I'll definitely try to keep that in mind!😉

placidmarlin3 said:I don't see anything offensive in that post at all. It’s just colorful, written in my usual style,

honestly, I wrote it kind of scattered because people were calling me intolerant, but hey,
I'm a human being, not some bot. I have feelings. That's just how people react when they've got actual blood pumping through their veins. And honestly,
we’d probably be arguing this out in person too, but I really don't see any insults in the post.

Find me ONE SINGLE POST in the pet section where I am being INSULTING!
JUST ONE!

placidmarlin3 said:Delete the post!

Where am I lying??
Highlight it!
Sure, delete that one too!

Interesting take from one moderator.
Instead of actually educating people, you’re out here defending stuff that breaks the law and just doesn't make sense.
And hey, before you start preaching about "intolerance," maybe ask yourself how incredibly self-centered you have to be to try and force your own little worldview—which totally ignores actual laws—onto everyone else. You talk about tolerance, but what about being tolerant of the rest of the world? Not everyone shares your extreme obsession with animals. Some people might even, get this, be afraid of them. Like, imagine having a panic attack because some massive dog, sized like a freaking pony, is bounding through a local playground or running through the fields between two apartment buildings. Where’s the tolerance there, oh wonderful, empathetic moderator?
I can see you're really getting worked up over this topic, so clearly you're one of those so-called "animal whisperers." You know, the ones who think they can predict every move a pet makes or practically swap souls with them. You probably think you know exactly how your dog will react at any second. Well, newsflash: that whole "spiritual connection" thing means absolutely nothing to me. And yeah, rest assured, I'm going to keep pushing and making noise until I see some actual action. I'm stubbornly persistent, that's just how I am. Don't worry, I won't stop until I'm looking at dogs that aren't muzzled. Because honestly, off-leash dogs in civilized neighborhoods are a total eyesore, and their owners? Usually just huge egomaniacs playing pretend doctor.
As for this twisted version of "tolerance," you might want to rethink it next time you're out walking your butt.

placidmarlin3 said:What do you mean, what kind of insult???
Where even is your sense of being insulted? Like, where's the trolling at? I don't get it.

So my post just got nuked. I was basically calling out the mod because she’s trying to label me as "intolerant" just because I’m pointing out that walking your pet without a leash is actually illegal. Like, seriously? It's not about being mean, it's just the law. Simple as that.

So, here we go again. We’ve got this one person acting like some kind of moral compass on that Pet Owners forum, you know? The same person who actually defends those off-leash dogs by blaming everything from unruly kids to whatever else, instead of just doing the right thing. Instead of promoting the actual laws—like, hey, grab a bag and clean up after your dog—she’s out here calling me intolerant. It’s wild. She’s labeling me and anyone else in this group as "intolerant" just because we might be wary of an off-leash dog. And look, I’ll say it straight: I think *every* dog without a leash is a risk. You can’t wrap your head around what’s going on inside a dog's brain, no matter how well-trained they claim to be. Especially when you're talking about certain breeds... but hey, she conveniently ignored all my points about that. Instead, she just went ahead and nuked my posts where I was pointing out the real issue. The truth is, owners who let their dogs run wild are the ones being intolerant. They aren't showing any respect for little kids, parents, or anyone else who might be nervous around a dog charging at them. It’s pretty simple, really. When you have animals running around uncontrolled, charging at people or other leashed dogs, you're the one causing the problem. Period.

Look, just so we don't derail this whole thing into a massive debate about your totally disastrous and arrogant way of moderating, I actually want to get to that question right at the top. So, be a decent human being for once and let us actually talk about it.

placidmarlin3 said:Basically, it’s just wild how my own moderator responds so incredibly rude on my own thread in the Pets section—basically encouraging people to ignore US pet ownership laws, too. Then my reply gets nuked, and when I ask why it was deleted, or even try to repost the part about American legal regulations regarding pets, that "expert" supermoderator mellowraven22 hands out a warning for trolling?!

