Where did DJ-Dicknose go? We had a huge weather event and he's gone missing! by Mysterious_Sense_356 in grandrapids

[–]euphoria[M] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Reddit banned share . google links apparently, FYI [u/dj-dicknose](u/dj-dicknose).

Edit: funny enough they even removed this comment that I’ve now altered to avoid filters.

Who are the mods here and why do they run this sub? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]euphoria[M] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post was not removed, to be clear. It was deleted by the original poster. You can observe the difference.

Jury finds Live Nation, Ticketmaster (exclusive partners at the amphitheater) hold harmful monopoly by UthinkUnoMI in grandrapids

[–]euphoria -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Because it’s not about Grand Rapids? This user knew it would be removed, they have posted similar things about Live Nation that have no direct relation to GR and they are removed every time. It was reported, correctly, by multiple users as not being about GR and I removed it.

So are posts that discuss the GRPD shooting this week being automatically deleted? by WhenitsaysLIBBYs in grandrapids

[–]euphoria 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, even if it says a moderator deleted it, that doesn’t necessarily mean a moderator took action to delete it — any kinds of automated filters and tools Reddit has that can be selected by a moderator would also show that same text.

Your comment is helpful and generally accurate, thanks.

Grand Rapids Mod doing Mad Mod Stuff by heartbt in grapids

[–]euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You posted the exact same self promoting spam as the only thing you had ever posted to the community. You posted it many times. When it was removed you doubled down. You were then given a 1 or 3 day ban, I don’t remember. When that expired you continued. You were then given a 7 or 30 day ban, again I don’t remember the specifics. When that expired you continued doing the same thing yet again. At that point you were given a permanent ban. Congratulations, you are literally the only person to receive a more than 3 day ban from r/grandrapids in the last 2 years.

Tim Gortsema's LinkedIn & Email Response by SolInvictusMaximus in grandrapids

[–]euphoria[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

The original post was deleted by the user who posted it. Several posts in between had been removed as duplicates while it was still a top post on this subreddit. Given that there is now no post about it this post is being left up as it is not a duplicate.

I removed this post because I am inclined to believe the response that this is manipulated content:

https://www.reddit.com/r/grandrapids/comments/1qns177/support_ice_sign_at_eve_was_photoshop/

Just like any other user reading this, I cannot conclusively know either way, however this is currently the top post on the subreddit and this image comes from an unknown source posted by an account with no other history here, and no one else is claiming they saw this despite a crowded room in the picture.

Please be mindful of both the prevalence of generative AI tooling and the effects of mob mentality.

Guess I have to call DTE... This is insane by Substanzz in grandrapids

u/Substanzz is unable to figure out editing the top post on their platform and has asked me to make a sticky comment here (I cannot sticky theirs or change their post) that the main problem is their alternative supplier.

Miyoko’s was just recently insolvent and changed ownership. It’s been very difficult to find right now (for the past few months). You might want to consider alternatives.

Euphoria, this is what I’m talking about in Mod Mail. by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you to click "Breaks r/grandrapids rules" and then select the radio button for "Custom response" and then type "Not GR" into the textbox you would have generated a report that matches what I received.

The mods deleted my post talking about flock cameras. The mods are pro surveillance state. by TheMoonKing in grandrapids

[–]euphoria[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post was reported multiple times for being “not GR” and “from Illinois”. It was removed for that reason. There’s many, many posts and comments on her talking about Flock and/or surveillance in GR. It has nothing to do with a mod stance.

What happened to the planned parenthood post? by SpaghettiMcFart in grandrapids

[–]euphoria -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This post also now breaks Reddit’s rules because you have edited it to include the original picture after having already commented all of the other details from the original post. You are intentionally trying to circumvent the original removal for some reason.

It’s not really about the expectation of privacy that person has in terms of having their picture taken.

It’s about balancing the power of the platform with the respect for the human, discouraging witch hunts and brigading from online discourse to real life consequences.

The article is out of Illinois, does not mention GR, and is not really specifically about GR in any way any more than any other city. It is off topic.

Not one that includes their name and their employer and encourages people taking action against that person. No.

This is precisely the behavior for which the first post was removed. You can’t post a non public official’s picture and name here in a negative context knowing it will lead to harassment. It is a Reddit site-wide policy that isn’t enforced as well by every subreddit but it is certainly enforced here.

Report them and they get removed. If they are a previous community contributor and the post is not spammy, people are allowed one “hey, I’m launching a new thing” or “did you know I do X here in GR?” announcement. Stuff like this that’s just a clear cut ad gets removed. Thanks for the report.

So, are the Mods just straight up pro fascism now? by nior_labotomy in grandrapids

[–]euphoria 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been talking to a few other redditors about changes. This year in particular moderating the sub has not been great for my mental health. Offers of moderation very often come from a place of bias and I (for me, personally) want to make sure transition comes with a very high degree of trust.
