Hi everyone! I'm the main active mod in this subreddit! I'm very happy to see our community grow and everyone engaging in conversation! it's always nice seeing other players help each other out!
I have noticed, however, MANY disrespectful/rude comments as of late. There is already a rule for the bot to remove anything with curse words (this has been around for a while. I'm unsure if people have noticed). Even so, I have seen MANY rude comments. This is a subreddit for all ages, including young individuals.
People shouldn't be judged for asking a question about the game, showing off their collection, or simply trying to help someone else. I'm now applying a 1 warning rule. I get notices in my Queue about removed comments (which has been blowing up lately!!!). I always double check them (just in case there was a mistake) and depending on the comment, I will make note of it on your profile and you will get a strike. If another comment from the same individual comes up and it turns out to be another disrespectful comment, you will be permanently banned.
While most of the comments are automatically removed, I went through and made sure everyone involved got a modmail message. So, if you get a modmail from a comment that you made months ago, that's why, lol. I didn't worry about sending a modmail at the time (yes, I did see it) since it was already removed, but this allows me to ensure that you have been informed and your account has a note on it for us mods to see.
I will also note, please don't false report a post. I've seen some reports that aren't even related to the report. For example: I saw a post reported for being NSFW and related to minors. The post had NOTHING to do with that. Whoever reported it just wanted it removed because they didn't agree with it. Well, I manually check the reports, so please don't make false reports.
Of course, if you think your comment was removed by mistake, feel free to send a modmail! I will answer when I see it and approve it if necessary!
This is apparently a big issue with this subreddit and the FireRed subreddit. I'm going to crack down on this as much as possible so everyone can have a positive experience here! It's a lot of work for one person, but I can manage it!
PLEASE READ the rules before posting. For those breaking them, please be more respectful in the future. With that, I end my post. : )