Who even gives you the right to delete my post?
What?
Since you can't be bothered to actually engage with what I'm saying, you just pull rank and deny everyone else their rights??
And YOU are lecturing ME about tolerance?

Where is your tolerance for MY OPINION??
Where is your tolerance for PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF ANIMALS?
Where is your respect for the laws of this country and the society we live in?

And this person is a moderator!
Someone who is supposed to set an example for everyone else.
Shame on you!

Delete this too and I'll call the admin to see what you're doing!

Amanda Ruiz54 said:Look, Harp, we aren’t living in Kokomo here, so please, just stop talking nonsense. Honestly, when it comes to actual capacity, I’m pretty sure that concept doesn't even exist in those gray cells of yours. And as for your pants? You better hold onto them tight.

That’s a pretty cheap attempt at making excuses for your clueless sub-mods, if not for yourselves too. You could definitely do better than that, Castro.

Patrick Hill43 said:Permanent??!!! And if I may ask, why? I mean, from what I can remember, I haven't insulted anyone on any national, religious, or whatever basis.

Patrick Hill43 said:wait wait hold on, I just remembered something. I actually wanted to be banned forever, so I sent a message to a mod. Maybe they misunderstood me and just banned me from history. I didn't want a ban like that, I wanted to be able to open a new account under a different name since people misunderstand me under this one, and since you can't change names, that was my only choice.

If that's the case? Then I apologize and I'm asking you to ban me everywhere forever.

Samuel Booth76 I can't even begin to explain this one... it's just wild. So, basically, what's happening is... well, you know. It’s honestly pretty crazy when you sit down and actually think about how things are going lately. Just total chaos, really. Anyway, I was thinking about it earlier and... yeah. Just a lot to process.
And honestly, they’ll probably just wipe my account entirely. That's a real possibility, and yeah, I'm actually looking for that option.

Look, we already laid this out loud and clear in the Reddit rules, but here we go again.

The possibilities for running things here on Reddit are actually pretty wild once you get into it. It’s more than just deleting a stray comment or banning some troll; there's a whole layer to how we manage the community. You can tweak the settings to shape how discussions flow, set up specific rules to keep the vibe right, and basically act as the architect of your own little corner of the web. Honestly, if you’ve got the itch to organize stuff, the tools are all there waiting for you.
Reddit is actually owned by Media Matters. Most of the people running the site are just volunteers who were picked to handle that "job." They’ve got the power to:

I need to start changing up what I'm posting. It's just time for a refresh. Changing thread titles... what a mess. deleting posts and threads... Moving posts and threads around... Locking threads. Look, just go ahead and fix up your profile—toss out that signature, ditch the avatar, cut the clutter, or just swap out your nickname if you need to. How to delete your sent or received private messages. You're gonna get banned from Reddit (either for a bit or for good). Look, just a heads-up: if you want your account nuked, don't bother asking us to do it for you. We aren't doing deletions on request. Just handle it yourself. It feels like almost every single day, someone hits us up asking to have their account deleted. It’s becoming a regular thing. We just don't do that. Look, there aren't any exceptions here. We aren't out here setting precedents or anything. Sometimes we just gotta clear out the users who signed up ages ago and haven't posted a single thing since. Honestly, sorry about that, but you agreed to the terms when you signed up. You made the choice to join the conversation on this Reddit. Your account and all the stuff you've written aren't getting deleted just because you're asking for it. Thanks for bearing with us.

So, if you’re already signed up here on Reddit (which means you probably missed this thread entirely), just know you can ask for one single username tweak. It’s gotta be an aesthetic thing, though—like a minor fix. The admins can toss in some numbers, hyphens, or random symbols, or just mess with the spelling a little bit if that’s what you’re looking for. Just please, for the love of god, send those kinds of requests straight to Amnesty International. Thanks.
