And they wonder why the place is a shithole.

    If the mods admit that they would have removed the posts had they seen them (implied by the “we can’t see everything” response) - yet they’re not open to being alerted to problem posts (implied by the “checkmate” sass) - how can they fairly expect users not to be frustrated by the unequal application of the rules?

    The correct mod response here would have been “we understand you disagree, but we don’t feel the posts you linked violate the rules” or “you’re right, we missed those too,” not “we didn’t see those but also we’re banning you for telling us about them.”

    They breed the hostile environment they complain so much about, and the cycle continues.

      This is not the case, not they say “report and move on”. Reporting is literally alerting them to the problem post.

        That’s what I mean by not being open to being alerted to problem posts. For many subs, there are too many reports to sort through, and the mods welcome modmail to point out something that has slipped under the radar. This sub doesn’t allow that, so they won’t be able to work with their subs’ members for a fairer application of the rules.
