r/WritingPromptsWhy was I banned?

I understand why my prompt was deleted, but why was I banned?

[–]subreddit message via /r/WritingPrompts[M] sent 2 months ago

I understand why my prompt was deleted

The prompt that you reposted multiple times, then were banned for reposting it multiple times despite removals. That prompt. The one you immediately reposted after being unbanned.

No, the one you're thinking of was the one were the princess and the dragon were eloping. I admit, similar themes, but not the exact same. I'm afraid I must respectfully protest this ban.

Even the slightest similarities are still similarities. You were banned, because you broke rules. Have a nice day

I think you're being overly sensitive here, and dealing out heavy handed punishments. If you had warned me, I would have deleted the prompt myself. Is there another mod I could speak to?

I'm another mod.

You went out of your way to earn this ban, which is permanent.

This concludes our business. Good bye.

r/WritingPromptsStatus of unbanning request?
expand allcollapse all

[–]to /r/WritingPrompts sent 2 months ago

I apologize if I seem to be pushy and impatient, and I do understand that you, the mods, can be busy at times, either with moderating the subReddit or with real life, but it's been a week since I requested to be unbanned, and I've yet to receive a response. Is the review still pending, or have you actually responded and I just accidentally overlooked it?

r/WritingPromptsRequest for unbanning.

[–]to /r/WritingPrompts sent 2 months ago

I was banned some time ago for repeated violation of the rules and arguing with the mod who issued the ban. I apologize for my actions and stubbornness at the time, and will promise to pay better attention to the rules and treat you, and my fellow members, with more respect in the future.?

That might have been slightly more believable without the question mark.

That was a typo, actually. I was originally gonna have "Will you please unban me?" at the end, but I thought it might have been a little pushy or rude. Sorry.

AutoModeratorPlease remember to use link flair in /r/SimplePrompts!

[–]from AutoModerator sent 3 months ago

Hi, /u/Moon_Dew!

Thank you for your submission to /r/SimplePrompts! Our subreddit uses link flair to help categorize posts. It's really easy to give your own post link flair: after you post, you'll see an option 'flair' at the bottom of your post's header section. Example. Click that, select the appropriate flair and click save. That's it!

Note: some link flairs are assigned automatically. Feel free to change a link flair, if the proper one is not assigned.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

r/WritingPromptsFormal apology for my actions the previous day.
expand allcollapse all

[–]to /r/WritingPrompts sent 3 months ago

I'm sorry for my disregard of the rules and my disrespect of the mod who informed me of my ban. I was angry at my post being deleted because I erroneously thought it was within the rules and, due to frustration and a slight stubborn streak on my part, I chose to simply repost the prompt instead of referring to you, the mods, on how I should if proceeded, or even if I should have proceeded. Now that I've had a day to cool off, I realize how immature I was in my actions.

I formally request to be un-banned, and I promise to pay more attention to the rules, and not to disrespect the mods.

I'll respect your decision either way.

Thank you for your time.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME!?!? WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH MY PROMPT!?!?

The first time I posted it, you deleted it due to something about "explicitly sexual responses, hate speech, or other harmful content", even when there were none there. The second time, you said it was because I was playing writing games or comissioning stories, even though I was doing neither one. Now, the third time, where I actually thought I managed to re-word the prompt so that it would be within the rules of the sub-reddit, YOU FREAKING BAN ME WITH BARELY AN EXPLANATION!!!

I know I'm yelling, but I'm quite upset and I honestly can't help but feel like you're picking on me for some reason. I just want an explanation as to what was wrong with my prompt. Also, I'd like to know how long this ban will last.

[–]subreddit message via /r/WritingPrompts[M] sent 3 months ago

On the removal message it says "Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns."

You were also told that by the mod directly, but you ignored it and just kept posting, trying to get round the removal.

By the third time we have to remove something and no contact by the user, we don't have any option but to ban, as you seem to have no intention of listening to us or stopping.

Okay, you're right, I should have listened. I blame a combination of stubbornness and frustration on my part. I'm sorry.

Shockingly, we have more important things to do than to reply right away to the messages of someone who is rude to us.

You were banned for breaking rules and ignoring us. If you'd come to modmail and shown that you intended to follow the rules and that you understood what you needed to do to be unbanned, then we might have, but you have been rude and whiny and shown none of that. Looking back, you were rude and whiny last time you were in modmail too.

I doubt you've bothered to read the rules either then or now or that you'll follow them if we unban you and I am absolutely sure that if we did and you had a problem, that you'd be just as childish as you have been this time.

I think i'll save us all the trouble and leave you banned.
