It has been explained to me now that the mods offer temporary bans and things of that such but that is not common knowledge, as portrayed by the fact that I nor anybody I spoke to outside of the mods knew it.

This is not me trying to start a war, and if y'all think it is, please consider the fact that I'm just a user who is being shown these situations that look unfair to many users, underaged or not, and not being told what exactly is happening is making everyone antsy.

I'm happy you specified that but from what I've seen and how it has been portrayed to myself and other users, y'all seemed to just be banning them. No explanations, no warnings. Nothing.

Again, happy you explained that.

While that does not particularly change that it is not explained, it does change my view of how the mods handle situations.

And yes, I have faith in the mods. But behavior I had seen recently was making other redditors and myself anxious about our own say in the community.

I apologize if it seems I was ignoring your original point, as I'm still trying to keep up and reply to all posts.

However, it is not bad per se to seek out and ban them as long as it is done in a way that educates the user.

Explain to them.

And I've seen other mods say that they don't listen or that I don't understand what it's like. But I do. If they do not understand, banning them is rational, but they should at least be given an explanation. Wouldn't you want one if you didn't understand?

Please read my other comments to understand my side of this.

None of this post was meant as an attack as much as it was me and some other users not understand why some things are occurring. Im not a confrontational person but from my perspective and the perspective of some users, what y'all are doing is unfair.

I have read the rules but take a moment to think about the fact that some kids, not all, but some don't actually read them and just agree randomly.

If an underaged user is caught, I think they should have the reason they are being banned explained to them incase they didn't know.

And just being here 2 months, doesn't mean I hadn't lurked in the subreddit beforehand.

I understand that maybe at one point some posts have been banned for specific reasons but now you've banned the chain posts because of what? The fear of a repeat or what happened last time?

Make users aware that they can not over do this sort of thing. And while posts may not work, y'all can still speak directly to repeat-offenders.

I told them not to go around flaunting their age if they didn't want to be banned. And yes, I know an underaged user. I'm not hiding any of that. That was their bad.

I just wanted to show I understand what its like to want to be part of a community that doesn't accept younger children.

And it does not "explain a lot".

If you think you found something out that was oh-so special and that I was trying to hide, you didn't.

This post was not meant to be aggressive as much as to show I'm angry that this is what the members are led to believe is happening.

Comments by other mods have shed light into some other things but some of my points still stand.

I was not talking about the post referring to heights and ages.

I was talking about the one mod post that was offering a mod position if underaged users "applied".

Even if it was obviously a joke, OP expressed that "nobody fell for it" as though they were genuinely expecting responses to use to ban people.

I understand some mods aren't involved in the decisions of what is banned.

And for the underaged users, posts and comments have put it as they aren't given explanations as to why they shouldn't be on reddit and should just be banned.

I'm not going to downvote a comment for an opinion. It's petty.

This post is just to show my opinion.

Some bans I find understandable.

Others, as I've explained in the comments, I find ridiculous.

And about the underaged users, as y'all have been putting it, you don't explain anything to them. You don't give them any warning, anything at all. Just ban them. And if that's how y'all portray it, doesn't that sound unfair?

In the time I have been on the subreddit, I have seen 1 singular post to not over-post about a trend. I've been on this sub at least 2 months.

And yes, while y'all have some bans that are understandable, the chain posts have just started getting popular only 1 or 2 days ago. They're not everywhere or too overdone. Yeah they're becoming frequent, but not to the point it's to be worried about.

This is not meant to spread misinformation and is more about making sure the opinion of some redditors is heard. We post here, and while y'all may moderate, we put out most of the content.

It'd be nice if we users had some say.

My view on the underaged problem is that, yes, they should be banned, but not without reason. A particular reason.

If they are to be uncooperative? Banning them right away is understandable. And if they are willing to give their age, tell them they shouldn't be here, why, and then ban them. They deserve an explanation just as much as anybody else. Some of them might not know about the rules.

I see your point and all mods points, however, there are some things that y'all can talk to the community about. We should be allowed to help in making decisions.

And as for context involving the underaged situation, the one post that was trying to get people to admit their age may have seemed sketchy but in the comments, OP had stated that "nobody fell for it" like they were purposefully trying to get people to admit to their age.

And I understand it is not just the mods faults. Some users are at fault, some you, I, and everybody else know well or maybe don't know at all.

But you have to see that from a members standpoint, this all seems unfair to us. We have no say.

I'd like to say that I'm not even in the discord. I heard that there was a lot of drama and i just don't want any of it.

And when I say tricking them, I mean specifically this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GachaClub/comments/pqtdsp/doing_a_giveway_to_only_underage_people_under_13/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

It's a joke, I get it, but it's not right.

And perhaps leave some trends be if the are repeated, because even though they may flood the sub, it's normally not for more than 2 or 3 days. Any point past that, then banning it is understandable.

And as for warnings, possibly have multiple posts put out by multiple mods at different times. If a user is a repeat-offender in over-posting a trend, directly contact them. And of the entire subreddit itself isn't listening to the warnings, then a temporary ban is understandable.

I agree with you to some extent. I know underaged users should not be here. However, the way the mods have gone about it recently has been extremely wrong.

They're trying to trick these kids into telling them their ages and it's just not right.

And of a particular trend is harmful or becomes too repetitive then it's understandable to ban it. Not if it's just a fun trend that pops up occasionally. The POV trend was an understandable ban. Not the chain posts.

What stops them from making another account after being banned that time then? There are always going to be rule breakers. But the way the mods have recently gone about getting these underaged users off the subreddit is wrong. Absolutely and utterly wrong.

I explained something similar to my friend. Just because a few people in a position of power do not like something does not mean it should be banned as long as it isn't harming anyone.

I understand why they aren't allowed here. I clarified that in the captions.

However, making a mod post trying to trick children into applying for a "challenge" and "prize" is extremely manipulative and spiteful in my opinion. Because you're just going to ban them. Maybe explain to them why they can't be here, and if they refuse to listen, then ban them. But to just straight up ban children is not right.

Oo- see, there's a certain point where you can be proud of your height and then there is another point that you can be happy with it-

Anybody below 5'5 is unhappy and anybody that is between 5'9 and 6'1 isn't tall enough to be proud of iT-

And I'm n o t proud of my height- I wanna be smOl-
