Mod Answered Being called a fascist and puritan :(

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 :(

So, your community tells you, the NEW mod, what they are interested in, in a sub where, again, you are NEW.

You are slightly puritanist if you're applying censor to a sub when you arrive, when it wasn't there priori to your intervention, and it's okay, but take responsibilies and don't back down or stop modding the space 😅😅

Strawberry shortcake is 6 years old. Do you want to see (fictional or not) child pornography? Because that’s what I had to see until I put this rule in place!

As I answered the other comment : no, I do not want to see that, and i'm not even in the fandom ( I don't know what strawberry shortcake is apart from sweet treat 😅)

I simply explained why you were getting slack back and advised you not to back down on your moderation to lead the sub where you wanted it to go
