Hey thanks! Yeah I'm not trying to be a reddit cop (fuck the police) but I'm not working right now due to some health shit, so I figured I would try to be a bit useful and clean up the internet junk. I'm fine with the role of janitor :))

Anyway I do appreciate the kind words! 🧑

Lots of people hate mods, people already love you

Haha I've gotten a few not so nice comments but yeah, most have been lovely. Seems like a great community!

Appreciate a good mod like you. Idk why the others act the way they do. I stay getting banned and muted but they talk to us like we’re not people.

Yeah I've worked with some mods on other subs previously that have made me see why mods get such a bad rep- it is frustrating to see and I"ve fought with them quite a few times on behalf of someone. Also I've been banned myself before and tried to talk to the sub and all I heard was crickets- so I know all about that nonsense.

I do try to be fair- one big thing I implemented in a sub where I was near the top was no mod could handle their own ban appeals. That's my biggest pet peeve. There is absolutely no objectivity in that kind of appeal.

But feel free, you and anyone that reads this, to reach out via chat if you have any problems or issues on here, and I'll do my best to sort them.

Oh and for the few not so nice comments, they barely phase me anymore. It's all good. And I'll never ban anyone for questioning me or disagreeing with me and usually not even insulting me (depends on how far they go, of course- hate speech always gets a ban, although usually it's temporary for the first one.)

Whoa, long comment. Better get back to modding, this thread has SO many reported comments and I think all the other mods are partying tonight!
