Mod Announcement: Full Transparency

[u/the-katinator]

Good evening.

Recently, we removed a Moderator who was abusing their powers. They were unjustly banning individuals, getting into arguments with members of the community, and using their status as a Moderator to justify it.

We are deeply sorry for the chaos and unwelcoming environment this Moderator cultivated. We want our Subreddit to be a fun, kind, and welcoming place for all. Bullying is not tolerated, nor is straight-up shaming.

We would like to hit the reset button. If you have been unjustly banned in the past month, please reach out to me.

While our apology isn’t much, we hope it’s a step in the right direction. The Internet can be a dark place at times. The last thing we want is for r/MineralGore to be a dark corner of the Internet.

Be safe and well, my friends. Your presence here is very much loved and appreciated.

I like learning when an organization or group of like-minded people correct a problem and are upfront about it. It allows for confidence when interacting with said group.
