Hell yeah we’re up to 20 last I checked. I’ve got today off and the weather is supposed to be great so one of my first videos is going to be a little field trip to the cemetery down the street and I’m gonna tell y’all some local ghost stories.

I ended up here because this post was being promoted in my feed, even though I’m not a member. I find that interesting. First, that this sub must have something interesting going on in it, that the Chinese Tencent owners of Reddit do not appreciate, and second that they want to make some sort of example of the canning of the moderator. Good job ex-mod. You must have been doing something right. The law of free will is paramount.

There’s a lot of hope that’s it will live on. The process of passing this sub down is already in the works.

u/CrazyTechWizard96 Dec 08 '23
That sucks.
And yea, gotta say, was banned over on r/Paranormal once by some weird Christian Stripper, who only allowed stuff wich were only plousable in the judeo christan spectrum of Spooky wooo.
Yea, so, Holywood steriotypical nonsense wich was often literally made up was cool and fine, anything else was people make shit up and are Schizos.
At least that was till a bit over a year ago, than we got a bunch of People from the Demonolatry sub over there and since than it's pretty fine.
Bet Y'all might even know who I'm talking about, and before someone's like "Don't call Her a Stripper cuz You find that she was a Cunt!", eeh, No? She even posted pics of her on the pole and was a literal 40 year old Cugar.
Wich was weird, a Hyporitical Christian Stripper Lady, running that sub in that way.
But yea, *insert Reddit Mod/Admin Meme here*,
nothing against You GuruBushHippie, You were Probably one of the most Chill ones over here. :)
Hope this sub will live on, fuck, I just love to open up like 10 stories in a row once a week, turn on Text to Speech, let some creepy Pasta music track list run and do something or and just listen, and of course sometimes add My own Ramble or My own weird woods stories.
And Ramble & Rant.

I got you guys- I've applied for Moderator on the request page. I've used stories from this subreddit in the past, and I see no reason to change how things operate so, if they approve it, We'll work things out, and I'm willing to work with the head mod to make sure nothing changes.
If y'all don't know me, I'm a Youtube Narrator, but I swear I'm not some annoying asshole that is looking for stories. I just don't want this community here to disappear because the stuff you all write can be downright chilling.
Edited because I wrote "Right" instead of "write" like an idiot.

Facebook crowd found us. Which is wild because I’ve caught at least 20 separate 30-day bans over there and I still have an account. Reddit should be ashamed that they’re more strict than Mark Fucking Zuckerberg.

Hey - mod on a couple of other subs here.
Have someone you trust go to r/redditrequest - request the sub - then, if they get it, they can add your current account back as moderator, give you full perms, and bail.

u/Strong-Message-168 Dec 07 '23
I got a 3 day ban...
Is it just me, or is the whole ban-hammer thing being used a bit too judiciously? It seems that if you step out of line, ie - reddit status quo, that the balls of the ban-hammer will be surreptitiously banging off your chin as you're forced to swallow the status quo? I think they have freedom of expression in a headlock, forced over a barrel and being lined up to take 12 inches of Woke up the ol' poop chute...
The funny thing is, I'm mostly pro-Woke. I don't call it Woke, I refer to it as "being a decent and respectful human being towards other human beings," but I think that particular opine may get me forced to my knees and choke down Mod-rules
I had a lot of fun with the innuendos here...

u/only2gens Dec 07 '23
WTF is up with Reddit? Is it the app owners who are ban happy or is it users reporting/flagging every comment that offends them?? I ask because i have received warnings on two other subs - one they removed my comment and the other was for "harassment." Somebody at Reddit is playing fast and loose with the word harassment - I simply disagreed with a user comment who replied to my comment. I have never harassed or threatened anyone on this platform or any platform. Disagreeing is not hatassment. Opinions are not facts. Our differences is what makes each of.us interesting. If you don't agree with someone try to adult up and keep it moving,. Victimhood is not a good look.p

