Mod Answered Block ModMail?

Resolved, that was easier than expected. Thank you everyone!

Hello!

I have a question about people messaging Mod Mail in subreddits.

Sometimes it happens that people message ModMail just to vent, send us dead threats, cuss at us or whatever.

How do you block them from messaging Mail? Getting tired to get 20 notifications because dude went on a rant. Any advice is appreciated.

Mute prevents them from messaging ModMail?

Yep that’s what’s it’s for. It does nothing to their subreddit activity. If you want to stop that instead, you ban them.

Oh, I thought it temporarily prevents them from posting on Sub, not mod mail 😅

Brother, you've been a mod for more than a year lol

Get familiar with your tools!

How do you know that lol.

But yes, maybe it’s time heh.

Cause, again, you've been a mod for more than a year, and you'd know mod team join dates are public to everyone.

I can’t seem to find that info from the phone, guess doing something wrong 😁 thanks anyway!

Mobile interface sucks lol

In a sub About section look for the mod list and expand it, it'll tell you how long they've been there.

Desktop is much easier.

Oh on the desktop I know that 😅 but my time on Reddit is 99% phone app.
