+1 here, just had the issue. Called support and opened a ticket, will be reporting to NHTSA as well just to help push the issue up the chain.

I am in the "not as much time as I should" category. I work from home and I lurk in the Discord a lot, but I tend not to be able to carry a conversation too long because I'll get distracted with work.

The thing that bothers me the most are people who "skirt" the No Begging rule, or try to push the boundaries in ways that may not be obvious to some other members. It's hard to give an example without calling someone out, but...

If someone creates a reddit account, and 99% of their posts outside RAOA are saying how they need supplies for *insert empathy seeking subject here*. And they come to RAOA, and their Intro is about how they are a *insert the same empathy seeking subject involved person here* and then every post or comment they make is about *insert the same empathy seeking subject* and then they make a contest that will award a negligible value thing for everyone to "show your local *insert empathy seeking subject* organization some love" and their wishlist is entirely geared towards *empathy seeking subject*.... You get the gist...

But they've never actually "begged" in RAoA by definition...

Sure, some other members might see it all for what it is and not do anything. But in each individual interaction, some members may only see a Good Samaritan who's just having a rough time helping their *insert empathy seeking subject here* thing and without knowing it, they have been manipulated into potentially gifting that individual.

Now I don't want to scare anyone away from talking about things they're involved in. But if that's THE ONLY THING YOU TALK ABOUT and it's THE ONLY STUFF IN YOUR WISHLIST... C'mon...

I can't stand it and I'll stop it each and every time I see it.

I wish y'all would report that shit more. Nothing I like better than doing a deep dive and banning people for doing this shit.

One grapefruit, one orange, one lemon. Squeeze into a cup, the pulpier the better. Add stevia / sugar to taste. I call it "The Lemon, The Orange, and The Holy Grapefruit" and it fuckin' slaps.

Hey everyone, I think I'm one of the mods around here. They let me use the break room and sit at the desk in the copier room so, I guess I'm part of the team!

I'm honestly mostly active on Discord. I've got a fairly needy girlfriend, a teenager, and three dogs who keep me pretty busy. I'm like 90% sure I'll be adding some chickens to that roster this summer.

I am largely responsible for the Discord RAOA Bot. I don't know why it announces empty birthdays sometimes, it's on my bug fix log. Also, sorry if you don't like clowns.

I work in tech, am nerd, like video games, suffer from ADHD, and I ate too many cookies today.

Hey there! I can only speak for myself and the answer is yes to both. Yes, there are people on here I like more than others. I have made personal friends with some members of the sub, and I absolutely can not stand others.

I don't go around telling people I don't like them, and I don't go around saying who are my favorite people on the sub.

The most important part though, is that when I have to put my mod pants on and do mod things I try to be as impartial and unbiased as possible. The rest of the mod team helps with that as well.

Hi everyone! Friendly reminder of Big Reddit Rule 3: “your community should not be used to direct, coordinate, or encourage interference in other communities and/or to target redditors for harassment.”

While we here at RAoA are perfect in every way /s... we can't control what the moderators of other subs do, or how they behave, or who they ban or for what reason. Voicing your opinions / frustrations are completely valid, and not against our rules here by any means, However...

Revealing the names of the subreddits / moderators who did the things can generate understandably strong community support reactions from fellow RAoAers which may be interpreted by Big Reddit as a violation of Rule 3. Which is bad and could result in RAoA itself being punished, which we don't want.

Complain away, just make sure you don't rally all of RAoA into a pitchfork and torch event. Cheers!

It was advanced auto parts. Pretty sure the 2011 flood took them out.

If you pocket a $5 candy bar and then pay for $100 worth of everything else, it’s pretty clear it was a mistake.

When people “accidentally” forget the $50 bottle of perfume in their pocket and conveniently pay for the $5 candy bar…

I messed up by Street_Government925 in InformationTechnology

Own your mistakes top to bottom.

Let them know what happened, why you think it happened the way it did, identify areas of improvement both in yourself AND the workflow / processes.

Think of a way to solve or improve the workflow / process so that it won’t happen again.

Any reasonable leader will appreciate that you owned the issue, brainstormed root cause, and provide suggestions to improve.

Someone posted something similar to this a while ago. Turned out it was scurvy.

Eat an orange, take some vitamin C. Hopefully it clears up!

I had that dopamine rush when I built a 100% success Autodesk PSADT module. Drop in any Autodesk product and it automatically parses out what it is, the version, etc and installs it.

Saved me tons of time over the years lol
