  • Just noticed a glitch with spoilers I think

    If you use the spoiler tag on a comment and then click on the spoiler to un-hide it, clicking edit will remove the spoiler tag code for the stuff that was originally marked. The " >! ! < " disappears in the editing page is what I mean.

    But if you never un-hide it, you can click edit on your comment and it will show the ">! !< " still there.

  • That’s so true lol. Long story below but it deals with a fuck up some mods did with the old/new rules & automod.

    I once had to deal with a major fuck up that the previous mods left me as they all fucked off to mod the next version of the console the subreddit was for. On the day they added me and two others, they practically said bye and good luck but didn’t give us any control of the sub. They never touched the sub & the two other new mods quit or didn’t touch the sub too. Was fun to be the sole mod with a subreddit of 5 million people for like 5 months…

    The issue was that on the day before the old team fucked off, one of them changed the automod to automatically remove any post that dealt with support. It was set up that so the “support help” flair that any user could pick, would trigger the automod to remove it and then warn the user they would be banned if they didn’t post it in the correct support thread.

    Buuuuut the automod stated the rule wrong compared to the New Reddit version and mobile app people were flocking to modmail freaking out that they were about to be banned for trying to ask help to fix their console. AND it never stated what support thread or gave a link to it which made everyone ask on modmail for that too.

    I had to deal with hundreds of modmails alone while learning how to code automod since the old mod refused to fix it even though I stated how people were freaking out. Thankfully I got help from somebody else that gave me tips on automod and how to correctly code it.

    It turned out the automod was only stating the old.reddit rules and nobody had changed the new.reddit rules to match it. I used RIF to mod so I only saw the old sidebar lol.

    I wanted to say all that because i realized that experience I had with basically being left to hang is how all these new mods probably have been for the last two months. All these features with no help or support from past mods would suck so much. I eventually snapped and called out all the old mods for how shitty they were for leaving one of the biggest subreddits on Reddit to a single person before leaving the team.

    End of the long story lol. Sorry for making you read all that 😆 I just really hate how the new.reddit format can fuck up sooooo much shit.

  • the anonymous Redditor pointed me to the subreddit’s sidebar, which has a disclaimer about the dangers of electricity. However, the disclaimer is only visible on old Reddit. The mod doesn’t know why.

    Wow this is the part that made me laugh the most. One of the first things I learned when as a mod was that you had to change the side bar in both old.reddit and the newer version since they both have different sidebars.

    I never even realized that the loss of whole mod teams could make this simple feature unknown by the new team.

  • I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.

    So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

    That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.

    Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.

    I don’t regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.

  • I wonder if the chat logs are part of the information request you can get from your account.

    I’ll have to check mine later tonight when home.

    I had chat logs from a power mod that was sorta begging the rest of us to be let back into the subreddit we modded. Then he led a brigage against us by lying for why he got removed lol.

    Shit was funny. “I demand to be a mod again.” “Add me back now.” “You’ll regret this.” “This is not over.”

    Guy is absolutely pathetic lol
