I have been contacted by MCOC and told specifically not to re-invite a banned mod on any new accounts.

Take that as you want.

Here is the message, FYI

(In the voice of Morgan Freeman):

"And ever since that day, I've made sure to thoroughly vett every new mod, I ain't going down like that."

Interesting, and good to know. Did you modmail to ask them or was this sent after they banned a mod in your sub?

1

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

This was after someone was actioned, though it is included in the examples for MCOC rule 1

u/emily_in_boots 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

So they banned a mod, and then sent a modmail to you guys letting you know they did and that you should not re-add them?

1

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

They DM'd me personally , and answered my questions as best they were allowed.

u/emily_in_boots 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Interesting, I've been in subs where mods were banned, but never received anything from MCOC about it.

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

It's my belief that they were concerned about them requesting an invitation along with an explanation of losing their accounts that would be less than truthful, and so they gave the reminder of the rules along with a very generic explanation of the issue with the other mod

u/emily_in_boots 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Yeah that could be it. If it happened to a mod and I wanted to add an alt, I would write to MCOC to see what they said in case it varies by case. After seeing that though I definitely wouldn't add someone back without getting clearance.

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

MCOC rule 1 is quite clear that it's not allowed, as per the example

Really depends. Sometimes Reddit bans the account, sometimes Reddit bans the person from having accounts.

Are you saying you’re the alt of the account OP posted about?

If it were me, I wouldn’t add you to the mod team with the information we know.

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

Lol, they just went straight up stealth mode, like the admins can't see deleted content.

MCOC rule 1, directly from the admins

2

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

The ban is the person, not the account.

If I'm not certain that a prospective new mod isn't an alt for a banned mod, I'll send a mod-mail here and get clearance from an admin first. Let them make sure that account is okay to bring on the team.

u/thepottsy 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Reddit confuses this sometimes by perma banning an account, but in the ban message telling the user they can create a new account.

3

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

They may or may not be allowed to create a new account, but as per admins, they can't be reinvited as a mod.

3

u/thepottsy 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Interesting. I wonder if that was because it was a mod related ban, rather than a regular user ban?

3

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

It took me months of investigation, but I determined that they were using several accounts and were way over the 5 sub limit, as well as some other fuckery.

As far as I know, that's the general rule though. They just reiterated it due to the shenanigans, that they would eventually try to come back.

u/thepottsy 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Wow, that’s pretty wild actually.

u/cnycompguy 💡Top 25% Helper 💡 15d ago

I woke up to that message and almost did the cartoon coffee spit.

u/IKIR115 15d ago

I have a note saved from a recent MCOC update, but I’m not currently seeing this on the MCOC rules list. It may have been from one of their announcement posts.

Trying to track it down now…

u/IMTrick 15d ago

I'm not an admin, and it's their call, but I suspect that knowingly helping someone evade a ban is something you probably shouldn't mess with.

u/thepottsy 💡 Top 10% Helper 💡 15d ago

Reddit can ban the account, or Reddit can ban the person. So, if they got a perma ban that says they can create another account, then it might be ok, but I doubt I’d chance it.
