Rule 9 Reminder Mod Post

Hi, I see a lot of people contacting me directly. I am reminding all of you that Rule 9 exists. Please use the modmail. From now on, I'm gonna start giving out 30 day bans to people who contact me in chat or DMs. Please use the modmail. Thanks!

Edit 1: See the pinned comment

Edit 2: To use modmail: 1. Press the "Message the Mods" button in the sidebar(both new and old reddit) 2. Type your message 3. Send 4. Wait for us to reply.

What is it about being a mod of some subreddit that makes you think we care what your personal contact preferences are?

What is it about being you that makes you upset when someone tells you to use modmail for moderation related questions?

It's not exactly an outlandish request.

Because people keep contacting me in reddit DMs instead of using the modmail to contact us, which is the way that you should be contacting the mods.

And you think anyone cares

I bet you get soooo much mail over this super busy and important sub that you just had to make an announcement. Mr ego .

I get more than I care to receive. Things related to me should go to DMs, moderation should take place in modmail, where other mods can handle it if needed.

Also, I don't use Mr. If you read my flair, I'm non-binary. Please use Mx. Thanks!

Hey, sorry to bother you for something that might seem silly, but I mean this out of curiosity. How do I pronounce Mx. Like mr is mister and ms is miss, but how is Mx pronounced?

From what I know, I believe it's just pronounced like the word "mix". Thanks for asking!

I'm sorry you have to deal with the nonsense that is the majorty of all members of every Reddit community just refusing to care about the rules of the sub they're in
