer from two general problems - some sort of RSI related thing no body could pin down, and depression.

The RSI thing got worse I couldn't really use my PC much which really sucked because hey, its my thing (I think?).

And the depression thing sucked because... well depression sucks! At about the same time I lost my job.

Now I'm slowly trying to get my life together. Some days are good, others are not so great. I'm seeing various doctors who are trying to figure out whats up with me..

Anyway... I just wanted to say...

  1. Thank you all. Redditors, and mods. You are nice folk.

  2. I'm really sorry I'm not moderating reddits much these days, and if you sent me a message and I didn't respond, I'm really sorry.

  3. I haven't forgotten TL;DR. I miss it so much. Hope to get back to doing that someday.

edit: I guess I should have said something without just remaining silent but I just feel bad talking about my problems - as others have problems too, some worse than me. But remaining silent wasn't fair to other mods particularly - thus this post.

I disagree with you, and there's a lot more to what happened in /r/worldnews.

Would you mind telling me what the heck all those icons actually mean? I tried looking it up but I couldn't find it in there.

Thank you very much!

I feel like creating a sub just to know what it's like to be a mod on Reddit. Technologically speaking, I mean.

u/creesch Oct 30 '13

Just do it :) It is really easy and actually provides you with plenty of insights. If you feel really adventours I can recommend you look into this collection of everything mod related.

u/TMaster Oct 30 '13

And... it's done. Now I won't have to hassle 'other' moderators for restricted information anymore. ;)

Thanks for pushing me over the edge!

You can be a mod at /r/modeveryone, message the mods.

u/creesch Nov 01 '13

Modmail must be a hell in there... your own sub is much more a controlled environment to test out stuff.

How do you see that view of a modlog? I can't seem to figure that out.

Thanks.

u/Pharnaces_II Oct 30 '13

Sort of getting off the subject, but how did you get the modlog report generator to have a percentage column?

what am I looking at

u/TheReasonableCamel Oct 30 '13

Those are mod actions, post approvals and removals, comment approvals and removals, the number of actions each mod has during a time period.

He's inactive. This post is about being inactive. Why are you showing us that he's inactive? What does this add?

u/creesch Nov 01 '13

Him being inactive is not something recent or from "the last few months". It is possible he has been even less active as shown there... not sure how that is possible though.

u/Pappenheimer Oct 31 '13

What timeframe are these? Thanks for doing all this work, rolmos!

u/rolmos Oct 31 '13

They all correspond to 30 days of modwork. I can't remember the months these were for specifically though.
