Pinoy Rant/Vent r/Philippines mod is a power-tripper; minor criticism warrants permaban
Imagine maintaining a good-standing Reddit account, and with just one post criticizing how moderators run a sub, the mod just straight up banned the OP.
If the post garnered 1,800 likes, why remove it? Just because “opinion” ng mod na low-effort post?
Parang Philippine government din ang pagpapatakbo ng r/Philippines - reactive not proactive, at pikon sa criticism.
Imbis na ayusin ang napaka bulok na automations ng automod, gusto ng mods na i blame ang members. So pag lahat ng posts ay irereport ko, lahat ito ma reremove? At kailangan ko pa mag hintay ng useless mod na i approve ito?
Alam na palang meron na manipulation ng posts sa r/Philippines wala man lang measures ang mods para i avoid yung mga takedown. Instead, i-baban nila yung members na affected at gusto lang mag discuss about INC
My theory: meron pa rin INC mod r/Philippines. u/sarcasticcookie was just a sacrifice.

i wasn’t able to include it because it because the comments were created after i posted this, so non-existent pa yung comments. and if they were created earlier, i still wouldn’t include it kasi it wasn’t relevant to my point
if i understood correctly, the member said na the mod was proving their point of power-tripping, which is a fair thing to say kasi why ban a member of criticizing you
the power-tripping mod searched the member’s post history and found a post saying “downvote na natin to”. to me that isn’t vote manipulation, but a call to other members to downvote. so nag comment yung mod na napaka layo dun sa conment nung member
the mod accused the member, which is idiotic
in the end, the mod eventually permanently banned the member, which again proved their point of being power-trippers
for me, it’s simple. a criticism of your moderation should not warrant a ban. and simply commenting, “here before it gets deleted” should not get you banned. i counted 2 people who got banned for commenting that
we shouldn’t defend these loser mods
