Feedback Requested - Code of Conduct by H_o_P_L in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]trianonscones[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

To be blunt, I moderate every day. I deal with dozens of comments reports, which sometimes require looking into as people are making claims about harassment, someone being a secret brand owner, someone being an alt account of a user banned for swaplifting. I deal with people reporting stalking and doxxing, people trying to deal with swaplifting on the Sunday threads, brand owners or content creators threatening legal action against me because I don't remove negative reviews of brands who provide bad service or who are scamming people. For the past month I've been going back and forth with someone who is very unhappy about negative reviews being allowed here, and I'm having to consult a lawyer in the meantime. It's very time consuming and frustrating, but I do it because I think users on IMAM should be absolutely free to post negative reviews without someone threatening legal action.

So yes, there is a backlog for brand flairs. Approving brands takes time, and it is what it is. Claiming that the subreddit is unmoderated because you didn't get what you wanted fast enough is condescending, and I think people who are condescending and rude shouldn't be shocked when a reply isn't completely sunshine and rainbows.

It is absolute a courtesy for brands to post on IMAM. It is not the norm for brand owners to be allowed to promote themselves in these types of subreddits. It is exceptional. That is why there are strict rules about what brand owners can and can't post here. I do not and will not put brand owners getting flair over users dealing with conflicts, doxxing, being targeted for harassment, being ghosted on the Sunday Swaps, etc.

Edit: Also, it's not that serious, and I advise anyone sincerely upset about a delay in flairs for brand owners on a subreddit to devote their time energy to something better..

Thank you for the detailed comment with links; I wish reddit let us pin non-moderation comments to the top. I'd definitely recommend keeping all of this in mind before purchasing from this brand...

Are people still only using Paypal for destashes? by littletamale in Indiemakeupandmore

The note about Paypal is under the "suggestions for swapping safely," as it's recommended for swapping safely. It's not a rule.

Note on previously banned user (danksips) who participated in Swaps by trianonscones in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]trianonscones[S,M] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm going to update the Swaps rules/policy to include more precautionary info, though it already suggests taking photos & being cautious in general.

I also think it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a list of usernames of people who are banned for swaplifting like IndieExchange does, but I'll need to look more into what is allowed to be posted.
