Hey Reddthat community,
Today I woke up to a very angry user who was the sole moderator of two communities here (c/gold and c/alchemy) who had reported a few posts and sent some PM’s to a mod. (See screenshot, read from bottom to top)
Honestly, it hit us hard. Why would a user be so agressive against us? If they didn’t want to see NSFW content they can hide in their profile, and unless we’re mistaken it’s hidden by default?
The mod team (currently just /u/reddthat and I) had a chat and thought about it. If a user PM’d any user with this type of abusive language we would immediately reprimand them. This is what we did.
So? I hear you say. Why are bothering to make this announcement?
This user clearly was under the wrong assumption about this instance, didn’t know how to hide NSFW content, or has something against anime?
The question we want to ask our community are:
- What would you have done in this situation?
- What could we do to ensure no other users get the wrong idea?
We would like to get to know you all, work with you, and make it a place where everyone is welcome. We want to share memes that make us laugh, share images that excite us and find communities that make us feel at home. This user clearly did not understand that.
Tiff
Yeah he sounds like a toxic person. It’s one thing to say that you’re not into that content and ask how to hide it, it’s another to go off the rails and throw personal attacks at you. Don’t let it bother you.
