Mods locking threads because βy'all canβt behaveβ jfc just ban accounts breaking the rules and let the rest discuss
For real. I'm so sick of mod drama. 99% of the time, any sub drama boiled down to a mod freaking out over X
r/AmItheAsshole is guilty of this.
They're guilty of made up bullshit as well.
I feel like that's part of the appeal at this point π€·ββοΈ
The reason they do this is so they don't have to spend their entire life moderating a single thread.
Most trolls are posting on your sub for the first (and, if not banned, last) time in my experience, so bans to deal with a problem thread is fairly ineffective.
Some subs will set posts "members only" or whatever they decide to call it, which is a nice compromise.
a big one for me. Coming across a big discussion late and not being able to interact because its been locked down. Mod failures
