You ever see a mod on a subreddit always distinguish their comment as a mod comment? Or even pin it? When it’s literally not even a special comment? I hate that
Yeah, sure, depends on the mod I suppose. Usually as long as the moderators keep up good conversation like the rest of the users I actually prefer them using their mod emblems. Kinda reminds you that they're there ya know?
Question, if a community mod were to ban your account on their subreddit. Would you still be able to post because "fuck your peasant rules"? Could you even be banned from a subreddit... hmm..
*edit: turns out, you can ban an admin through mod tools. Doubt it really does much though, haha.
Right, but if you were so inclined, could you just - you know - post in a subreddit you were banned in? Also, can automod remove an admin-distinguished post/comment? I would imagine you guys would have coded for that.
They probably can ban the account from posting regular text, but not the red special admin messages. I know admins can’t be blocked from officially speaking because there was/is a subreddit called like “noadminsallowed” (I don’t remember exactly what it was) and the entire thing was/is just reddit admins and the users trolling each other back and forth.
TLDR, a community banned all admins, red text everywhere. My assumption: they can speak in red (admin) header, but not in grey (regular) header.
We have alts, just like the rest of you sickos. Could you imagine discovering that the crazy shit you read on r/confession is from an admin? It's not good for anyone
Oooh, So kinda like being the moderator of a subreddit.
Edit: Are you able to hire anyone? Like literally just type my name into your computer and boom I’m an admin, or is it more complex than that (probably just an interview or something).
You can "distinguish" a post. That's how mods make comments appear green.
From the mod team meeting, speaking with admins, they are allowed to distinguish comments, but every admin distinguish is logged and thus could be reviewed by other admins, so they use it very sparingly.
That's HTML 101, but you'll need to go back to 1994 to learn all that. :D The time vortex will be forming above your head any minute. Say Hi to John Titor for me while your back there. And pick me up a Voodoo 4 card. ;)
I'm an engineer, and that means I solve problems. Not problems like "is this inappropriate for the site?" because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of moderation. I'msorryIcouldn'tresist.
Oh my name isn’t Michael tho. I am a male, but my name isn’t Michael. My name is Finn. I just used “DingDongMichaelHere” from a Dong video. Dong is anoter youtube channel from Vsauce.
Was the username in a colour you've never seen or the [A] for admin next to their name or the fact they're answering a question for admins not enough of a clue?
Another admin flagged this post, actually. I was just the first to jump in. A lot of admins are lurkers, just like the rest of y’all. Another few hours means more admins will see it.
I know if I had people likely to dig back through my comment history and look for the slightest off-putting comment, I'd be more hesitant to post. And my account isn't even easily attachable to me IRL like an admin's would be.
Do you think it's reckless to have so many admins together in one thread? Are you concerned that shit-posters could bomb the thread, taking you all out at once?

It depends on the day, but generally a few hours a day, broken up into chunks. It’s an important responsibility I take on as a part of my job!
