So, it all started when I tried to make a meta sub for /anime. The anime mods thought they should be in control of such a subreddit and vocally opposed such a subreddit. They had a rule against meta discussion in /anime. This advertising didn't really break that rule--I was advertising a subreddit, not discussing the /anime subreddit. But hey, they're the mods so they got super pissed when I pointed this out and removed all my comments. I posted in /modclub asking how to advertise my metasub and the /anime mods started up a discussion here too that didn't lead anywhere.

So, anyways, it turned out that one of the private subs I stumbled on whilst trying to find a name for my meta sub is actually one the /anime mods have been working on for a month or two before I started mine (please note that they haven't said anything about this before I sunk like two+ hours into opening my sub, putting up some copied CSS and adding a bunch of people as approved submitters). So they opened their own meta sub and I was like FFS, since I can't really compete with an official sub.

But hey, mission accomplished--I was banned from their meta sub for advertising my own alternative (apparently, it's meta when it's in /anime and it's not meta when it's in /animemeta.....whatever) but there was some success--I got them to actually have some space for meta discussion. It's obviously biased to hell because as you can see they aren't exactly prone to making logical, consistent moderating decisions but hey, it's something.

While all this was going on, there was also a lot of modmail discussions about this, and the /anime mods grew steadily more angry the more I tried to get them to see logic. One of the /anime mods just happened to be a mod of /awwnime, where this mod started verbally abusing me in modmail when I tried to find out why one of my submissions has been removed.

I, of course, stayed polite throughout all my interactions with all the mods of /anime and /awwnime (being completely serious here, if a mod is acting like a five year old, I won't come down to their level). I complained to grozzle about the abuse in modmail (and obvious bias of one of the mods) and he said that modmail verbal abuse is apparently acceptable, that a mod shouldn't treat a polite subscriber as a human being. So now, as I tried to explain how illogical that was, the other two mods of the sub apparently got mad that they had to perform their mod duties (answer modmail) and now consider me a troll, even though all I've tried to do is have a polite conversation about one or two of my removed submissions in /awwnime. They've also somehow convinced some of the regulars in the sub that I'm a troll as well, so now my comments there tend to get downvoted and people send me abusive messages if I complain about this bad treatment. Nothing too horrible but "leave this sub" does get annoying if it's repeated forcefully enough.

Also, grozzle has a metareddit alert thing for mentions of awwnime and his name so he'll probably see this commentpost--hi grozzle! I obviously welcome his interpretation of things.

But yeah, that felt good. Hey, grozzle, if you could provide screenshots of the modmail conversations we had, that'd be great.

Oh and also, one of the /awwnime users who suddenly disliked me in /awwnime now downvotes and complains about me in completely unrelated subs.</rant>

See /r/animemeta for more evidence, unless they delete their comments.

Also, the latest passive-agressive move was Lolimaster taking over /r/republicofanime and restricting submissions after I applied for it and was denied because I was over my quota, even though I had no way of telling whether I'd be denied for the previous sub....
