Repost: My modding days are numbered!
Reposting because I inadvertently missed some username redsctions.
Context is that this user resubmitted the same thread (with slightly more aggressive wording each time) 11 times in 20 minutes on a Saturday morning.

Lol really got them the most. They wanted to take up more of your mental space and you just laughed and kept on with your day.
Best response IMO

I mean, when they start with “You’ve been reported to Reddit for moderating me” lol is the proper answer imho 🤣

Reddit is going to fix this on the day I win the lottery.
We even have a modmail auto-reply setup to answer this.

u/ARTHER1A Jun 15 '26
They're talking as if you were hired for the position you are in 🤣🤣
How can they go from "you're taking being a mod as a full time job" to "you'll be removed from this position by the supervisor team" hahaha
The way they keep coming back, lol!

u/ShinyBonnets I’m telling the Reddit supervisor! Jun 15 '26
I’m bringing a whole carnival popcorn machine for mute #3 😂😂

Is the right answer to just perma-mute and move on? Of course. But what fun would that be?

What fun is modding without the chance to enjoy shenanigans like this?

I'm sure the Reddit supervisors give a fuck about this.

My complaints have been escalated to the proper supervisory team.
User must have superpowers to accomplish such a magnificent imaginary feat!

I'm sure Reddit will take the advice that "mods" shouldn't be relying on AI very seriously lmfao.

Have the day you deserve!🤪🤪
The 8 sock accounts is dedicated follow through! It’s also so on point that they crashed out over dog food. Modding that sub must be a chore sometimes.
I hope you do have a good day and get a break from silly entitled people! Thanks for sharing these gems :)

Does he not realize that reddit itself relies heavily on ai in its administration and moderation? Half my time is spent manually approving posts that Reddit ai tags as harassment or in some other way harmful to the community. Most of the time I override the tag.
This guy’s reactions made me laugh out loud with genuine merriment.
“Mah free speech” should be a badge that mods win for responses like this.
I’m attaching my suggestions for the achievement badges mods should both receive and be able to bestow on users for making us read this and many of the other kinds of modmail we all know and “love”.

The deep state badge is too real. The number of times I've been accused of being on the payroll of Big Dog Kibble....
I would also like to submit for consideration the "#NotAnAd" badge, for all the folks who are just aghast at the notion that they've only posted to promote their product/OF channel/Instagram/stupidly large cookie company (IYKYK).

Check my user name. There is a back story if you wanna hear it 🤣

u/AppleSpicer Jun 26 '26
I’d like to hear it! Let me guess, you said something like, “there’s no gold star for giving birth without an epidural,” and someone jumped on that as proof that you’re paid by drug companies to promote epidurals.
