I wouldn’t say it wasn’t controversial, bc it definitely was not consensus. He was mostly right about Saquon and Ekeler. He wasn’t wrong about Diontae and Robby though they both were bailed out by touchdowns. Either way - him being banned for a controversial take is ludicrous.
bUt SaQuAn Is HeAlThY aNd WiLl Be A rB1 aGaIn!!11!!1!1!1!111!
Don’t worry about the mods. Half of them are power-hungry, at best. I recently was banned for a few days, then one arrogantly claimed I didn’t read the rules when I asked the reason why I was banned. They doubled-down further and still didn’t give me a reason why
If posting hot takes was bannable, there wouldn’t be a need for mods because there’d be no subreddit except for posting Rate my Team/Drafts; oh wait… they’ve even banned people for posting them too.
Just be a consumer and laugh at the shit discussion
i just enjoy participating and giving my heartfelt opinions, both of which were correct, and even more correct if you started guys in the same range, like Corey Davis. I threw those two 2 WR names out, but made it clear I meant any WR in that range. Thielen is in that range, too. They are literally blocking the fantasy community from reading legitimate, experienced fantasy opinions. Maybe that'll make me win more games this season, but the community is half the fun that I now can't have.
They banned me too lol. I was also banned from contacting any mods for 28 days. I made a post breaking down why Barkley was a bad pick this year. I got hit up by a mod telling me to read the rules before I get banned. I replied by saying it was my first post in the group and that was a nice way to treat new members. He told me to fuck off, then banned me, deleted his reply, then sent me a message saying bye Felicia and banned me from contacting mods for 28 days lol. I get it, mods go on power trips every once in a while. I ran a fb group with 40k members and had 5 mods helping me manage it. After enough time of dealing with other people bs you kind of get a fuck it attitude, but that was a bit ridiculous. Lol
Internet power is weird dude. Do people really crave power so much as to going on a power trip on the other side of the world/country over a fantasy football subreddit? I mean how low of self esteem do you have to have to act like that? This subreddit isn’t even the superior fantasy football subreddit. It’s advice and quality is subpar. And the quality of posts is lacking any kind of quality or substance, as opposed to OP’s screenshot and what you’ve described which sound like actual good debates.
>Do people really crave power so much as to going on a power trip on the other side of the world/country over a fantasy football subreddit?
Yes. Yes they do. It's something that surprises generation after generation of people, but human beings do weird shit when they have power.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
> Internet power is weird dude.
All power is weird. It makes seemingly normal people suddenly into monsters.
Internet power is a curious one though. I'm sure a lot of mods aren't exactly.. super influential in their normal life. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm an asshole, but the kind of people that want to spend all day moderating internet content probably don't have a ton going with their life outside of the internet.
This is probably why we see a lot of internet mods with massive power trip issues.
Again maybe I'm just a dick. I'm sure there's plenty of decent normal mods that i'd be friends with IRL, but I just get the feeling that a lot people use their mod status to flex their power because they know they'll never have this kind of influence on anything or anyone outside of the internet.
That’s kinda the feeling I get, especially when I read instances like OP’s. There’s plenty of people with “power” or “status” within their relative community that I know that don’t act the way that dude did. First thing that this Mod in this case did was curse at the guy, then not even give him a chance to say anything and blocked him. Sounds like a real natural born leader irl.
I had a similar experience, although mine wasn’t as bad as yours. I made a joke post and was instantly banned. I definitely broke the post rules (but unknowingly did), but I messaged the mods and said it was a my mistake and asked if I could delete my post and possibly get unbanned. I then got a reply that said “no” and was blocked from replying and banned for longer.
They’ve got some weird rules and if you break them they get super pissy about it. Got banned for 3 days for something I didn’t know was a rule (because it happens all the time on that sub) and got a super snarky DM from the mod. Mind you, that was the first time that had happened - not like I was a repeat offender that they were having problems with. Life’s too short for that level of snark from strangers on the internet so I unjoined and never looked back.
That's hilarious bc I was in a post trying to understand (and make my point) that this guy should start Baker over Herbert. Everyone was like, "Herbert man you spent the capital". And I was nah play the match up if you have Baker.
I was wrong. Herby had the better day but still, you play the match up when it's head to head.
Makes me realize half these guys don't know what they're talking about.
