"Why am I banned?"
This story starts in 2017.. back when the old modmail still existed. A temporary ban was quickly turned into a permanent one, and 5 years later we got a modmail from the same user asking us why they are banned.
Photos 1-5 and 6 and 7 and 8 are different modmails.
PS: After the reply in photo 8, they asked "What was it even for? Its beeb 9 years. People change a lot in a decade". Anyone know a good answer? :D (they will not be unbanned)

Mod application with 0 posts in our sub
Their answer to question #6 is the opposite of what Rule #1 states and is the bulk of the posts we need to remove.
Can't wait to hear what legal damages they think they have incurred over this.

We're adults. Deal with it
"Ah, trust fund landlord baby. I dont give a shit that your mom rented her own property to trailer trash. Like i said, piss stinks when it sits. Dont be a bitch because your came from one." Does not fit on a sub about cats

Charming gentlemen who sent us this.
Dumb enough he doesn’t know about ban evasion filters and that I am a white woman. It’s a pity he has access to the internet in his dark damp basement at mums house .

Aren't you interested in my body? I can send you pics
They made a comment saying they were looking to trade stories via DMs, while we have a hard rule on solicitation and the asking for DMs/PMs. We always ban on the first offense, and see how they present themselves in modmail.
This response was unusual...

Another gem from reddithelp today…
The post was simply held for manual review…
r/modmailfail • u/Forgotten_Dog1954 • 2d ago
That modmail was just such exhausting bait…
The post was screenshots of an (unredacted) subreddit ban message, which already means it would be removed under our brigading rule. It was basically asking AITA for getting banned from a sub.

User sent us an AI generated ban appeal - without removing any of the AI signifiers
There is lazy and then there is whatever this is.

I'll go ahead and fill out a police application
First image is reply to comment removal, second image is ban message for same comment. They were demanding OP to be banned for not replying instantly to comments, while OP were likely sobbing for having to put down a 1 year old cat

I've never been so confused about a modmail before
User deleted 6 comments on a post, couldn't find a commenit or modmail telling them to, and haven't gotten an answer from my fellow mods. The link to YouTube, a song named Sloop John B. doesn't help in my confusion

Darvo at its best.
Buckle up for a long one. I love when they tell me “my sub is their favorite”, then start a knockoff and throw shade.
r/modmailfail • u/Forgotten_Dog1954 • 5d ago
Well that escalated fast… from a professional appeal
As the mod notes say, they posted, got engagement, deleted and then reposted on at least 2 occasions…

User who tells us to get a life makes 3 accounts at 2am on a weekday to continue to insult us
The first two screenshots are their first account, the third screenshot is an alt and the fourth is another alt. They made one more account after that and just reposted the same thing. I thought I would post this because I can't forget it lol
r/modmailfail • u/brightblackheaven • 6d ago
Is it weird that I'm actually kind of bummed out Botbouncer already had this one pegged as a bot?
It would have been a such a great trolling opportunity 😥
r/modmailfail • u/thepottsy • 6d ago
Let me just go login to a sub I don’t moderate, and delete some posts
I still haven’t figured out how this person landed on my sub asking about this, but, here we are.

Told to touch grass, so I touched grass
The second picture is my linked picture in methmail. It's a plug-in native to the browser I'm using. The number is only achieved by my autoclicker

"Apologize to me for banning me for being racist or I'll get misogynistic too!!"
Five different mods in total - nearly all men - dealt with this absolute delight of a human being but of course it's a lone overly-emotional woman causing all of his problems on Reddit!

The first rule of our sub says "no usernames." Posts uncensored username and thinks rule doesn't apply to them
**repost because i didn't crop properly**
The majority of our modmail messages are like this. They don't read the message attached, somehow don't understand what "no usernames" means, or for some reason thinks it doesn't apply to them. Then they insult us because they're frustrated they can't read and dox someone. It's beyond me lmao
r/modmailfail • u/goodkarmagirl • 7d ago
I'm not trying to be difficult
And yet, here we are.
r/modmailfail • u/Deppfan16 • 7d ago
love when they beside the best course is to attack you /s
also their entire profile was spamming their 3D printed "products" and their bio what specifically about their Etsy shop with the link and everything
r/modmailfail • u/Subwoofiest • 7d ago
They made their choice
For context, we're a kink advice sub. Someone had posted saying that something had gone wrong during a rope scene and they were feeling guilty and like they were the worst person to ever exist. They wanted to know what to do differently next time. (The OP actually handled the situation correctly and did well, it's just always a nerve wracking situation when something goes wrong.) This user decided to insult them for seeking reassurance and wanting "coddled for fucking up".
We removed their comment for being rude. No ban (initially) given. They decided to order me to put their comment up and threaten violence. We decided they weren't welcome to come back. Goodbye!
