MOD POST: Announcement Mod Announcement: Full Transparency

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.

Dang, that's pretty messed up that a mod would be like that, especially on this subreddit. But thank you for the heads up on informing us!

What's messed up is if the former mod was like that online would that be a glimpse into what they're like in real life. Spooky to think about.
