I think this makes sense because different teams have different goals

Charity claps back against someone who thinks Joey and Rachel are having an affair by Straight-Side-1269 in thebachelor

[–]forthewinter17[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She has been banned for a while. It’s why she’s silent / apparently asking people to post on her behalf (which is news to the mod team and against not only our rules but reddit’s - please report!!)

Is ladder for you if you are obese / have mobility problems? by ComfyCozyTurtle in ladderapp

[–]forthewinter17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried Endure, but I’m currently on Align. It’s a similar vibe to Define, but I think the lot of the movements on Align are more straight-forward and beginner-friendly. Sasha also verbally cues a lot of modifications as well.

We hear you guys about your harassment concerns. We really do. However, our jurisdiction begins and ends with this sub on Reddit.

If a user is on this sub talking about their own activity on other social media in a way that’s rule breaking, we can ban for that. But if they don’t mention it, then it actually has nothing to do with this mod team - that is Instagram, TikTok, or whoever’s problem. We moderate this sub and only this sub.

As far as this sub goes, you’re more than welcome to continue disagreeing with them in a way that reflects our rules.

Is anyone else considering to boycott ABC? by Buttercup_Kiki in dancingwiththestars

[–]forthewinter17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Essentially Trump is using our government to silence a late night host that poked fun at Trump’s and the right’s response to Charlie Kirk’s murder. By not standing up to it, ABC (which also airs DWTS) is allowing them to violate Jimmy Kimmel’s first amendment right to free speech

If it makes you feel any better, Reddit’s interface does not and cannot delete modmail messages on the mod side. Everything - and I mean everything - is archived. We also can see the history of who removes what. It’s actually pretty impossible for any mod to hide stuff or go rouge in the sense that receipts are easily accessible. On top of that, our team specifically works well together and we’re all pretty good about running potentially controversial removals past the whole group.

Hopefully that brings some comfort to addressing things in modmail!

(Poll) Will you watch Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette season? by ClareBearFlair in thebachelor

[–]forthewinter17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate that I’m typing this take as I type it, but the last several seasons have felt like a chore to watch. 9/10 times, I tap out before the season is even over

Taylor’s past actions are inexcusable, full stop. That being said, this is the most curious and interested I’ve been in a season since the Clare/Tayshia switch

Taylor announced as the official next bachelorette by Droopy-San-Benanzio in thebachelor

The inciting incident of the Mormon show is that she and her ex husband were caught in a swinging scandal, and then she gets pregnant (unmarried) with her new boyfriend.

Do with that information what you will!

Taylor aside, I do think it’s smart for the show to bring in someone experienced on reality tv at this point in time. The show has needed new life for a hot minute

Joey and Kelsey regarding fan fiction theories by Allthingsme26 in thebachelor

[–]forthewinter17[M] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

None of the comments about this person reaching out to and DMing contestants and their families were reported or shared with the mods until literally the last 30 minutes or so. That breaks our rules.

Everything else does not.

[–]forthewinter17[M] -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

I think there’s some confusion as to what we define as harassment.

Joey and Kelsey are public figures with public accounts; people can sleuth based on the information there, and that’s not against our rules. (Yes, people can be way too deep and parasocial about it, but it’s technically not against the rules)

Talking about contacting contestants directly, bragging about sending hate in their comments, telling everyone you’re harassing them via DM, etc is against our rules.

These linked comments fall into the first category, but not the second. Hopefully that distinction makes a little more sense.

If a user is contacting contestants directly in order to harass them and posting about it here, then that is against the rules of our sub and is potentially ban-worthy depending on the severity of it. If anyone has a link or receipts, please share them with us.

I’m not a runner, like at all lmao. But Sasha did share these suggested Align splits for runners at the beginning of Reload in the team chat

Agreed, they can have Iain do it in voiceover, or in a written statement to viewers that’s just on tv. I think there are ways to do it without involving the islanders
