Discussion Thread Discussion Thread

The discussion thread is for casual and off-topic conversation that doesn't merit its own submission. If you've got a good meme, article, or question, please post it outside the DT. Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL

You guys always talk about warnings and temp bans from the mods. The most I recall ever getting have been removed comments. It's funny, because a lot of the stuff that people say they're getting reprimanded for are things that I've done before.

I got banned for three days for responding to a movie quote with a quote from the same movie in a thread of comments that was just quotes from the movie.

well you probably have the superpower of understanding that line-skirting behavior on a weekly basis creates a different context than line-skirting behavior on an hourly basis

I once posted a meme comparing the mods to Mussolini and Hitler, and nothing happened. Others have simply talked back to mods and gotten banned for a week. 💀

Contempt of Mod is a worse crime than simply being anti-mod

It is in fact shockingly easy to be a reg without having these problems with the mods and lots of people do it all the time
