Decline report
User throws a tantrum
Give a suspension
"Wow fuck these power tripping mods!"
- It’s like you’ve read my inbox…
- This is why leaving Reddit was easy. This was like my first interaction ten years ago.
- Are users notified when their report is declined? Lol
  
  Not technically, no. But I believe users on Reddit can be issued warnings if they abuse the report feature, which many of them do.
  Not that I would know, having not been on Reddit since June.
  
  I never had one declined, and I was basically a mod of /r/accidentalswaatika with how much I reported rule violations.
- You know who doesn't act like asshats when they get banned? Spammers. Even spammers are like "yeah I get it" lol.
- Users always crying 😂

I have a youtube account and was once accused of stealing content from my own reddit account, which had identical usernames. Plus the reddit account had a link to the youtube channel and vice versa.
... but even tho it was a bit of a brain fart, I still appreciate that people are looking out for potential content thieves. I'm not even mad - I'd rather get a false positive every now and then instead of having my content stolen (again).

No idea why this is just a screenshot of a Word document but the source is this.
42_words was (is?) a user who ran a sub of the same name. Every post, including this one, had 42 words. So does this comment.
- The photo is literally a screenshot of that tweet, just not in dark mode. Why on earth would it be from a word document?! Or was that addition purely so you could make your comment 42 words long? Like this one is.
  
  The average lemmy user probably forgets that light mode exists on twitter.
  
  Light/dark mode aside, why didn't you include the source in the screenshot?
- Reminds me of the time I got into an argument on Twitter, and I asked someone for proof of something, and they sent me a screenshot of a Wordpad document. I said I was born in the afternoon, but not that afternoon.

I run a porn community and one of my posts got reported for being NSFW. On an NSFW community. On an NSFW instance. I don't know what they were expecting.
- Probably, neither did they.
- I mean, were they wrong?
- That's like the people who were outraged about Snoop Dogg smoking weed before the superbowl halftime show.
- What instance? Asking for biological research
  
  Just click their profile lol

Now do the right thing and block yourself from the sub you are moderating.
- Funnily enough you can’t do that. You also can’t remove yourself as a mod if you created the community.
  
  you can if there's other mods no?
  since it's Reddit you can also just remove your account
- Literally subreddit suicide

Image Transcription:
Black text on a white background reading:
"So somebody just explained to me how what I'd just posted to a subreddit wasn't suitable for that sub.
I replied that, as the creator, moderator and basically only contributor to said subreddit, I respectfully disagreed.
And he reported me.
To me."

- You are prolific with this. I see you as much as I used to see sprog and portarossa
  
  Oh, I don't think I'm that prolific, but I appreciate it.
- Yes, text as image is dumb. Why do people do that?
  
  Easier to share a post with words on it than to copy paste things everywhere? Also makes context that much easier, too.
  
  Personally I'd prefer a screenshot of a post than just a copy-paste of the post, easier to see the context, etc., and I'm also more aware that it's not the OP's take, but something they saw.

I am the Manager!!!

Reply with "Appropriate actions will been taken, thank you for your report" and sticky the post.

He has a point though

How'd things work out? Please don't leave us all hanging here my Lems
- The original commenter never realized he was getting trolled.

Yeah i used to moderate and i've actually had my own posts and comments reported on my own sub.
Also i got in an argument once and they threatened to report me, not understanding that i had been the main moderator for 8 years.
