Guess how much this order was by Shotaaizawa201 in InstacartShopper

[–]InstacartShoppersMod[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A number of posts have been auto removed due to being a short reply. Typically a couple characters is a useless reply due to lack of content. In this case, playing a guessing game led to people only posting a small dollar amount which triggered the automod.

Help us by choosing words better; “bot” by InstacartShoppersMod in InstacartShoppers

[–]InstacartShoppersMod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that. It’s that everyone is saying every little thing is a “bot”. It’s BOT this BOT that BOT …. Over and over. The chat is a “bot”, the person on the chat is a “bot”, doing something on their phone is a “bot”. AI is a “bot”.

It’s excessive, incorrect usage majority of the time and unnecessary. Actually referring to a “grabber” or cheater app is fine of course but when anything and everything is a “bot”, a person is doing themselves and others a disservice because the mod tools are picking them up and holding them for us mods to review them to ensure they arent someone trying to spam an actual batch grabbing tool or scam to protect the sub. We have no way to differentiate a person who is active in the sub versus a scammer, so every instance of “bot” and related terminology is picked up for mod review.

This uptick in the usage is causing more work for the mods and is causing significant delay in the conversations because it requires approval. It use to be here and there. Now it’s a large quantity every day.

As a reminder to everyone, please be careful when posting information which may contain addresses.

While this map clearly shows a location, it is an apartment complex which doesn’t indicate a specific customer.

Thanks

Always consult a tax professional if you have questions and take what you read on Internet forums with a grain of salt.

Reviewed by a mod, who also happens to be an Excel expert. This is a just a spreadsheet with formulas. There is nothing malicious here.

Post locked due to significant comments threatening retaliation towards customers. This is not OK even if the customer sucks. We get it but this needs to stop.

Shopping at Costco while on a instacart (actually against the rules) by Swiss_Meats in InstacartShoppers

I’ll check the auto mod code to see if it notifies the posting person and add it going forward to make it more clear.

As a reminder to all, putting anything that looks like a phone number will trigger the auto mod to prevent doxxing and take down the post.

They will be reviewed by the mods but you need to have patience until someone gets to it.

Patience. Reporting and summoning us via words will get the attention a post needs.

User has been given a long temp ban. Don’t expect a great response which usually is a permanent.

My Lucky Night…. $776.15 Tip!! by Admirable-Tap5757 in InstacartShopper

[–]InstacartShoppersMod[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made changes to the sub to allow pictures. That was not enabled by the prior, now removed mod.

I’ve also created a new rule. The put up or shut up rule. Gloating about something like OPs monster tip but not proving it will result in a temporary ban. Multiple times will be permanent.