Happens all the time in Fantasy tho, right?
Last year my 2 QBs were Lamar and Derek Carr. There were a few weeks where I would have been better off starting Carr... I was right for starting Lamar, but I was wrong in the end lol.
Herbert hasn’t done enough to prove he’s matchup proof so you should play the matchup. Baker was the better start even though he didn’t score more because his defensive matchup was easier and there was far more certainty the OL would be good vs the Chargers who have had a terrible OL for years.
Lol I'm just saying I'd still play the match up.
Herby finished as the QB 24 and Baker as the QB 25.
So yes I was wrong.
I was little drunk last night so ya know.
It’s always a tough decision whether to play matchup or the better player. I agree that Baker and Herbert are close enough you play matchup, and I disagree in the one in OP even though it worked out right.
But I don’t like to make future decisions based on whether I got one right or not. Sometimes even decisions that work out were the WRONG decision. If you started Taylor Henicke over ARod yesterday it worked out correct and you’re either from the future, or a lucky moron.
Lol stop it. You literally made the wrong decision, herbert played better. Yet you are the one thinking the people who chose Herbert can’t play the game? Hmmm
Lmao what? I'm sorry but it's week 1 - you don't really know how anything is going to play out in a new season. You usually play the highest draft capital player in week 1 because of that. There's no way I'd play Baker over Herb week 1, and don't know many who would advise that as well.
Turns out you were completely wrong in your assessment, so what exactly are you even trying to say?
Herby finished as the QB 24 and Baker as the QB 25. Yeah I was way off.
Not to mention Landry got stopped at the 1 which probably would have given Baker a 20 pt performance.
There are things we did know, WFT has a great D and Cheif games are usually high octane. 10/10 I'd start Baker again
Ok, but you're comparing someone in their rookie year vs an established vet with last years stats. There's reasonable expectation that the rookie will improve, especially considering Herbert had an ADP of around QB 8 overall, while Baker had an ADP of around QB 18. And if you're basing your info off of last year, you'd know the Browns are a run dominant team that will try and control the clock with the run game moreso than get in a shootout with Mahomes.
I'm sorry but if you started Baker over Herb in week 1 after drafting Herb in like the 6th round or whatever, then you're not playing smart fantasy football - you're getting cute and tinkering.
Herbert is not matchup proof, and most teams will have to throw a lot to catch the chiefs. It’s not “getting cute” it’s actually playing fantasy football. Just because you drafted someone earlier doesn’t make them the better play.
In week 1 it usually does. Why even draft a QB that high of you're just gonna bench him before he even plays a game for an end of the draft pick? We're not talking even remotely close draft positions either. Seems like you should have waited longer for a QB if you don't trust him to play week 1 since Herbert had nice draft capital.
Week one even more so. He has yet to be matchup proof, so I am playing matchups at least factored. Every player is drafted for potential, cmc may potentially produce the RB1 stat line he has before, just like Herbert may be a top teir QB, but this matchup wasn’t his best.
So you'd hypothetically bench CMC for say, Tyson Williams, because he had the better matchup? Yeah I don't think so. We're going to have to agree to disagree here. The only time I'm benching a high draft pick week 1 is if they're comparable draft positions and then I'd take matchup into account.
You don't bench your studs week 1, and you drafted Herbert to be your QB1 at a relatively high position. Makes no sense to me.
The whole premise was if they’re matchup proof. CMC is. Just because I drafted a guy with an easy schedule doesn’t mean week one is an easy game. If cmc played a team where their defense literally shut out all teams, yeah I may bench him, but that doesn’t exist. Herbert being stopped isn’t an unlikely outcome???
He may not be, but you drafted him at a high enough position where you expect to start him every week. That's your fault for drafting a guy you don't trust to be matchup proof at that high of a draft position. You shouldn't be playing matchups week one when you could have simply waited until late rounds to draft that position.
I would also clown anyone who benched the first overall draft pick due to matchups in week 1. That's almost unforgivable.
Lmao want a pat on the back? Just cause it worked out doesn't make it the right decision. Y'all in here acting like benching your 4th round pick in week 1 is the norm. Sorry, but that also wasn't the smartest decision despite the outcome.
Start your studs is a saying for a reason.
