A moderator (in their private capacity) posted a comment in the other place's DT about the Middle East. I'm all for that discussion in the appropriate places, but I don't need to see it in every subreddit, I'd rather see 100 loud bangs posts.

I politely said I don't think the subject really belongs there. They immediately blocked me. I edited my comment to say I was blocked, and it has now been removed using moderator powers.

Classy.

r/melb has gone from under-moderated to over-moderated, bunch of cock mods there.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they really showed who they were when there was the reddit boycott

their sense of importance is just not based on reality

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

They also hide behind the mod-team account.

How dare you speak ill of the moderator's actions! Not cool. I downvoted the post.

Lol. You hurt someone's feelings. Bad Pilk

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Interestingly enough, I can still see the comment on that site

I'm all for political discourse, but keep it local (Dictator Dan anyone? anyone?) 😜

reading the news is "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills."

facts and questions and asking for some propriety will get you banned

so much hate out there,

anyway, hugs, we don't do that stuff here 😘

I downvoted them on your behalf.

It’s disgusting.

They can’t even own up to what they did to you.

Shows how useless the mods are there.

Edit: also downvoted the comment.

Excuse me mods? Pilk here is inciting discontent. I suggest a temp ban for one month

I looked at it. It’s definitely a bit of an abnormal comment for r/DT. It seems like a bait comment because of the divisive nature of what the US and Israel are doing.

Also, Reddit mods aren’t entirely trustworthy haha.
