How do I report an abusive modmail?

[u/AdjacentBirdman93]

I’ve been getting a 7 day mute every 7 days for 2 months now. It’s clearly done in an attempt to harass and bother me.

How do I stop this ? I can’t message and ask them to stop.

[u/SlowedCash]

That is not against the rules to mute you every 7 days. You can report it, however if the mod is doing that every week, that pretty fucking sad 😂 sorry if you are having to put up with that

EDIT. Appears OP is victim to a modmail BOT spamming these mutes every week

[u/maiyannah → u/SlowedCash]

Targetted harassment is against Reddit Site Rules.

[u/SlowedCash → u/maiyannah]

Yes it is.

[u/AdjacentBirdman93 → u/SlowedCash]

Yeah it’s clearly intended to harass and annoy me. It’s not debilitating lol it’s just annoying as all get out.

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/AdjacentBirdman93]

Do you reply to the mute every time you're unmuted?

[u/AdjacentBirdman93 → u/ALazy_Cat]

No they resend the mute message every 7 days like clockwork and that leaves me unable to reply and ask them to stop it

[u/SlowedCash → u/AdjacentBirdman93]

Then it might be a BOT. You'd be surprised what's Reddit bots are on devvit

It will be in that subs mod list. Please share what BOTs the sub has if you can

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/SlowedCash]

Yup, it's a bot, and a harassment bot. If you're going to do this type of harassment, at least go for 28 days

[u/SlowedCash → u/ALazy_Cat]

Interesting. Have you located the subreddit in question. I may see if I can find it. Thats bad it it's a harassment bot

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/SlowedCash]

I have no idea which sub or which bot, but if it mutes every 7 days, it's a harassment bot

[u/AdjacentBirdman93 → u/ALazy_Cat]

Naming the sub is against the rules so unless a moderator here says I can, I am unable to post the name.

It’s a large subreddit.

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/AdjacentBirdman93]

You should be able to mention the bots as they're available to use for everyone without knowing the sub

[u/Pedantichrist → u/AdjacentBirdman93]

Why are folk downvoting this?

[u/SlowedCash → u/Pedantichrist]

The OP?

Because that's what happens. Members will downarrow the OP because it's rude not too 😂 even though they have done nothing wrong.

I did on this occasion... Up arrow you OP 😄☺️

Before Reddit introduced the permanent mute, there was a Devvit app that would basically re-mute automatically once the old one expired. I forget the name but it was part of a larger app, it wasn't the sole purpose of the app.

Now that there is a permanent mute option, that app is basically obsolete and the mods should probably get rid of it, but they likely have no idea since you keep being muted and the message likely automatically archived as well.

You can report the chat message for harassment or fill out a ModCOC complaint.

[u/AdjacentBirdman93 → u/BBModSquadCar]

I will do exactly this! Thanks for the info.

Also report it here:

https://old.reddit.com/report

Under This is abusive or harassing > It's targeted harassment > At me. Include a link to the modmail message and explain in the Additional Information box that it's happening every seven days and you believe it's specifically to harass you.

[u/itskdog → u/zuuzuu]

Unless they've used Old Reddit in the last 6 months, they won't be able to use that link.

[u/zuuzuu → u/itskdog]

Shit, has that started already?

[u/itskdog → u/zuuzuu]

I assumed it was "as of this post"

[u/aengusoglugh]

This seems obnoxious — but it’s best just to move on.

Are you still a member if the subreddit?

If so, leave it.

Whether or not it’s intentional does not make a whole lot of difference — the moderators pretty clearly don’t want to hear from you — or they are monumentally incompetent.

You probably don’t want to be a member of the subreddit in either case.

Find a subreddit where you are happy.

It’s only Reddit.

[u/iammiroslavglavic]

we can mute you for up to 28 days. I think a new one is forever.

Not saying I am that moderator. However, it seems that the moderators don't want you in their sub. Just leave the sub and go to the thousands others.

I honestly have no idea if the muting will stop after you leave.

[u/AdjacentBirdman93 → u/iammiroslavglavic]

It hasn’t stopped. It’s harassment at this point

[u/iammiroslavglavic → u/AdjacentBirdman93]

You can report as user almost everything

[u/AskModerators-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Not a mod. We require answers to be from experienced mods.

[u/SlowedCash → u/[deleted]]

Reddit normally is very serious when power abuse is involved.

No they aren't lol 🤣🤣 and dm'ing you? Literally that's shady

[u/That_one_Man123 → u/SlowedCash]

Why is it shady? Not everyone is a goddamn scammer. I was just trying to help, but I guess the mods don't want me here, so I'm out 🤷🏻‍♂️