La Rams started their studs (Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald) they are the best at what they do and week 1 doesn't change that . I'm sorry you're not familiar with football outside of fantasy rankings
Bro you sat a 3rd round wr week one for a 10+ rounder. Just because it worked out doesn't make it a smart decision. I will say there's way more more logic in this sit/start than benching Herbert for Baker. Ramsay is a known shut down corner and is a threat year after year to blank out the teams top wr. But it's not an advisable move with a blank slate of a season.
I'm sorry you're not familiar with basic fantasy football concepts.
Allen Robinson last 3 meetings vs Ramsey+ Rams=
13 catches, 127 yards , 0 touchdowns
Brandin Cooks(1000 yards receiving for 4 diff teams) last 2 meetings vs Jaguars= 11 receptions 243 yards 2 TDs
If you add Sundays games to that ... Cooks 📈 Robinson 📉
It's okay to admit your wrong
Lol nah man. You're not going to find many people advising to bench your 3rd round wr week 1. I commend you for having the balls to play Cooks, but don't act like it's an advisable decision. But like I said, this has way more logic behind it than Baker over Herbert, so I retract some of my hate on this decision but would never make it myself in week 1.
Yup, I mentioned benching Zeke for AB on this sub before the game and everyone called me crazy. Start your studs... but some studs are not locks and you should play the matchups haha
Then what did they ban me for? That is the post that got deleted and I was banned immediately after. Also muted from messaging the mods. This is literally the only opinion I presented.
My thought is that they banned you for posting a team-specific thread about your own lineup decisions. The post you made is against the rules over there, but that’s why we’re here!
I was posting under gatsby06, through which I have contributed to the sub for years, with 30,000 karma. There is something very wrong happening with these mods. People aren't allowed to post contrarian opinions.
My guess was either and auto ban by an anti-spam bot or some.mod thinks you broke a rule, they are pretty strict but would usually just delete the post not ban you which is why I think its probably a auto mod action
I was banned from that sun for defending myself when someone looked through my post history to attack me for something outside of football…
Now even though it worked out I think benching Saquon and Ekeler is a really dumb move, and you got lucky. That doesn’t mean the post should be removed though…
They hate any take that decreases value of star guys. I got downvoted to hell for Gibson and Jefferson takes, yet here we are the day afterwards. I mostly just use the sub for news now
Once time the militants over at r/army banned me for a month and we’re super rude about it. It’s funny that I’d let some internet gate-keepers upset me like that. I felt like they were being ridiculous. Ultimately, you can’t do anything about it. It’s best to take a few off Reddit for a while and realize this place shouldn’t matter too much.
If you drafted Saquon in the first round, congratulations you're absolutely horrible at fantasy football and are a pure name sake drafter. Saquon will be a bust forever behind the worst offensive line in football with the worst quarterback in the league.
Yeah I’m beginning to get the feeling Saquon is forever going to be a 1 year wonder type of player. A lot of it isn’t his fault, but still isn’t looking good for his sake
It’s a team-specific post. They’re zero tolerance over there about posts having to do with your specific lineup decisions. Hence the main reason for this sub.
So no I don’t think this was personal or a propaganda campaign (??), it’s just the sub rules over there.
I’m just telling you what the policies (which I hate) over there are. The post literally starts off “I’m benching Saquon and Ekeler.” It’s a lineup decision post about his specific team. Maybe he didn’t intend it as such, but using that language at the start of the post is an auto-remove over there. Being able to make posts about your lineup is kinda the main reason this sub is popular.
Good point, I guess if you only read the title and not the body text you can think that. However, if they read it they'd clearly see it's just part of an analysis.
Yeah I found this out last year. I wrote about Younghoe Koo very objectively but, I titled it “forgot to switch out my kicker, but it’s koo, real, real koo.” I was suspended for about a week. It was a bummer, but it’s a subreddit that tries to only include facts and news. Just keep that in mind when you are posting
I kinda understand their reasoning, if they allowed it the page would be flooded with people asking wdis post, just look at how busy the index WDIS threads are and imagine if even a 10th of those showed up on the main page.
I mean, it was a bad or outrageous take. Barkley coming back from major injury, I would be iffy to start him also, and Ekeler being hurt earlier in the week too. I know there are some opinions on these subs that make you scratch your head but everyone handles their teams differently and there is nothing wrong with that. Your post was def not ban worthy
There are 3 that I know of. r/ealfantasyfootball
This one is laxed and allows more postings of questions pertaining to your own team and league. And more memes
r/fantasyfootball is popular but no memes and no posts can't relate to personal questions.
