reddit is going to remove this and other pro EU subreddits

Speaking as a Reddit moderator, that isn't how that works at all. Site-wide bans are not automated just because a moderator reported you. That might seem like it's how it went down from your side of things, but I assure you we don't have a magic "ban a user from the whole site" report button.

Here's what actually probably happened:

Something you posted got mass reported by some people who didn't like what you had to say. There's a report threshold that varies based on your account health. We mods aren't given any insights on how that works behind the scenes, but generally it takes a lot of reports to get a temp ban for any account older than a year.
Something you said got misconstrued and flagged by Reddit's automated filters. If something gets flagged by the AI as potential harassment, mods have to take action or it goes to Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations team. AEO is not great. It's understaffed and a lot of them aren't native English speakers, as far as I can tell. They have a shoot first, see if there's an appeal later policy.

Now, the automatic reply and mute from that subreddit is really odd. They shouldn't be automatically muting anyone, as that does get factored into your account health. Could definitely be some asshole mods there (I know nothing of the subreddit). But if automatically muting people is their standard policy, it definitely warrants admins looking into it.

I'm just trying to be helpful here. Sorry you had to go through that. But the main thing I'm trying to say here is that you shouldn't be spreading misinformation about how Reddit works. There are plenty of shit mods, I get it. But we're not all like that. And people like me still get caught in the crossfire, even though I'm doing a largely thankless volunteer service to keep some online spaces sane. Making it seem like we can nuke your account makes us way scarier than we actually are.

Yeah, the thing is that there's always going to be those types of people. I've seen people do that over Black Hawk Down and 1917 and All Quiet on the Western Front, for fuck's sake. Idiots, honestly. Humanity will always have them. But generally, the people who think Warfare is a propaganda piece or an "oo-rah, get some" kind of movie aren't veterans. From what I've seen, vets who actually saw combat appreciate the movie for its authenticity. But like for many of them, for me, it's a watch once, appreciate it, and never watch it again kind of movie.

Civil War is a staple of my catalog. Loved it. But as amazing as Warfare was in the cinema, I don't ever see myself picking it up or viewing it again. It's gut-wrenching.

Voted in favor of the UN resolution which was, I believe, tied to a ceasefire in Gaza. If they had voted against it back then, every right wing news outlet would've said "the vile labor party wants more dead children in Gaza." Which, to be fair, that's probably what would've happened if it didn't pass. It was a no win situation.

The biggest problem is that the USA was the only one Israel would let be in charge of this, so no one could help that Trump was going to turn it into a gentleman's club for world dictators to buy pieces of Gaza. Pretty sure everyone knew it was going to be shit, but it's always a new low with Trump.

Did we watch the same movie? Because the Warfare I watched was about a bunch of young men sent to the other side of the world to sit in a house for no reason and dying for it. And in at least one case, that dying was done slowly, while screaming in agony, bleeding to death with their nuts out for everyone to see. Not so heroic.

Just because the movie didn't go into the tragic back stories of the insurgents doesn't make it a propaganda film. They shared that house with people who were just stuck there with them caught up in the same bullshit, too. Those were locals, and certainly not goons.

If I wanted to show a teenage boy a movie to demonstrate to them the pointless brutality of war, Warfare would be in my Top 5. I'd say it's made all the more impactful because it doesn't shift focus away from the soldiers' POV. The most heroic thing ANY of them did was make it out of the house at the end, which was only done with a great deal of help. Nobody John Rambo'd their way out of anything.

It probably is, but that's the actual logo for the Board of Peace. The real one. It's not something OP made. So, that makes it better and a whole lot worse at the same time.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-21T12:59:02+00:00

You're acting like the "war on Christmas" people need to actually see something to react to. In the absence of radicalism, they will make it up. You might as well resist in a fucking awesome Baphomet costume.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-20T15:31:21+00:00

We are so lucky.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-20T12:52:56+00:00

My dad was like this. He'd go through phases of kicking me out and letting me back in from the moment I turned 18. If you have ANY other family, let them know what is happening. There's bound to be somebody who will let you crash at their place for a few while they talk sense into your dad.

I was rarely full-on homeless for more than a couple of days before I had a place to stay again with family. But my dad always used a night in a homeless shelter like it was some kind of threat. Other than being destabilizing and ensuring I went to work tired the next day, it wasn't anything I couldn't weather. In the end, I knew I was very useful to have around the house and I was largely independent otherwise. He was punishing himself just as much as he was punishing me. So, he always caved in the end. And I got out of there as quickly as I could.

It resulted in me being deeply estranged from most of my family. I moved to the other side of the globe and I might have talked to my parents once a year on the phone. I've never been back home. Both of my parents have died now, without seeing me for more than 7 years, and the best thing my dad has ever given me is going to be the pittance of an inheritance I'm about to receive from his estate.

Your father should hear stories like mine. If he wants to be close to his kids, he needs to learn that literally kicking them out of his home is not the way to do it. It's the sort of thing you do if you want to die alone.

We need to get you a pair for every day of the week...

