Complaint about moderator Delta Air Lines in the Tourism section! in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Jeffrey Garcia6 said:Look, sometimes a partial ban is just the only way to handle things.
I don't see how you can claim you haven't broken any community guidelines— you've actually broken them quite a bit, and pretty often too.
It’s not some moderator conspiracy... the issue is really just your communication style..

Because of that bolded part, the partial ban stays.

Yeah, some of those terms are just pure fluff used to package things up.

Why was my thread deleted? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
amberridge40 said:I asked for advice and you guys had zero right to do that. Not my fault some 12-year-olds are blowing up my thread with stupid comments. Delete their crap and leave the thread alone.😠😠😠😠😠.😠😠😠: m ad:😠Give me my thread BACK right now!

The thread isn't coming back because it doesn't fit the vibe of this forum. If you're looking for that kind of support or dealing with those specific issues, your best bet is to head over to a different forum that caters to them.

I had a quick chat with the folks over at the forum, and they're getting everything sorted out.

Why hasn't TurbulentFluid been banned for hate speech yet?? in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Jerry Robinson56 said:Can someone explain how this counts as hate speech?

It’s really just a blunt way of describing the reality we're seeing. Honestly, TurbulentFluid wrote an excellent, honest post. It feels totally unfair that they got hit with a deleted post, let alone a ban based on twisted quotes. Where exactly is the hate speech?
I bet it would be pretty eye-opening to see the original post from that "buster" guy.

You're kind of blowing the controversial part of the post out of proportion.

Can't open this message in Forum Help! ·
Not really. As an admin, I can wipe your entire post history in one go, but I can't just pluck out a single specific message. Is that post still hanging around?

velvetsailor14 said:I could use some help. I started this new profile because my old one is totally frozen—can't see messages, can't post, can't even send a DM... nothing. Anyone know what's up? 🙂

Give it a shot now, hopefully everything's working smoothly for you. 😁

Someone keeps deleting my posts on the world PDF forum in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Posts have been nuked.

The issue is that some parts of a post are fine, while others aren't. Since moderators hate jumping in to edit stuff—mostly because it creates a messy trail where you can't tell what was originally asked versus what the mod changed—they often just leave certain posts up. They don't want to break the flow of the conversation by leaving a massive gap in the thread. There isn't a strict rulebook here; it’s really just down to the moderator's own judgment call.

I want a permanent ban... in Feedback & Suggestions ·
My bad, guys—I got sidetracked, missed my morning coffee, and my internet was acting up.

Everything should be good now.

FictionSmith and the other spammers in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I think it’s time we finally put this whole thing to bed once and for all.

fictionSmith is permanently banned, and that's just how it is. We've dissected his case a million times already and the final call has been made. Honestly, there's no point in going in circles trying to explain it again.

I’m asking nicely—please stop starting new threads about him or why he got the boot.

Thanks.

Anonymous said:I don't see you actually arguing a point here, Daniel Ward87. You aren't even taking a side; you're just typing whatever pops into your head. So, maybe just sit this one out.

Give me a response that actually makes sense and gets to the point. Thanks.

Actually, I do have a stance: No mercy, the permanent ban stays.

The admins have decided that FictionSmith isn't getting unbanned. That’s the final word on it, regardless of how many times he tries to pop up under a new handle or how much we debate it here.

Nicholas King said:You totally missed my point. 🙂

I’m not calling for some "total overhaul of the system"—when I brought up that "super-mod star," I was just trying to show how giving someone an "admin star" would actually back up all the big promises being made.

It couldn't be clearer than that. 🙂

Nice. Admin. Period. 😁.

My bad for the misunderstanding.

Personally, I don't have any issue with making Nice an admin right this second.

But, having served as a moderator for American politics, I think jumping straight to admin might be a mistake for her right now. It's not about whether she can handle it—she definitely can—it's more about the experience. It's like climbing a ladder; it's usually better to work through those different levels of moderation and handling various user types before stepping up to the top-tier admin level.

Kate Thompson67 said:I really hope this doesn't turn into just another thread where we sit around making a laundry list of every mistake and bad call. We’ve got plenty of those already, and anyone looking for them can find them easily enough. I'm all for pointing out when things go wrong, but I'd rather avoid another useless list that doesn't actually accomplish anything.

