Michelle Evans said:Fair enough, but I honestly don't care about the status of an Adobe Acrobat file if I'm not the moderator or supermoderator in charge... That's on whoever is responsible for it to handle.

That’s fine in theory. In reality, it’s been three weeks and nothing has happened.

Just leaving this here as a little nudge for the moderators who are actually responsible.

Seriously, what am I supposed to think here? It feels like the mods just completely overlooked his constant vulgarity. This guy goes around insulting everyone on basically every single thread. People are being diligent about using the 'Report post' button, and they’re even sending direct messages to the moderator in charge of this Adobe Acrobat file—and that was before this specific Reddit thread was even started by another user. And yet, absolutely nothing happens.

Then you look at me. Within a few hours, I get slapped with a warning because my comment was deleted from this Adobe Acrobat document. I'm sure nobody had to bother clicking 'Report post' or sliding into my DMs about it.

I'm sorry, but there is clearly a massive moderation issue going on with this Adobe Acrobat.

Here is a glaring example of the kind of communication clearly tolerated on Reddit. It’s obvious because nothing was done, even after using the 'Report post' feature and reaching out directly to the moderator—who actually showed up here but refused to take any action.

I figure you'll just delete this too, just like my last two posts. There is clearly some favoritism going on with this guy. But before you scrub this away, I want people to see exactly what we're complaining about. At least three of us users over in the Car and Driver subforum are fed up with this.

So why hasn't that quoted post with all the insults been removed yet?

Why isn't this user being punished for constantly swearing, insulting people, and acting totally out of line on the automotive subforum?

He gets banned every two days, comes back after three, and starts right back up where he left off.

Are his insults just not worth a warning anymore?

Here is a specific example (from a thread about Uber):

I wonder said:If you weren't such an idiot and actually had some work ethic, you'd use that same phone you use to rate your Uber driver to report that IBM guy to the local Chamber of Commerce while you're driving.

The post was reported, but the moderator hasn't issued a warning, and quite a bit of time has passed already.

It seems like they're trying to avoid giving him a formal strike; lately, instead of issuing warnings, they just delete the posts that are nothing but insults.

Just so you can see this guy's history of this kind of behavior:

So my question is, why is he being protected?

A hilariously customized casket.
