"Please Mr. President, stop using these shootings as the face of gun control. There were 432 murders in Chicago last year. Tackle that. Make those murderers the face of gun control.

Stop fricking pretending that school shootings make any dent in the murders in this country. They don't. There were over 16,000 homicides in the US last year. This will make less than 0.1% difference this year. That doesn't help the families of the people who died here, but please tackle the real problem Mr. President."

You need to shut. the frick. up

There's three distinct possibilities:

The socks are there as part of something the admin is doing as part of their job; your efforts to report them will be met with "Thanks, we will look into it and get back to you if we need more info", and nothing will hapoen;

The socks are there as part of the admin's personal efforts, and your efforts to report them will be met with "Thanks, we will look into it and get back to you if we need more info", and something will happen, but you will never be told what it is, and if you're trying to take over the subreddit as a mod, you may or may not be granted the RedditRequest.

Both of these scenarios are indistinguishable, and so, Wittgensteinian in approach, we don't deliberate on them. Wovon manner nicht sprechen kann, daruber mußt manner schwiegt

possibility three: The mod and socks aren't operated by an admin, but are exploiting the automated activity metrics to attempt to game detection of absentee moderating. You file a modCoC, they investigate, find the pattern, find other "moderators" doing the same thing to defeat anti-misfeasance detection, they take action all at once on all of them some months after your report, for some other pretext, so that they don't figure out their sh… scheme has been made (and so never alter it), and you have the admins' gratitude (what there is of it). You never find out if your report had any effect.

The leitmotif here that I'd like to bring the brass, woodwinds, strings, and guest performer didgeridoo all into at the coda in order to bring it all home in a unified major lift:

You never find out if your reports had any effect,

(Because for all the admins know you might be part of their effort to reverse engineer anti-abuse policy and practices, to circumvent them)

So you file them and have faith (if you can find any) that someone appropriate will read them and act on them.

And maybe if you are consistent enough in your messaging and regular enough in your efforts to point out repeated patterns and potential solutions, that someone with access to the right levers will get allocated their Round Tuit.

The world calls this "coping with bureaucracy, 101 level"
