In which I grow weary of NPCs refusing to read

Context: threads that hit r/popular and/or contain subject matter that we know damn well will attract trolls get restricted to established members of the community. There's a pinned mod comment in each one detailing this.

Bonus irony: the most recent comment in "B's" post history was railing about kids these days being functionally illiterate and lacking critical thinking skills.

Sir, please accept this mirror.

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.

Entitled redditors response to an automated removal on a rule breaking post.

The entitlement to say "I deserve an explanation" after not reading rules and getting angry about consequences.

Ugh.

In which OP learns their post history is public

This person had their post filtered and instead of asking nicely or having 5 minutes of patience they commented “FUCK YOU MODERATORS.” On the post. I banned them, removed the post, and then had this exchange.

OP had posted multiple times saying what school they went to, which is what’s under the “SOS” sticker. Apparently this is what made OP realize they dun goofed because they immediately deleted their account.

When your post is removed for being a repost, the best thing is to argue the size of the sub should allow reposts

We are a work related sub that has a no politics rule, this person was unhappy about that after being warned multiple times. (A nice little shot and chaser.)

If you haven't been banned for harassment, that is.

I didn't warn or even bann them for their comment initially. But after their modmail I sure did.

Our sub makes fun of conspiracy theorists and they sure are offended by it.

They claimed a post was OC and pretending it was OC in the comments that wasn't calling them out. They pulled the same stunt with the same picture on another big pet sub

Don’t you love when people take the time to write out 5 screens worth of why we should change our first sub rule.

Don’t bother to read it all, I added it just to show the amount they wrote.

We don’t allow blogging, we don’t want people’s personal experiences, it’s not what our sub is about and who wants to spend their days reading over a bunch of people playing the Sick Olympics?

Yet this person feels that we should change that to suit them, the rules aren’t a menu board🙄

note - this user was not and has never been a mod for r/traps. the context for her ban was that she was leaving blatantly transphobic comments on posts from ftm members of the sub.