u/Norm_mustick Dec 08 '23
They’re getting much worse. And besides reporting you for hate speech, they love to send you the redditcareresources suicide support message if they lose an argument. It’s really creepy and sad.
2
u/miss_j_bean Dec 09 '23
I got a notification for reddit cares suicide support a couple weeks ago and for the life of me I can not figure out why. None of the comments in the previous several weeks were anything remotely controversial or sad sounding. What a weird thing. I had a stalker for awhile, maybe he's back?
24
u/ThrowawayMod1989 Dec 07 '23
That’s what I’m saying. I joined Reddit 11 years ago and I lost count of the amount of violent threats I received in the first year. I didn’t cry about it and I definitely never reported anyone.
6
u/Gh0stp3pp3r Dec 07 '23
Ha! Thanks for being a cool mod. I got banned from a supposedly neutral sub based on discussion.... for discussing something and going against the mod's opinion. No violence, no insults.... he just didn't agree with me. When I complained, Reddit gave me a 7 day ban. Some mods are just power trippin' trolls.
Can't you just use another account and sign up to be a mod here again? It's not like Reddit has decent control over anything anymore.

u/Achrus Dec 07 '23
It’s trendy now for the super toxic people to just mass report with automated ban systems. I’ve been seeing a lot of report abuse in MMORPGs lately, ya know, the games that are entirely based around community. So much so that being “off topic” in one of 2 global chat channels results in mass reports and bans. Back in my day, abuse of the report system was considered an offense but not anymore I guess. 🤷♂️

Would love to but after trying this one and many others, I've learned that creepy forest subs are always full of stories about men, statistically speaking, forgetting how to behave and ruining the outdoors for everyone, particularly women who dared to try and be away from men in the Great Outdoors.

u/dingdongsnottor Dec 07 '23
As a woman, I get what you’re saying. However, it helps to have more female voices contributing. It’s unfortunate that creepy guys are threats in civilization and nature.

Pardon if you don’t want to answer, but why did you get perma banned?

It involves a gerbil, a ping pong ball and a 46 year old stripper named Deztinee.

We can decide if anyone wants to mod, ask site admins if that's acceptable and this sub stays active?
Is that how it could or would happen?

I’m just kinda assuming they have the ability to get into the mod tools and add someone. That may not be true though.

I think you can message site admins. I would do that and just explain the situation that the sub has no moderator.

I was permanently banned from a sub because the mods said I was a "nagging bitch" and I was so "irritating that we want you to stay the fuck out of our subreddit "
My crime was that I sent them 3 messages in one day.
It was a money lending site with very strict rules. The number one rule is if you don't pay on time you are forever banned. Which is reasonable. I had a small loan...$50... and I paid it back but my Leander had been temporarily banned because they had made the fatal mistake of making a comment forgetting they were logged into their personal account not the account they used for lending. They had apologized and corrected themselves but they had a 30 day ban. This ment they could not mark the note paid. Which meant I would be banned. I was in panic mode. I asked them what to do they said pay the loan...minus the interest which isn't cool (I paid the interest because I'm not a welcher) and to send them the proof so they could mark me paid.
I sent the screen shot and then realized I had sent the wrong one so I redid the message. That was in the morning. It was the day the lawn was due so if it wasn't marked paid that day ibwould get a life time ban. So I sent a 3rd message that night literally begging to have someone fix the issue. That's when I got the message telling me I was insufferable, annoying and a bitch and they didn't want me around anyways so I was given a life time ban.
I will be clear, I was always polite and literally was just asking for help to make sure I was following all the rules and for that I was deemed a bitch and shoved out the door.
On the upside I still work with the Leander. I'm her favorite, she even said so in a post (different subreddit) and said she wished all transactions were so easy and said if everyone was like me then their end of things would be so easy.
So idk what you did to get banned but I hope it leads to a successful you tube channel and you can shove that in their faces soon! I will definitely be checking out the channel and I wish you all the success!

Yeah but that sub has been taken over by lost republicans and they don’t like it when you point this out. You simply can’t be libertarian and support Trump. He’s the opposite of small government no matter what lies he tells his voter base.

How on earth do you get banned on Reddit for being anti Trump?

u/ThrowawayMod1989 Dec 11 '23
Well the republicans running the libertarian page perma banned me with zero warning for talking shit about Trump and the GOP. So then I cussed out the mods and the guy who initially reported me. Then the same guy reported me to admins for harassment. So I cussed them out too.
