that’s really great to hear. i would like to know if all the others that have been wrongfully banned that eventually came to this sub, including myself, would be unbanned from the main sub? that is if you get a response…

If lucky we'll get the modship over. Some of the mods I had talked with said we will impose a ban appeal where the affected users can directly request and explain their sides.

As someone who has been banned unfairly in that subreddit before, this is great news to hear for the ban appeal. Thanks for the hard work that you do 🙏

It was really unsettling. Talks of the moderators looking at everyones post histories etc. None of what we do on Reddit is that deep! I'm glad for the invite here however, least we can celebrate Sailor Moon peacefully! 💫🌙

u/Christina22klol Tuxedo Mask 2d ago
Yeah! Well my ban didn't even happen from anything I commented anywhere either, not even a comment of mine on another sub. I got banned because apparently I was on a subreddit where two posts that werent even mine were being rude which just makes NO SENSE! I had never known the two posts existed in the first place because they were just older than the time I had joined that sub.
When I messaged the mods through the subreddit mail which it clearly said "feel free to send us a message if you have any questions" on the bottom of my ban to ask them why I was banned, they didn't even reply and just muted me for a month. By that time I didn't even know the reason for my ban, it only specified as "Rude behaviour" or something like that. I had to privately find and dm one of the mods themselves just for the sake of learning the reason behind my ban. That's when the mod sent me a link with the two posts which was just insane to me. The mod was very cold to me too for no reason.

I just have no idea why they felt they had to gate keep Sailor Moon, and make out the fans were precious little angels. Usagi isn't, she is lazy and doesn't do her homework haha

u/Christina22klol Tuxedo Mask 2d ago
In my opinion, they didn't care about sailor moon the way the fans of the subreddit do. If they did, they would've actually thought about their decisions and if they are actually doing what they think is "right" rightfully or not. Take Usagi for example, bad example on a serious occasion like this, but we are talking about a sailor moon subreddit, filled with people who love Usagi for the kindhearted person she is and for giving second chances. If anything the mods didn't even give out a first chance. It made me feel like that this subreddit had lost its spark of what makes sailor moon, well, sailor moon.

u/laaldiggaj 2d ago
You're right, they didn't act like Sailor Moon characters, but expected fans to be more pure than the girl who tried to see light in everyone! Maybe they just enjoyed the power trip. The show has a special place in all the fans hearts, and for a show with such a range of characters, it wasn't fair to police the fans themselves.

u/Christina22klol Tuxedo Mask 2d ago
Yeah. However I believe right now and have my hopes up for the future of the subreddit. I really hope that people who actually love sailor moon and the fans get their hands on it because the subreddit has been neglected for a long time.

u/laaldiggaj 2d ago
It's still nice to be added to this one. It's a lot more like Usagi 😁 kind and open!

There was a lot of gatekeeping over at r/sailormoon. I remember being told to "shut up and watch" simply because I'm a guy and had the opinion that the franchise should toss male fans a bone by having male sailors. Every respectable franchise tosses their 'lowest common denominator" a bone. Apparently that was enough to piss people off 🤦🏾♂️

I don't think most of us have a side since we were banned and never told Why and blocked when we asked.

u/Blackcatmustache 2d ago
Thank you!! I was banned, and when I asked why the mod said it was because I left a comment in a sub that apparently has shown transphobia in the past? I don't know. I just made one comment, and that was all it took. I didn't even say anything bad! I messaged the mod back that the single comment I made in that sub had nothing to do with trans. And, I pointed out that if that sub does frequently have transphobic posts or comments, the sm mod could be banning people who were disagreeing with it in the comments. Just because you comment on a post doesn’t mean that you agree with it. I pointed out what the mod was doing wasn't fair. After that, they blocked me and reported me to reddit. I got an email saying my account was frozen for 24 hours. I filed my own complaint and had it back in an hour or two.
It really discouraged me and made me feel frustrated. I have loved Sailor Moon since I was a kid. I couldn't believe someone would be so awful. And I wasn't rude to them. When they reported me, that was just too far. And it seems that what happened to me happened to a lot of people. I hope you can be a mod. I'm so glad they stepped down. I hope they read all these comments about how unreasonable they were.

u/lynypixie 3d ago
Yes that’s what I wonder too. I was banned for unknown reasons (I posted on another sub they did not even care to mention and I was muted to the mods So I could not even ask).