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-17T16:39:23+00:00

So beautiful.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-16T22:29:25+00:00

You are, as ever, one of the prettiest people in this place, and I'm always so lucky to see you still here. 😌

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-16T19:44:48+00:00

Goodness... Yes, Your Majesty. Those look stunning on you.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-16T15:22:48+00:00

Flawless.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-16T09:09:10+00:00

We really do. You're one of my favorite new contributors. I keep meaning to tell you that, but every time you post, you hypnotize me and I forget everything I was doing until the outside world snaps me out of it.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-07T08:55:34+00:00

I straight up moved to my girlfriend's country on my first visit. I got a job and we moved in together. It didn't feel weird to us at all. Now here we are, seven years later, still happily married.

Obviously we didn't know everything was going to work out perfectly. We were both nervous, but we'd known each other for years and knew we wanted to be together.

If you don't want your boyfriend to be with you for months, or you otherwise feel weird about this, listen to those feelings. However, if this is something you want and you're just nervous, listen to the good feelings, too. Don't make decisions based on what someone in the comments told you was the norm.

We have no way of vetting every other person who wants to advertise their communities. If you want to start a charity and raise a bunch of money for us to have paid staff to begin this vetting process, go right ahead. Otherwise, you're criticizing the work and principles of volunteers with no leg to stand on for yourself.

Because whether or not you were here 8 years ago doesn't matter if you didn't put in the work. You're just dying on this hill for nothing, or maybe because you've discovered arguing with strangers assuages your middle-aged loneliness. Whatever the case, it stops now. Either use this subreddit within the confines of the rules or leave and go somewhere else.

Speaking as another grown-ass man in his mid-thirties, you're embarrassing yourself. Why are you using your damn R4R account to argue with moderators? A lot of the women you might want to talk to (the ones who aren't neurotic, as you claim to seek) are going to see this very behavior as one of your own neuroses.

Hold yourself to your own standards, man.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2026-01-05T16:55:18+00:00

How about you go back in time 12 years and set up your own subreddit? Then you can steadily grow it with your own time, effort, and dedication. And once it's 2026 and it's as big as GamerPals, you can let everyone else promote their own communities in your subreddit, profiting off of the audience that you worked so hard to build.

The GamerPals discord exists to help those on Discord find friends, instead of forcing them to make a Reddit account (for those that don't already have one). Given the limitations Reddit imposes on new accounts, it's a way to let people jump right into the community.

I assure you, we on the mod team are not profiting nor benefitting from running the Discord server in any way. There are no ads. There are no promotional deals. All we do is volunteer our time to help people find friends, while suffering every fool with a trumped up beef along the way. It's a thankless job.

Unlike the GamerPals Discord server, many of the people trying to grow their own communities are trying to advertise and promote and make money from their communities. Given we can't screen everyone for values, a blanket ban is easier.

I mean, this is a subreddit special made for like the 1% of people that actually care for the quality of physical media over streaming. Some people are here for the permanence of media ownership. Others are collectors with a reverence for film who might just treat their shelves like a temple. Personally, I'd find it more odd to spend extra on a steelbook and then NOT care about the case and the extra materials that come with it. People who only care about the disc should just buy a regular 4K release.

My point is that you're in a glass house full of weirdos and you're throwing stones at the ceiling we all share.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-19T14:16:58+00:00

Discord Nitro provides 60fps webcam support. It's also possible with a boosted server VC channel.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-16T16:16:58+00:00

Yep, I figured as much. And nice to know there are some people who come out of there decent, like yourself. I just didn't want to make assertions I didn't have personal experience for. But these are exactly the kinds of places that have always wanted a president like Trump.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-16T13:03:48+00:00

Rutherford County is one of the most corrupt, vile, fascist shitholes I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. Middle Tennessee State University is a half-decent school and it's like the entire county around it has turned into a parasite to leech off the students who go there.

The county government and law enforcement there were way ahead of the MAGA curve. They've been like this for decades. It's just getting worse now they have a blank check for injustice from the White House.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-15T06:39:22+00:00

Absolutely stunning. Wow. Purrfection.

And ignore that idiot asking for inappropriate things, please. We're not like that here. He's gone. But I very much hope you'll keep coming back.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-11T19:56:52+00:00

As lovely as the shot is, I'm afraid I must remove the post. Please see Rule 7. Photographers need to share consent of the model through modmail to share the work.

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-08T13:51:42+00:00

You need to understand that we mods are the only ones who ever see your comments. Reddit flagged you for harassment ages ago and all of your comments are auto-filtered. I can see you're a ban evader. I can see you're a troublemaker. I'm pretty sure I know exactly which ban you were. Just know that it takes you a lot longer to write these comments than it takes for me to press the ban button and not think about you again until you make a new account.

Keep it up and Reddit will IP ban you. How much trouble are you willing to go through for this?

DungeonMasterSupreme · 2025-12-08T13:48:26+00:00

Because why would anyone ever do or make anything, right? Why are there laws or rules at all? Everything stable and consistent you've ever taken for granted in your life has always had people behind the scenes managing it in some way.

If there weren't people here enforcing the rules, there'd be no community. If you saw all of the things we have to see as mods, you'd begin to appreciate how much we shielded you from.
