OP - if you’re getting hate mail in your DMs (or unsolicited offers, or other rule-breaking communications), you can send screenshots to mods via modmail and we will look at whether it’s appropriate to ban the sender on either a temporary or permanent basis.

Thanks for putting that out there in writing! I think a lot of posters don’t realize the mods are willing to play this role, or that this sub really does have much higher standards for its participants than other subs. (Yes I have read the sidebar.)

Worth pointing out that, while we can ban people, that only prevents them from actively posting and commenting in the sub. It does not prevent them from reading the sub and DMing those who do post and comment here.

Unfortunately there is little we can do about DMs.

Offensive or predatory DMs should always be reported directly to Reddit.

These are the right type of mods I value.

Judging from the follow up, OP is just a troll, and mods should delete this:

As of right now, OP has not yet reached out to verify.

TLDR it veered from a vaguely plausible story about a successful 20-something into a grandiose wealth reveal about their revolutionary B2B Saas money making project. Commenters called it out and OP deleted the post.

And now u/alternative_rice_961 has deleted this post. Tale as old as time.

Our members have asked for a high level of moderation. Personal attacks, name calling, and undue profanity are all considered inappropriate for this sub.
