[arbitrage]

Reddit came down hard on threatening mods the other year. Did you forget, or are you omitting that on purpose to strengthen your argument?

If you're a mod, and get threatened, ban the user. It's simple. Move on with your life. 90% of your problems in Reddit are caused by 10% of the people. Get rid of the trouble makers and your job is a cakewalk.

Is this really that difficult to reason through?

Have you ever moderated a sufficiently large community?

threats always come after the ban and is trivial to create a new account and continue the threats. the complaints about mod harrassment are as old as reddit but spez always promissed solutions and never delivered. heck, my sub had its mod discussion archive leaked - on reddit!, we reported it to admins repatedly and they did a big nothing.

one of my mod colleagues got doxxed and had a banned user ringing at his very physical door demanding "to discuss the issue", how would you feel about it ?

edit: and this is a boring country sub, I can't even imagine what modding a political sub is like.
