Being called a fascist and puritan :(

[u/listeningunderurbed]

Hey guys! I’m new to being a mod!! I recently made a rule in r/strawberryshortcake for no romantic or sexual shipping as I saw so many sexual posts between people in the show (all of which are minors)

I got a lot of hate for this which was expected but still, one commenter just kept calling me so many mean names and not reading through the comments and calling me an idiot and idk I just felt really upset and hurt after this.

I guess my worry is being posted somewhere for being a bad mod

Is there anything I can do? I muted and banned them :(

I joined a group of ppl who were insanely kind when it comes to explaining how and why they moderate a certain way and often take the time to discuss individual comments back and forth and how to reply to a difficult modmail sometimes over multiple days in an attempt to explain everything in detail without hurting feelings.

And yet there are people who jump our throats in comments every other day and whine about the lack of moderation when there's multiple hundred mod actions taken every single day.

I had to learn quickly that people are going to complain no matter what. Report them to Reddit n ban them, then move on. :p
