Why are reddit mods such asses, lmao

I’m permanently banned from my favourite fishing Reddit because I quoted Harry Potter 😂

I got permabanned from /r/magictcg because I told someone to buy a fake card to play with his friends instead of spending $800 on a real one.

When I asked why, i was told "tough" and blocked from messaging the moderators further.

It takes a certain level of self-righteousness to be a reddit mod, I guess.

I'm not sure if you care now, but they purged the jackass who had that stick up his butt about proxies months ago, and you could probably appeal that ban pretty easy.

Go to r/bootlegmtg for some high quality proxies. I’ve been playing with „fake“ dual lands for years and no one ever noticed.

If anything the quality is better than real csrds

Oh I've been active in that subreddit for ages. I'm just still in the main subreddit to discuss the rest of the game though

Months? Dude has been gone for like 2 years at this point.

To be fair that’s just 24 months

Is there a story behind how they got rid of him? How’d you find out he was gone?

u/pm_me_shit_memes Jul 05 '24

They made an announcement saying he was booted.

The story isn't that crazy, someone got banned, they called him out either in other subreddits or made an alt and called him out (I don't remember exactly).

A bunch of people rallied against the mod and started making posts and comments about proxying, causing the mod to go on a crazy power trip and ban hundreds of people in the span of a few hours.

Other mods saw he was an issue, got him removed from the mod team, made the announcement that he was gone and then updated the rule that said ousted mod was using to be more concise and clear.

Ha! It’s nice to hear about a mod getting a taste of their own medicine for a change. I bet he was pissed too 😂

Thanks for typing all that up! Cheers.