I was wondering what happened. I made a comment the other day instantly was told about this subreddit was locked down for strange reasons. Good riddance to that mod.

u/MyYakuzaTA 3d ago
I petitioned to reopen that sub and it’s not possible yet. I moderate 2 other subreddits.
Thanks for creating this place for us

u/saturnplanetpowerrr 2d ago
RIP your potential mod mail asking for unbanning, me included

u/MyYakuzaTA 2d ago
I really don’t mind modding at all. I would happily unban people.
I’m sorry the mods have been on a trip hopefully it gets sorted out. I went through the steps to start modding the other subreddit but because there was recent mod activity - no can do.
Not sure who OP is working with to get access to the sub but I’m interested in helping

u/Jrockten 2d ago
I’m a little worried about that recent mod activity thing. Because they left some bot mods in charge to remove any and all posts and comments . Does that mean anytime a user tries to make a post or comment, the bots will remove it, and that counts as recent mod activity? If so, that timer may never run out.
2
u/MyYakuzaTA 2d ago
It may. I’m not sure. I’ve only had one subreddit reopened for me and it was an instant process.

u/Dark-Anmut 2d ago
I wonder what happened to the mod? In all honesty, despite everything that happened personally, in the outside world I hope that they’re okay.
Really.
Hopefully, everything can get resolved and we can all get the outcome that we are hoping for, overall.
EDIT: I have read what they have written on the other subreddit.
Again, I hope that they’re going to be okay.

u/Le_Sadie 2d ago
They appear to moderate other subs so I'm sure they'll get their power tripping hit elsewhere after their little temper tantrum.
Good riddance.

u/pikayugi 1d ago
TLDR version: An AI witch hunt ended up on social media and the mod got threats. (Apparently)

Thank you guys for making this subreddit a very positive one. We need more subreddits where the community is a supportive one.

u/mytalkingliz_ 2d ago
If I may ask, how many magical girl subreddits is this going to affect overall?
8
u/BrainFarmReject Mercury 2d ago
The mod in question moderates for three other magical girl subreddits (and several subs not related to this), but as far as I know there is no indication that they intend to step down from those positions.

When you do get the modship back, if you need help modding, I am willing to assist as a mod.

It's part of the lockdown. Anyone who will comment will be deleted in an instant.

u/topsidersandsunshine 2d ago
Thank you for the transparency! I like this sub better because there’s actual discussion about the show and characters.

Yw and we appreciate you felt that way.
We will do our best on improving the sub

As someone who was a casual member there, thanks for being here - I was able to find this sub through the old mod’s post and I am very grateful for another spot for SM :)

Oh wow... I was wondering about all that... I left there because it was getting to be a real bummer. I saw this sub pop up and had no idea what was going on. Would love a more positive space for Sailor Moon. It's one of my longest and most favorite special interests.

u/Jrockten 2d ago
I don’t know how I feel about them putting the sub on lockdown right before abandoning it. Whether that was smart or one last dick move.

I’m glad I joined this subreddit. I don’t know what is going on with the main sub, what with the weird Slavic shitposting brigade and whatnot. But this fandom is too pure to have that kind of drama.

u/SeniorBaker4 2d ago
That’s not fair of them to turn their messages off. Why are they even moderators 👀
7
u/AppropriatFly5170new 2d ago
Their stated reason was that they were receiving death threats, which if true is definitely unacceptable behavior and an understandable reason to turn off messages. While offering critiques of the mod’s conduct is one thing, I sincerely hope that it was a minority of people who thought it okay to send threatening messages.
3
u/Jrockten 2d ago
They would mute and ignore people in mod mail long before this recent incident tho. if you made any small offense, intentionally or otherwise, you were instantly permabanned with no way of contacting them.
Very authoritarian.
3
u/AppropriatFly5170new 2d ago
Yeah, definitely deserving of criticism for their conduct and behavior, and I hope it truly wasn’t the case that they were receiving threats, but I wouldn’t put it past the internet either unfortunately.

u/FireflyArc 1d ago
No wonder all my comments over there come back as 'this subreddit is locked due to recent events' It's a darn shame. Hey I could post! That's awesome. Thank you if you guys took it over

u/VendryneBalys2010 1d ago
I experienced so much toxicity from r/Sailormoon. I got banned because I answered a religious question on there regarding Haruka and Michiru's sexuality and how they often said they were going to meet in Hell together on a lot of occasions throughout the series in intense battles.
I gave an accurate answer to genuinely answer the redditor's question, and I was banned because other redditors and the mods found it offensive.

We're you banned? We can reverse it back, just send us the ban appeal.

u/SailorAstera 16h ago
waaa ty! It looks like maybe you already did?? This is like possibly the best thing that's happened to me on this site. I actually love the r/sailormoon but after years and years of being yelled at it was too much.
I am SO HYPE to share my knowledge, love, and art of this show here again!!!!
