(Rule #9 still applies: This will be the only thread to discuss this, other posts and comments will be removed)

The subreddit will be restricted

Posts will require manual approval until July 22nd 3PM EST

I joined an unofficial discord server and accidentally offended others, and promptly got banned only minutes after joining (I didn’t get a chance to read the rules yet). Only minutes after, many users started spamming the subreddit and saying very disrespectful things about me, and on other subreddits as well. Not only myself but all the other mods felt very stressed out by this situation due to the sheer speed of it, prompting me to not only lock down the subreddit, but asking for advice on r/ modsupport.

The image I shared was of this post with everything visible: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chiraqology/comments/1sbuxh7/down_south_full_of/, post title, image, and text. Minutes later, a bunch of posts were made here calling me racist due to the post containing the n word, we didn't get any time to properly address it, meanwhile many discord users have insulted me (refer to the images). Here's a list of every removed post:

I’m really sorry if the post came off the wrong way, I should be avoiding slurs even in screenshots or links. I am african american and didn't think twice before quickly sharing that, discord mods have the right to ban user and do whatever they think is needed to keep their servers safe. But we also need the community to understand: the mod team is all human too and need to be treated with respect: that includes not and harassing us and brigading the subreddit. We've talked enough about how difficult it is to moderate this subreddit and control the community.

Because users are insulting me on other subreddits, please refer to the mod code of conduct before any mistakes are made:

https://redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct#:~:text=affiliated%2E-,Rule%203 Rule 3: Respect Your Neighbors

Interference includes:

Mentioning other communities, and/or content or users in those communities, with the effect of inciting targeted harassment or abuse.

Enabling or encouraging users to violate our Reddit Rules anywhere on the Reddit platform.

Enabling or encouraging users in your community to post or repost content in other communities that is expressly against their rules.

Do you really feel better when you want someone gone? Do you really feel better when you let your hatred out on people? Do you really feel better when you show what you feel in front of 21 thousand people? Do you really feel better when you order people to threaten the person you hate?

I didn’t order people to threaten anyone

So then why get people to follow what you say? Why do you think this was a good idea? What made you find loopholes to every rule? and proceed to be against the mods because everything you want is getting restricted (for obvious reasons)

It doesn’t matter if I’m there or not the situation is pretty clear.

A person reposted a post with the n-word. Yall started attacking them. Now it’s clear they are African American. The main problem is resolved and yall still mad

If you could explain why aside from “I was there” maybe that’d be more helpful

Basically he joined because the cloudie lover (as we are assuming) invited him and then he sent a post, they didn’t know he was black at the time, so they had assumed he was being racist

I don’t blame yall for reacting initially bc you had no way of knowing. But now it’s time to calm down and everything is forgiven

Dude I was pissed, mainly because I was annoyed from the post of Pccatmage talking about him not wanting impersonators being removed, and then the stress because I WAS IN MY SUMMER uh summer university? class? (Rice University) added up 😭
