I just ask for help or I post a piece of art I made and there’s just mod or member on my ass. I get there needs to be rules, in something r/art it makes sense, but i made a genuine formatting mistake and was immediately banned, and on top of that the mod was just outride rude. It was like they genuinely thought they were The Louvre. I just want mutual respect in a conversation, but when theres 2 screens and miles between you, people just suck sometimes. Ive had similar experiences but the r/art one just pushed me enough to complain about it.
The problem is that moderating forums is the kind of thing that anyone who wants the job is unqualified for it. These people live off their power (even though it’s an inconsequential corner of the internet). You know that they have no power in real life.
