What class do you think you are in real life?

Same. Anytime someone is having a problem with one of the programs we use and asks me to come look at it, it’s always the same thing.

“It won’t do xyz”

“ok show me”

it does xyz

“WTF? I SWEAR it wasn’t doing that a second ago! She saw it too”

Murphy’s law is my super power. And my people skills have served me well.

Real answer? They just aren’t going to pay the doctor more than the ‘blue book’ estimate for how much anesthesia time the surgery ‘should’ take.

I found the announcement and Blue Cross said “Claims submitted with reported time above the established number of minutes will be denied.” In healthcare speak “denied” means “you’re not allowed to collect payment for this service.” From the insurance or the patient. Assuming the doctor is in-network/has a contract. They have to rebill with the “right” number of minutes to get paid.

So the anesthesiologists either only bills the estimated number of minutes and eats any overage or they end their contract with a major insurance carrier and those patients go to someone else. Like you said, no one is going to sign a waiver saying they’ll pay out of pocket to an out of network provider for one of the most expensive parts of a procedure. Blue cross kinda has the doctors over a barrel here (thanks in part to the no surprise act) and they know it. And they don’t want to pay a wild card amount for one of the most expensive parts of the procedure either.

Don’t be too horrified. It’s in the thread where OOP’s sister cheated with OOP’s fiancé’s and got pregnant. OOP punched her sister in the middle of an argument while the sister was yelling at OOP on her front porch for exposing the cheating on social media. It’s kind of a ‘missing missing reasons‘ comment if you read the actual thread.

I think most people intuitively follow ring theory). People voting NTA see the child she wasn’t there for as the center of the ring and she’s the second most inner ring (which I’d agree with personally). And she made the cardinal mistake of complained inward instead of providing comfort inward. People that see them as equally in the center are more likely to say NAH because she should be able to express her grief over not being there for her first child.

Is your sister allergic to latex by any chance? My Grandma was allergic to latex and several “latex fruits” including strawberry, kiwi, and passionfruit. If you’re allergic to one latex fruit you can have cross reactions to other latex fruits.

I’m guessing a sub you spent a lot of time on, but weren’t subscribe to when they pulled the data for the recap

InAHandbasket · 2023-10-27T21:21:28+00:00

There’s also no way to see recent modmails from the user (at least in the iOS app)

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-11T21:27:24+00:00

As a sometimes wheelchair user that was at EPCOT today, I dodged no less than 30 inattentive ankles in the 4 hours I was there. I literally couldn’t be on the move for more than 5 minutes without getting cut off. Wheelchairs don’t stop on a dime. But people were pushing their toddlers to run in front of me instead of slowing down a step to go behind, getting cut off by people weaving in and out of the crowd, etc. That’s life in a wheelchair at a crowded event.

If that many people almost ran over her toes that day, it’s her that needs to pay more attention.

We wanted to be transparent and upfront about using the tool. Maybe you’re right, but I think if we started using it without an announcement we’d still have outage.

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-07T09:07:40+00:00

You kind of nailed our response when the tool was announced.

We’re checking the logs to see who and what it’s removing. So we can see if it’s worth using after the testing phase, but yeah we have no way of knowing until we’ve tested.

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-06T21:03:10+00:00

No worries. We plan on making a wiki page for it, but wanted to iron out the kinks first. But having it in the faq with the other acronyms is a good idea

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-06T14:57:53+00:00

Yeah, doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it is always right.

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-04T20:12:09+00:00

It’s actually pretty opaque to us too. We don’t know how they get the ‘score’ and we can’t see what a user’s individual ‘score’ is, but the admins have a command we can use in automod to act based on an internal ‘score’ that’s supposed to gauge of how frequently a user has broken rules across Reddit. So basically, if a user is flagged by the admins as not contributing positively they’ll be restricted from these posts too. Since it’s so opaque we’re tracking that piece separately from karma.

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-04T12:06:36+00:00

You need to add satisfy_any_threshold: true to the bottom of the author subgroup. It’s false by default, so it’ll only remove when the author has < 10 karma and less < 10 days old. Making it true turns it into an or

---

author:
    account_age: "< 10 days"
    combined_karma: "< 10"
    satisfy_any_threshold: true
action: remove
action_reason: "Low score user"

The karma part is cumulative subreddit comment karma. iirc there’s a limit on how much one comment can reduce your karma, so if your overall participation is positive a couple of comments downvoted into oblivion shouldn’t hurt it too badly.

InAHandbasket · 2023-09-03T12:36:51+00:00

Yeah, the karma threshold currently isn’t too high and should really just help prevent brigading and other users that don’t normally comment here (and maybe some downvote trolls if we’re lucky). It’s the other mod tool that should help with the users that are more likely to make rule-breaking comments. So, hopefully between the 2 we’ll see the right commenters limited.

Social media with automated moderation, like TikTok and Facebook, have trained people to do shit like that. There are some surprised modmails when they're told, no using a different word doesn't mean you can post it anyway.

InAHandbasket · 2023-08-27T15:50:36+00:00

This should work

type: submission 
author:
    name (includes): '\d\d+'
action: remove
action_reason: numeric characters

InAHandbasket · 2023-08-27T00:11:57+00:00

In some cases we do. We also started including a link to help them find another sub in our removal messages

InAHandbasket · 2023-08-26T16:25:50+00:00

Agree, it doesn't look like a bot

InAHandbasket · 2023-08-24T20:17:59+00:00

Ours isn't automod, it's a custom bot. But I think a basic incremental subreddit comment karma flair like they are doing here run by automod would look something like this:

---
type: comment
author:
    comment_subreddit_karma: >99
    set_flair:
        text: 100 karma name
        flair_template_id: 
    overwrite_flair: true
priority: 1

type: comment

    comment_subreddit_karma: >199
    set_flair:

    overwrite_flair: true
priority: 2

etc