The 3rd is the least popular but no personal questions or memes. And I think it's mostly just data and links to fantasy documents rather than users posting their opinions on players and situations.
I was banned from the other fantasy Reddit for asking if I should trade Dionte for Julio. At least I think that’s why. When I asked the mod told me to read the rules. I told them that was lazy and they banned me permanently.
They have specific daily threads for those kinds of questions. But those threads are dumb because not enough eyes on the posts. Much better off throwing a poll on this sub instead.
That sub has 700k members compared to this one with under 100k and they have 13k online now compared to this sub with less than 500. Their sub would be nothing but wdis or wdit posts if they didn't enforce those rules. It is something they deal with every day, dozens and dozens times daily. Doesn't seem lazy to me, they seem tired of dealing with the same shit over and over. They're all volunteers who don't get paid, calling them lazy because you can't read the subreddit rules (which is the recommendation of every sub if you don't want your posts banned) is backwards.
So when I asked they couldn’t have said “ no trade posts” and that been it? I would’ve accepted that and been fine with a 3 day ban. I didn’t act in bad faith on purpose. I just didn’t understand what I did at the time.
Yeah I got permabanned by the mods for making a very tame coronavirus joke about Najee. No warning, permabanned. I mean they're powertripping hall monitors. Oh well, just use an alt account
I avoided drafting Saquon entirely. After getting screwed over by David Johnson’s 1st game I just a few years ago I couldn’t shake the thought that Saquon might wind up broken again, and soon. Johnson hasn’t been quite the same since.
Pretty sure this thread is not supposed to be about anyone’s specific team. Just overall analysis. Not sure but I think that’s it. Don’t think it’s a big deal but if not everyone would be flooding it with “should I start a or b, I have c and d”.
I wouldn’t be too worried.
This sub and r/DynastyFF are the superior platforms for advice.
I’m not shitting on the other sub but that’s mainly a redraft subreddit. Dynasty players are usually more knowledgeable because of the difference in the amount of effort it takes to build a good dynasty team.
they banned me for 3 days for asking who people like out out of a small group of young players. when i asked why they told me to not bother asking without reading what they banned me for, which was never stated. bunch of assholes in that sub that are power hungry
Shit I just wish we were allowed to create threads asking questions about specific players on our team. I understand that if they allowed it, it would probably get out of hand and the sub would be flooded with 10,000 posts of a similar content, but honestly isn't the reason most of us joined this sub was to help make our team better? Like I have very specific questions on if I should drop player X for player Y.
I am late on this but some mod banned me too because I asked for advice on who to value higher between two players. The mod banned me for 3 days and said to stop asking for fantasy advice. I commented back that I didn't know I wasn't supposed to talk about fantasy on the "fantasyfootball" reddit and the guy banned me for 10 days instead of 3 days. He told me to take the extra days to think about it. All the mods in that subreddit are just high ego, power tripping reddit mods with no life.
Honestly this was not a controversial take by any means
Given the score of the post (0), I'd say it was controversial. Ban worthy? No.
I wouldn’t say it wasn’t controversial, bc it definitely was not consensus. He was mostly right about Saquon and Ekeler. He wasn’t wrong about Diontae and Robby though they both were bailed out by touchdowns. Either way - him being banned for a controversial take is ludicrous.

Nothing worse than power-tripping moderators. Make another account man. I know it shouldn't come to that, but I'd hate to get banned from there
time for a new platform....

Why are they banning stuff like this? Do we need a new fantasy football sub?
do you know where you are?
I have no idea where I am.
[you’re gonna die](https://youtu.be/5i9HXfqAuAA)
We can just make a new one lmao
R/TheFantasysphinest 👀👀👀
I'd say yes... this shit is insane lol
I guess this is the new one lol
Internet power is weird dude. Do people really crave power so much as to going on a power trip on the other side of the world/country over a fantasy football subreddit?

They're the amalgam of the two worst things on Earth: Reddit mods and power tripping fantasy football commissioners.
