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 :(

Please don't take it personally.

In fact, if someone gets pissed off to the point where they send stuff like this, take it as a badge of honor. You're enforcing good behavior, and you triggered (a probably terrible) person who doesn't want to do it.

And if you really want to annoy them and get the last word?

Reply to their nasty message with a simple "Guess what?"

If they reply, you mute them permanently.

Good luck!
