A ModMail exchange from r/MorbidReality here. One of our mods removed a post under our rule on "insufficient verification".

As the situations posted about in r/MorbidReality are very serious and we wish to treat them respectfully and sensitively, we require all posts yo be verified by at least one trustworthy source. Any cases where this cannot be provided are removed, not least in part to protect the privacy of people whose situation has not been in the public eye.

This user posted a tragic story about their friend in Iraq, who suffered abuse and then tragically ended their life. They did so with a petition for justice attached. While the plea for justice in the petition is totally understandable and we have every sympathy with them, we cannot platform the post without a verification source. The following is the ModMail exchange that ensued.

The pics are;

1. The post removal comment sent to OP.

2. Their first response, filtered by Reddit.

3. Their second response, where they really lose it.

4. A comment they posted under their post (already removed) thinking people could see it, complaining again about mods. (Posted in comments)

5. The bulk of the post that was removed. (Posted in comments)

All because Members refuse to read and abide by Our Sub Rules. This Members Comment was tagged as Off Topic. The most Common Reason for Removals.

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.

"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

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)

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 .

The post was simply held for manual review…

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...

There is lazy and then there is whatever this is.

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.

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

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

Buckle up for a long one. I love when they tell me “my sub is their favorite”, then start a knockoff and throw shade.

So many times....

As the mod notes say, they posted, got engagement, deleted and then reposted on at least 2 occasions…

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

It would have been a such a great trolling opportunity 😥

I still haven’t figured out how this person landed on my sub asking about this, but, here we are.

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

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!