Being polite isn't just about how you phrase things or using fancy vocabulary. It’s really about showing some actual respect to the person you're talking to. But hey, that's just my two cents.

When it comes to the people complaining, it’s a mixed bag. You've got the smart ones, the idiots, the polite folks, and the total jerks—it’s anyone and everyone. But just because someone decides to jump off a ten-story building doesn't mean everyone else has to follow suit. Someone else being a jerk isn't an excuse for you to act like one, too.

Nah, I wasn't even trying to... I can't quite make sense of that one. Could you clarify what you mean? He's talking about the core concept here. If we're really going to start dissecting this, we should probably just open a dedicated thread for it.
In my eyes, the whole point of a Reddit thread is to actually talk and swap ideas. There’s definitely a certain way people should debate and respect different views, but you’re right—we shouldn't let this drag on forever. I just wanted to point out that the massive shifts Nicholas King is suggesting aren't going to happen overnight; big changes always start with small steps. That doesn't mean people can't discuss them, but in my opinion, we should probably get into the nitty-gritty details. Just talking in broad generalities doesn't get us anywhere if we don't dive deeper. I'm not saying that wasn't the intention, but from experience, I know how great ideas can fall apart simply because they lacked a concrete plan.

Look, I agree that someone else being a jerk isn't an excuse to be one yourself. But as a former moderator for the Politics section, I can tell you that Reddit is just like real life—it’s not always easy to stay classy when someone is constantly coming at you sideways. Sure, it would be great to just walk away and ignore the noise, but sometimes that's just not how it works. I'm not making excuses for anyone, but let's be real: hardly anyone ever stops to look at the context or asks why someone is acting out in the first place. If the whole point of this site is to have decent discussions, then we actually need to build a culture of conversation. That requires effort from both sides, and honestly, that's usually where it falls apart.

Kate Thompson67 said:Got it. Ready to go.
I’m all for making Brandon Castillo4 an admin. It won't mess with the good vibes we already have here, and that's what matters most. Someone once said a bad fish starts at the head—I think that applies even when things seem fine on the surface.

Nobody said Nice wouldn't end up as an admin. Honestly, seeing the President step up like that is the perfect warmup for running a forum like this, and I'm betting it won't be long before Nice takes over the reins.

Nicholas King said:I haven't even posted on Politics, let alone read it—so I don't really know the guy.

That said, it isn't about whether he’s a good or bad person; without any delusions about trying to fix specific people, my take is more about "observing the system." All these big promises about "new directions" and "fresh starts" feel pretty shaky when they're being driven by the exact same crowd that dominated the old ways. It’s like watching a tech giant claim they’ve revolutionized everything while the same old executives are just moving from one corner office to another, getting thanked for their genius and promised seats at various think tanks—it's classic old-school President behavior. I’ll try to be polite so no one can say I’m just trolling or being a jerk.

The whole narrative would carry way more weight if they actually put someone at the top of this "new direction" pyramid who actually embodies those values—someone who represents what everyone suddenly claims to care about. Right now, the leadership doesn't reflect that.

But hey, it's your funeral.

I mostly agree with you, but (there's always a "but," right?) I think you're missing the mark here.

From what I gather, you're pushing for a total overhaul—bringing in a completely fresh crew with zero baggage. That’s a fair idea, but real change doesn't happen overnight. Plus, it doesn't mean we should tear everything down; you only fix what’s actually broken. There are parts of Reddit that work perfectly fine and have been working for ages, so why mess with them?

Also, if we're talking about changes, it helps to be specific—whether it's a particular rule or actual people (like moderators or admins). You mentioned you don't read Politics, so you don't know me or the other guy. But I’d point out one big issue: a lot of people complain about how mods or admins act without actually looking into the root cause. I totally agree that everyone needs to stay respectful, but rarely does anyone stop to look at *who* is complaining, why they're doing it, or how they're going about it.

Systemic change always starts with small steps, and it's the same thing here. Your core idea is solid, but the method stays the same. Let's get specific—pick one rule, one person, one thing.
