Like imagine going to a pride parade and you see some twink u never met and be Iike, “hey colleague! How’re u? How’s the bottom job position working for you?”

“Colleague”… That’s a funny word…

    This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. “Colleague” is a pretty innocuous term and “twink” seems to be context dependent. It doesn’t seem obviously derogatory in this context, “you see some dude” feels similar. I won’t take action for now. I’m very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.

        I’m a mod, so the latter. I want the reporters to know they are heard, but also I tend to be slow to take action.

          You mean by deleting old, totally innocuous posts like a week after they posted it? What rule I broke I don’t know. Don’t much feel “heard” as a user

          Good luck with your sub

            This is my first time being a mod. For example early on I would just remove any post that got a single report, but obviously that’s not a good strategy.

            There are also other mods including an automod.

            If I’m reading your picture correctly it was only 6 days ago that your post got removed. I’m not even sure if I can undo a mod action but I’ll look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.

            Edit: I am having trouble finding the original context of the comment that got removed, finding out how to reverse it, or finding who removed it. It’s possible it was me but I don’t remember it. I have reached out to other mods for help.
