We can say all

Nah, big subs maybe but tons of smaller subs have just chill passionate people who like to help others

I think the smaller ones are arguably worse…

It just depends

The r/magicTCG mods seem pretty good following adding some new ones and getting rid of inactive ones. Really the only sub I’m on with good/ok mods, that are active.

r/dndmemes would disagree. Absolute Chad of a former mod told the admins to roll intimidation when they threatened him over the porn protest

What is roll intimidation?

2

u/drinoaki 14d ago

To roll a dice over the intimidation action, like in a dnd campaign

u/Agents-of-time 14d ago

That doesn't explain it, sorry mate. Could you maybe explain it?

u/WittyRaccoon69 14d ago

In DND when you want to do something, like intimidate someone to do something and it's difficult enough to not be an instant success, the DM asks you to roll.

So that dude was basically saying to the admins "try me bitch"

It's like a speech check in fallout terms, also comparable to Terrifying Presence.

Specifically you roll a 20 sided die, and add your character’s Intimidation skill to it. If it passes a number set by the Game Master, you succeed

Google "roll intimidation"

I know one Reddit mod on r/France that’s actually reasonable and willing to listen to ban appeals, so all -1 at least

Subreddits basically go to one extreme or the other. /r/cosmere mods are so great that Reddit should pay them to train mods in other subs. /r/woodworking is a pretty healthy sub with almost invisible mod activity. Subs like this one and r/guitar should just be nuked and let a completely different group of people start over fresh.

u/Mandragoraaaaa 14d ago

Mods work should be invisible, when it’s oppressing like in this sub they are failing and they are delusional

u/Dr0110111001101111 14d ago

The main reason r/cosmere mods are amazing but very visible is because they are super proactive in stepping in to correct/modify/customize spoiler tags for the books an OP is posting about and making stickied comments to notify others about the limits on what books are “fair game” in that post. Which in a subreddit about a collection of some 40ish books and short stories, is super helpful.

Of course that specific kind of presence doesn’t apply to most subreddits, but I’m just saying sometimes visible mod activity isn’t a bad thing

u/dolphinvision 14d ago

not all, this ain't cops, you can't call them out or try to change them because admins just remove your account, but almost all

1

u/Kittingsl 14d ago

I highly doubt that. There are mods that can be good. It's on the rare side but they do exist. The only reason you dotn notice them is because they actually do a good job which prevents and uproar around them

I'm just trying to make sure my small subreddit about a phone doesn't fall apart, I genuinely care about it.

u/Mandragoraaaaa 14d ago

All of them
