As I told you yesterday multiple times, if you were to tell Drape to stop and then he continues you could've modmailed us and we would have considered it harassment. You refused to take these steps.

I decided I was going to be nice and make an exception and remove the various trolling posts from your topic without you messaging in because you were complaining that I wasn't removing the posts so I considered that your declaration of harassment. Then you started complaining that I did remove the posts and clean up the topic. So I'm not really sure what you're wanting there.

In regards to the harassment rule, that was created by an open vote and discussion on /r/Omaha a while back. So those rules were decided by the community and were not something that we just simply pulled out of our collective asses.

As I have also stated multiple times in the past as well as to you yesterday, /r/Omaha is run with minimal necessary rules when it comes to rules to be in the spirit of reddit. That is done as reddit highly values freedom of speech and it is not a moderator's job to decide what is good or bad speech. Our job is to make sure content is relevant to the topic of the subreddit and that advertising and spam does not make it in. That is all.

I run all my small reddits this way. Trolling is the realm of the upvote/downvote system as it has been on reddit for years now ever since the voting system was implemented by the reddit admins for exactly this reason. If you encounter a troll on reddit you have the ability to stop engaging with them if you don't like dealing with them. You have the ability to downvote them if you feel they aren't contributing to the discussion at hand. You also have the ability to simply ignore them.

We have the harrasment rule for if a user decides that they want to take it further when you've already began ignoring them and doing everything in your power that the reddit system provides to you. Once they begin following you to other subreddits or private messages they have then begun circumventing the system and features of reddit which is a violation of the "breaking reddit" Reddit Rule and we do take that action seriously and report the user to the admins. We have had a couple users shadowbanned as result of such behaviour that occurred on this subreddit. But once they have went around everything that you are able to do then moderators or admins have to step in because you've done everything you can at that point. That is what rule 8 was made for, not for single thread trolling, you have your own tools to deal with single thread trolling.

If the trolling is confined to one thread, the victim has the ability to simply stop engaging and as long as the troll doesn't decide to circumvent that there is no harassment. If you are continuing to engage with someone on anything whether it be trolling or not, by replying (with anything that isn't a clear message to stop) you are saying you wish to continue the conversation/debate/trolling/etcetera. If you say stop and then stop yourself you are sending an obvious clearcut message that you do not want to continue.

The post of Drape's you linked that you claim is him claiming that he moderators post is the exact opposite of that. He is specifically saying that he doesn't moderate posts.

As I also told you yesterday I had already talked to Drape about the situation and that we are discussing his staff position among the staff as of this time. But let us go ahead and clear up this situation. I'm going to link you four screenshots that show his entire moderation log history.

Here is every comment that he has ever approved: http://i.imgur.com/EHs9eRD.png

All of these were as a result of one of two automoderator autoreport features that we have in place. One is set to auto-report posts from any accounts that are new. Most of these were from that and we've allowed Drape to perform reviews of specifically that filter as well as the other one I'm about to mention. The other filter is a username mention filter so that people on the subreddit can summon us by name if they need to get our attention. One of those comments was that.

NONE

Here is every comment that Drape has ever removed: http://i.imgur.com/K1SLUa6.png

One of which is his own that he accidentally removed instead of deleted. It was a meetup RSVP if you were curious. The other one was obvious botspam that he contacted and got approved from one of the content moderators regarding before performing the removal, he was just the only one of us on at the time and saw it needed taken care of ASAP.

And finally here is every post ever removed by Drape: http://i.imgur.com/NOXXutO.png

Which like the botspam above he had checked and got authorization from one of the content moderators before performing the removal himself.

Yes, they will totally be on top of it.

You didn't even try, so how do you know that we wouldn't take action? You haven't even given us the chance to do so. Hell I even told you at one point specifically that I would remove the posts if you were to modmail in. If that isn't guarantee enough for you then there is nothing more I can offer.

Also, the mods will never tell you how they decided upon your moderation claim

You'll be able to know because the offending post will either disappear or it won't.

Anyways, the long and short of it is. You requested that I clean up your topic of trolling. I did. You requested I deal with Drape. I told you that I already told him about where he stepped over the line and that we are currently discussing his position amongst the team. I've done everything you've asked to this point, so I'm not really sure what further action you would like taken here?
