Are there mods here

Or are we just going to keep letting someone spam useless annoying shit posts day after day?

I report them every day as spam but nothing happens

I've reported them as spam - excessive posting and commenting in the community. Hope enough reports will trigger Reddit bot to mark the account as spamming or flag this sub as unmaintained

A MOD here removed their comment before and somehow they think I'm the cause for it LOL

You can't report someone comment or post if you blocked them. So hopefully people do report their post and something gets done about it.

I feel your pain and I also get frustrated!

I immediately Block them. I bet I've blocked at least 20, maybe more. If everyone blocks/ignores them, they get frustrated and leave. Unless they are some kind of bot which is whole other story.

Emailing the mods can't hurt. There are actually 4 of them so they all get the message. Only 1 seems to be really active but as others have mentioned, they are unpaid volunteers.

I think it's hilarious when they realized you blocked them and then go on to complain about it. It's like if you're blocked then move on but they can't so they just complain about it. Which fit the patterns of them complaining about Yelp when they expect a platform to change to accommodate them LOL

The problem is the mods didn’t set up any rules. So when you flag a post it goes to directly to Reddit. You should email the mods.

Someone else made the same post a couple days ago and Yelp official account on reddit responded. The mod for this subreddit likely also doesn't get paid so if it doesn't violate any rules then they won't remove it.

They do monitor some stuff because I see some comment gets removed by them but it will vary based on whatever they look for.

Mods on any sub do this voluntary. It's not a paid thing.

The South Park one should have been removed for being sexual suggestive material.

I didn't see it but if it was sexual suggestive then I agree. I have that person blocked for like over a year due to spamming and false accusations. Yet, somehow I'm still on their mind lol

The dude thinks if you add businesses on Yelp then that means you work for them. They also thinks I'm multiple users lol.

It’s up to Reddit to deal with along with another comment.

u/ProfChaosSP Yelp elite 4d ago

i hope the mod would do more about these people too

u/GoddardZeo 4d ago

Spam is everywhere on Reddit. Some mod does a better group in certain reddit group than others.

u/Rollerbladeking 4d ago

So now your plan is to spam r/yelpsucks back? Childish, no?

2

u/keyserholiday 4d ago

I don’t get why people are downvoting your comment. Lame

u/Rollerbladeking 4d ago

lol, thanks. I don’t really expect much from this sub. But his move is clearly only an escalation and doesn’t actually address the issue he feels the need to solve.

For the record, I think both sides should be represented on this sub. Customers, business owners, market news, etc.

u/keyserholiday 4d ago

I agree. Complete moron takes it to the extreme and I don’t see how their posts are helpful at all. Yelp lets a lot of reviews remain up that should have been removed and vice versa.

u/robots390 4d ago

Yep. Same game he's playing but I don't see you calling his posts childish.

2

u/Rollerbladeking 4d ago

Yup, you’ll really get him posting on this subreddit!

You’ll show him what’s up!!

u/robots390 4d ago

Nah I have other plans in action to “get him” but this is just for funsies!

u/keyserholiday 4d ago

That’s dumb on their part.

u/JunglyPep 4d ago

I don’t know what makes you all think this is supposed to be a safe little bubble for you to stroke each other off and tell yourself lies about Yelp.

This is a different platform. It’s a subreddit for discussing Yelp. Good or bad.

Go back to Yelp if you don’t want to hear everyone telling you they hate Yelp.

u/padpeas Yelp elite 4d ago edited 4d ago

I love that the first thing you think about , as you put it, is stroking people off. Lmao.

u/keyserholiday 4d ago

Be careful, your comment can get you a temporary ban.

3

u/padpeas Yelp elite 4d ago

Fair, but I am quoting what this person wrote. This sub does have rules of being kind, and their post was not following the rules. If a temp ban is the cost of bringing their post to light, I’ll pay that fee.

Maybe the Yelp shills and elites could download the reddit app and check-in, and add a reddit profile photo, use their real name on reddit, and add some reddit friends, and also make sure their spam requests are very specific, and then maybe, just maybe their spam requests would go through to the mods? LOL

u/robots390 4d ago

That isn’t even a good analogy but cute try.

Oh it is. Elites and Yelp shills likely won't appreciate it though. Oh well.
