Forgettable posted...

you're talking about this post, right?
lmfao if this is literally the post.

I've found that some subreddits are just really petty with their rules (ELI5 is a good example, sometimes Mildly Interesting), but for the most part my experience with mods there has been positive.

Examples:

  • I post on Casual Conversation relatively often. Was dumb, got baited by a troll, lost my temper, said some mean things. Moderators banned me outright. I apologized, accepted their decision but requested that they review my posting history to confirm that I rarely, if ever, act out like that. The moderator got back to me within an hour and agreed that I was just overreacting to a troll post and reduced the ban to a 7 day suspension.
  • On one post I gave information that is accurate and fair but some people apparently disagreed with it. The moderator responded that, "As a mod I have to just say responses here are supposed to be helpful to people and not misleading". Honestly don't know why people disagreed with my comment when I had legitimate links to active references and wasn't just making shit up, but regardless I just went ahead and deleted the comment myself. Guy wasn't a dick about it though.


Other times I've assumed the rules and got modded and asked the moderators to explain why/how I could formulate my posts better in the future and they mostly gave me positive responses.

The only one I'm bitter about is Mildly Interesting. They have a "no screenshots" rule. I saw a Russian bank app that lets you verify the authenticity of a Ruble bill by scanning it with the camera... ALSO the image on the bill "comes alive" (they have a spaceship launchpad on one note and when you use the video camera it shows a 3D rocket launching upward. Or a bridge - the camera adds traffic and ships and stuff). So I took a picture, framed it in a way that captured the actual banknote *and* the screen of the other phone so you could see what it was doing... and it got modded because "no screenshots" -_-. Fuck them.

Also really just procrastinating on work right now lol.