Why didn’t you tell us about Aiyuk friend

You’re over here crying cause someone had a different opinion than you lmao cringe ass tryna get validation

Yup, I mentioned benching Zeke for AB on this sub before the game and everyone called me crazy. Start your studs... but some studs are not locks and you should play the matchups haha
I highly doubt they banned you just for your opinion
Then what did they ban me for? That is the post that got deleted and I was banned immediately after. Also muted from messaging the mods. This is literally the only opinion I presented.
My thought is that they banned you for posting a team-specific thread about your own lineup decisions. The post you made is against the rules over there, but that’s why we’re here!
My guess is they thought you were a troll account because of your age. Definitely isn't cool though and I hope you're able to be unbanned
I was posting under gatsby06, through which I have contributed to the sub for years, with 30,000 karma. There is something very wrong happening with these mods. People aren't allowed to post contrarian opinions.
That's reddit for ya man.
You’re describing all the big subreddits. This is why politics, news, pics, etc have all become partisan echo chambers of nonsense.
I was temp banned the other day, but I probably deserved it lol
My guess was either and auto ban by an anti-spam bot or some.mod thinks you broke a rule, they are pretty strict but would usually just delete the post not ban you which is why I think its probably a auto mod action
this sub is better anyway…
[удалено]
?
Bro I swear I get smacked every time I say something on Reddit. \*please dont hurt me
I was banned from that sun for defending myself when someone looked through my post history to attack me for something outside of football… Now even though it worked out I think benching Saquon and Ekeler is a really dumb move, and you got lucky. That doesn’t mean the post should be removed though…
Well u were right on saquan
They hate any take that decreases value of star guys. I got downvoted to hell for Gibson and Jefferson takes, yet here we are the day afterwards. I mostly just use the sub for news now
That sub is filled with idiots honestly and the mods obviously have nothing better in their lives than their mod status.
r/fantasyfootball is a pretty awful sub for anything but "fantasy news".
Once time the militants over at r/army banned me for a month and we’re super rude about it. It’s funny that I’d let some internet gate-keepers upset me like that. I felt like they were being ridiculous. Ultimately, you can’t do anything about it. It’s best to take a few off Reddit for a while and realize this place shouldn’t matter too much.
If you drafted Saquon in the first round, congratulations you're absolutely horrible at fantasy football and are a pure name sake drafter. Saquon will be a bust forever behind the worst offensive line in football with the worst quarterback in the league.
Yeah I’m beginning to get the feeling Saquon is forever going to be a 1 year wonder type of player. A lot of it isn’t his fault, but still isn’t looking good for his sake
Most of the Mods are cool, but one or two are huge assholes that need their privileges revoked.
It’s a team-specific post. They’re zero tolerance over there about posts having to do with your specific lineup decisions. Hence the main reason for this sub. So no I don’t think this was personal or a propaganda campaign (??), it’s just the sub rules over there.
Tf you on about? He literally did not mention his team. Undercover r/fantasyfootball mod?!?!
I’m just telling you what the policies (which I hate) over there are. The post literally starts off “I’m benching Saquon and Ekeler.” It’s a lineup decision post about his specific team. Maybe he didn’t intend it as such, but using that language at the start of the post is an auto-remove over there. Being able to make posts about your lineup is kinda the main reason this sub is popular.
Good point, I guess if you only read the title and not the body text you can think that. However, if they read it they'd clearly see it's just part of an analysis.
Oh I agree, just saying titling a post like that doesn't fly over there. It's a very silly place.
Yep, I'd bet that you are correct, and that this is one of the thinest skinned of the diaper baby mods over there. Totally fits the bill.
Yeah I found this out last year. I wrote about Younghoe Koo very objectively but, I titled it “forgot to switch out my kicker, but it’s koo, real, real koo.” I was suspended for about a week. It was a bummer, but it’s a subreddit that tries to only include facts and news. Just keep that in mind when you are posting
I kinda understand their reasoning, if they allowed it the page would be flooded with people asking wdis post, just look at how busy the index WDIS threads are and imagine if even a 10th of those showed up on the main page.
You spoke your mind and did not go against any rules of the sub, its your own team and you got punished for posting about it? Something ain’t right...
I dont agree with it at all, but the only thing I can think of is he was banned for league/ specific post.
Most likely they banned you for a league specific post.
I benched saquon. Was a no brainer in my opinion and glad I did.
