A month ago, I acquired my first serious subreddit through redditrequest, the subreddit centering around a specific gacha game character, both in terms of game mechanics and fan artwork. It is a low to medium activity subreddit, and I have not had any reports until today, so I was not in a rush to overhaul any of the reasonable existing rules. When I opened Reddit for the day, I found an A.I.-generated image with a slapfight in the comments. Notably, there was a user who is an ardent pro-A.I. moderator in a different subreddit. Not only did he label other users as "cruel" just for not agreeing with him, but I suspect he reported "1: It's targeted harassment at me" when other users commented screenshots of him banning them from his subreddit for criticizing generative A.I.

I strongly dislike A.I. (not just because a data center threatens the water supply of my favorite nature park where bald eagles nest) and agreed with the majority of my community base. Now, like many casual Reddit users, I have been on the receiving end of petty power trips from arbitrary moderators. So I decided rather than permanently, I would b*n him for 1 year on the basis of rule 1: "Respect the Community". Then I added a new rule against A.I. imagery and made an announcement post thanking the community for alerting me to the problem.

Later in the day, I received a DM to the sub asserting "It's against the moderator code of conduct to b*n a person before making up a rule. I am appalled by this and I have opened up a case with the admins. You did literally everything you possibly could have done wrong." Is this a serious accusation? Do I have to go proactively defend my case to the admins?

Hello, I have been told this subreddit can provide brusque but on-point advice from experienced moderators. So, am I a jerk? Or am I within my moral bounds to handle jerks? [both desktop and mobile]

My family and I live in a condo on the southeast side. Last week, I received a letter in the mail from the city HAND department saying I needed to schedule an inspection as required for all rental property, but I do not nor have I ever rented out my property. And the odd thing is that my name is on the letter, but the "Dear [name]" part has my complex's HOA manager name listed. Did I completely forget about signing something when I bought the condo, or is this a mistake by the city which I need to correct?
