I got lectured by a couple of mods, after they banned me for saying "reddit has become thought police." The exchange was so ridiculous. Maybe they were vying for this award.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Allow us to validate your opinion, peon
i got lectured for reporting too much, apparently they are too lazy at dealing with reporting actual violators. and it was confirmed on thier mod sub, where they were ok they dont have to deal with people reporting claims.
I think we've all suffered through a mod lecture or two. Nothing I love more than being lectured by people that are just absolute wastes of resources. There are starving children in the world, yet someone insists on keeping the insufferable and miserable mods of our cities subreddit fed and housed.
Our posts being sold to AI companies paid for those.
well it looks like wrangling chatbots and zoomers pays for itself
OpenAI and google specifically, since they are pretty intergrated into reddit.
Imagine thinking that’s an achievement
I understand a group mod controlling a specific group. If it's the golf group you really don't want people posting anti golf stuff. What I don't understand is some general group like "news" and mods ban you because they don't LIKE factual news articles that you post.
Is there chocolate inside of the key?
giving it to the 92mods controlling 500+subs.
