I worked very hard as a moderator on /r/boardgames and dedicated most of my free time at my real job to trying to keep the forum clean and friendly for all. Many days I spent six hours or more on /r/boardgames actively handling things in the modqueue. It's a trying, thankless and sometimes rage-inducing job for which we get no compensation at all.
i'm confused, am i supposed to read this and not just think "what a fucking loser"?
/u/jplank1983's steamy love letters take like 90 minutes a day to read alone. People just can't shut the fuck up when they're told "yeah, that thing you did, it's bad, stop it".
Modmails (he seriously sent us obscure points on Quebecois contest law, then requested progress on them after I asked him to stop username mentioning me).
Commented on a 10 day old thread correcting me on babies too. I don't know what that had to do with me being a mod at all.
See, he's got babies on the brain. He must want my sweet sweet bear cubs.
BTW, I would love an explanation for why y'all are using automoderator to remove all my comments in /r/boardgames automatically, in contravention of the guidelines the admins handed down on April 27.
Wouldn't this result in a civility ban over on /r/boardgames? Especially since the user you mention isn't in this discussion here.
Till this point I thought you just felt like everyone was ganging up against you and needed time. At this point I do think you need to let someone take over as head mod.
So would have his repeated contact to me, personally, on multiple issues several times a day some times if we actually moderated harassment against mods.
Dude contacted me like 20+ times in my very first week on 3 issues, and wouldn't go away on a random CEO post that we screwed up on.
He took 5 messages filled with tasks to agree to stop constantly username mentioning me.

Naw, the trolling won, I was just trying to hold out for /r/metaboardgames reform. But apparently nope. Abuse works(tm)

lol, there is no way that moderating /r/boardgames actually takes that long.

So you inspired me to look through his comment history and frankly I can't see where he did anything bad.

Wait, is he Quebecois? Perma.
1 zahlman 2017-08-25
... Has it occurred to you that maybe he just thinks you're a shitty mod and is trying to get back at you for it?
1 ASnugglyBear 2017-08-25
By repeated contact, by George, that would be harassment wouldn't it? Following someone around on multiple issues.
1 zahlman 2017-08-25
I mean, you know there's a "block user" button, right?
1 ASnugglyBear 2017-08-25
It is partially disabled for mods of a subreddit. Reddit expects you to ban people who harass you

Me? I'm not using auto moderator to do anything.
1 zahlman 2017-08-25
y'all plural. Every comment I make in the subreddit is instantly removed, as verified in an incognito window.

/r/boardgames and /r/metaboardgames is full of autists? Who'da thunk it?
1 ASnugglyBear 2017-08-25
Hey, he's a dick. But leave the rest of the people out of it who just need a little guidance on do's and do not's.
1 JK47_ji 2017-08-25
For anyone else reading this: apparently it's the name of a reskin of the game love letter and not snugs being rude!
1 pepperouchau 2017-08-25
I dunno, weren't the mods of this place complaining even though we're explicitly low-effort?
1 zahlman 2017-08-25
I didn't hear about that, but given this is /r/drama I'd say the mods complaining about stupid shit is part of the job description.

What say you, /u/ASnugglyBear? Are you a Cylon and/or Secret Hitler?
