u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as “LAWFUL STUPID” shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with “roll for persuasion or intimidation” if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.
For what it’s worth, the admins won’t actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That’s why it says “private moderator note”, it’s a note only the mod team can see
(It’s still funny, though)
I just assumed admins can see the private mod notes.
You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol
Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.
You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.
I’m guessing they’ll see it now 😏
Admins even having the ability to disable replies on DMs is pretty telling.
