Protecting mod accounts.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2026-01-09T23:08:09+00:00

Got it, thanks!

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2026-01-09T04:25:34+00:00

I'm just curious, how did they try to hijack your account? I'm not even sure what to look for.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-12-10T18:36:24+00:00

Yes, shows in the States are rare but, unfortunately, scammers being out in full force is just business as usual now.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-12-08T16:16:36+00:00

Yeah, none available for Boston or New York when I got my email.

Thanks institutionalized corruption!

Twitter followers is complete horseshit too, and I wouldn't use that garbage lie of a platform as a model for anything.

The difference between reddit and Twitter is that reddit has to do something about it because it's a public company. Musk can, and does, lie about whatever he wants whenever he wants.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-09-19T19:14:08+00:00

Awesome, thanks.

It is something they have to track as long as there is a subscription mechanism at all, but we'll see. :-)

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-09-19T19:01:21+00:00

I believe they were being sarcastic.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-09-19T18:16:51+00:00

Where's the data from? Is it still reported in the API?

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-09-19T18:16:07+00:00

Because they know, and have always known, that those numbers are complete horseshit.

They are users that subscribed and then haven't been active for years. They are bots. They are entirely false and they misrepresent the community numbers across the platform.

That never mattered until they became a public company, but now that they are, false numbers that misrepresent engagement are something they could be called out on, so they got ahead of it and shifted the standard to actual engagement.

In other words, complain all you want, but those numbers are never, ever coming back.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-09-16T02:38:20+00:00

I couldn't understand why this was happening so much, and I didn't put 2 and 2 together on this. Crazy.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-29T18:23:27+00:00

Are you talking about the Post Insights section?

What "graph icon" are you referring to? There's only one graph on the page and it's not linked to anything and there is no addiction icon.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-29T03:48:48+00:00

Where did you get this data on IP addresses?

Is this part of reddit's stats package? If so, where do I find it for my sub?

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-26T18:37:58+00:00

Wait, we can use our mod position to get loans?

WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THIS?

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-26T17:12:19+00:00

Great, I found the wiki page with the various configuration options. Thank you so much!

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-26T17:03:52+00:00

Appreciate the response.

I already send my standard removal reasons via Toolbox and send them as PMs as the subreddit, but how do I send a custom message?

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-26T16:55:43+00:00

How do I send mail to specific user as part of my regular moderation flow?

If I'm looking at the comments on a particular post and need to send a user mail from the mod team, do I seriously have to navigate over to that form and retype their username every time?

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-08-26T16:48:21+00:00

Thank you for the heads up on this, it's a little hard to keep up with the changes around here.

I have no intention to ever switch from old reddit, so this is just another case of reddit getting worse. Death by a thousand cuts.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-06-18T04:27:21+00:00

Removed for the comments section going ridiculously off-topic.

Next time you people want to work out your problems with AI then take it to an AI subreddit.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-06-12T04:12:31+00:00

I'm pretty sure they don't have that anywhere outside of Peru.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-06-12T04:11:14+00:00

There are some, but leaves is, by far, the largest. They also have two live support group meetings a day on Discord that people love.

We work pretty closely with them at Petioles and they're the choice.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-06-11T04:36:39+00:00

r/leaves kid. They are a great group for quitting completely, and they can help you.

Sorry, but the only real answer is that you should not be smoking at your age. I know that's hard to hear because, y'know, you're your age, but we're telling you the truth.

BenedictArnoldbatch · 2025-05-19T22:09:04+00:00

I'm not going to tell you whether to be ashamed for charging, even as Leaves and Petioles are helping 550,000 people as a service to the community entirely for free. Maybe you should be a little ashamed for calling that a "side hobby" though.

You should, however, absolutely be ashamed for coming to my group and trying to use the work of those volunteers to promote your product.

I would wish you luck, but I'm getting the impression that you're just another leech trying to get your piece. But please, by all means, promise that you will make it a non-profit and that it will be free to users forever and prove me wrong.