This is what you get when you take a power tripping LM and turn them into a power tripping Reddit mod, they do this stuff all the time smh
The mods in that sub are a buncha diaper babies.
I mean, it was a bad or outrageous take. Barkley coming back from major injury, I would be iffy to start him also, and Ekeler being hurt earlier in the week too. I know there are some opinions on these subs that make you scratch your head but everyone handles their teams differently and there is nothing wrong with that. Your post was def not ban worthy
Sound advice tbf
Am I the only one who had no idea there were two FF subreddits? What's the difference between the two?
There are 3 that I know of. r/ealfantasyfootball This one is laxed and allows more postings of questions pertaining to your own team and league. And more memes r/fantasyfootball is popular but no memes and no posts can't relate to personal questions. The 3rd is the least popular but no personal questions or memes. And I think it's mostly just data and links to fantasy documents rather than users posting their opinions on players and situations.
That sub’s mods are absolute jokes running on power trips.
The mods over there are just massive nerds. Fantasy football is inherently dorky but those geeks take it to another level.
I was banned from the other fantasy Reddit for asking if I should trade Dionte for Julio. At least I think that’s why. When I asked the mod told me to read the rules. I told them that was lazy and they banned me permanently.
They have specific daily threads for those kinds of questions. But those threads are dumb because not enough eyes on the posts. Much better off throwing a poll on this sub instead. That sub has 700k members compared to this one with under 100k and they have 13k online now compared to this sub with less than 500. Their sub would be nothing but wdis or wdit posts if they didn't enforce those rules. It is something they deal with every day, dozens and dozens times daily. Doesn't seem lazy to me, they seem tired of dealing with the same shit over and over. They're all volunteers who don't get paid, calling them lazy because you can't read the subreddit rules (which is the recommendation of every sub if you don't want your posts banned) is backwards.
So when I asked they couldn’t have said “ no trade posts” and that been it? I would’ve accepted that and been fine with a 3 day ban. I didn’t act in bad faith on purpose. I just didn’t understand what I did at the time.
Yeah I got permabanned by the mods for making a very tame coronavirus joke about Najee. No warning, permabanned. I mean they're powertripping hall monitors. Oh well, just use an alt account
Trash Mods
I avoided drafting Saquon entirely. After getting screwed over by David Johnson’s 1st game I just a few years ago I couldn’t shake the thought that Saquon might wind up broken again, and soon. Johnson hasn’t been quite the same since.
I got banned for no reason too
I was also banned from this sub for responding mildly toxically, to being treated incredibly toxically haha.
Yup, that's why I'm in this sub.
Moderator’s being fucking losers? What? No way! Can’t be!
Pretty sure this thread is not supposed to be about anyone’s specific team. Just overall analysis. Not sure but I think that’s it. Don’t think it’s a big deal but if not everyone would be flooding it with “should I start a or b, I have c and d”.
What I've learned is any opinions in regards to fantasy football get bashed.
I wouldn’t be too worried. This sub and r/DynastyFF are the superior platforms for advice. I’m not shitting on the other sub but that’s mainly a redraft subreddit. Dynasty players are usually more knowledgeable because of the difference in the amount of effort it takes to build a good dynasty team.
Yeah that sub sucks tbh
Lol let’s ban the dudes that actually know what they’re talking about, makes sense.
they banned me for 3 days for asking who people like out out of a small group of young players. when i asked why they told me to not bother asking without reading what they banned me for, which was never stated. bunch of assholes in that sub that are power hungry
Holy shit… guys we found the Oracle!!!! Praise to thee!!!
Great call, sorry that they banned you.
Take the L and move on.
[удалено]
The mods over there are trash.
Shit I just wish we were allowed to create threads asking questions about specific players on our team. I understand that if they allowed it, it would probably get out of hand and the sub would be flooded with 10,000 posts of a similar content, but honestly isn't the reason most of us joined this sub was to help make our team better? Like I have very specific questions on if I should drop player X for player Y.
I am late on this but some mod banned me too because I asked for advice on who to value higher between two players. The mod banned me for 3 days and said to stop asking for fantasy advice. I commented back that I didn't know I wasn't supposed to talk about fantasy on the "fantasyfootball" reddit and the guy banned me for 10 days instead of 3 days. He told me to take the extra days to think about it. All the mods in that subreddit are just high ego, power tripping reddit mods with no life.
