🚨 Major Community Reset – r/DubaiCrypto

For too long this sub has been overrun with flash USDT offers, dirty crypto deals, F2F solicitations, random promos, and pure spam.

It's time to put an end to this.

Starting today, we are resetting the standard for r/DubaiCrypto

What is no longer allowed:

  • Any form of buying, selling, or facilitating crypto deals (including flash/dirty USDT)
  • F2F / cash deals
  • Telegram/Discord promotions or “DM me” solicitations
  • Low effort spam and pure shilling

What we want instead:

This community is for real discussion around Crypto, Web3, Blockchain, and the UAE Crypto ecosystem.

We welcome and encourage:

  • Market discussion and analysis
  • UAE regulation & VARA updates
  • Banking and on/off-ramp experiences
  • Web3 projects, builders, and blockchain technology
  • Educational content and genuine questions
  • Warnings about scams (including flash crypto risks)
  • Real meetups, making friends, and real life networking for Crypto enthusiasts in the UAE.

Important warning:

If you are simply looking to buy or sell crypto in this subreddit, you will almost certainly get scammed. This is not a marketplace.

For actual P2P trades, only use licensed and regulated platforms that offer proper escrow and protection.

Discussion is encouraged. Facilitation of deals is not.

We’ve installed strong filters and AutoModerator to enforce this and we're actively trying to make it better, if you feel like your post / comment was unfairly deleted by our Automods please DM me. Existing spam is being cleaned out. Accounts that continue posting "deal" related content will be banned.

This sub has real potential. With thousands of weekly visitors, it can become one of the better places in the region to talk about Crypto and Web3 but only if we protect the quality and the community.

If you’re here for real conversation, learning, or connecting with like minded people, you’re in the right place.

If you’re here to spam deals and scam, you’re not.

Looking for help:
If you believe you could be of help as a moderator (active, fair, and committed to keeping the sub clean) please feel free to DM me.

Sole listed moderator has limited permissions, and deleted former moderator is missing from the reorder list

Device : Desktop

Hello,

I’m reporting a moderator permissions issue affecting a sub I'm moderating

The previous top moderator granted me moderator access, but their Reddit account was later deleted. I am now the only active moderator of the community, and the deleted account does not appear in the subreddit’s current moderator list or in the Self-Serve Mod Reorder tool.

However, my account still has limited moderator permissions. I do not have the “Everything” permission, which prevents me from fully managing the community and using important moderation functions, including configuring moderation settings, managing filters, and handling the moderator team.

I submitted a Top Mod Removal request through r/redditrequest and received the automated instructions to use the Self-Serve Mod Reorder tool. The problem is that the deleted account is not visible there, so there is no account above me that I can select or reorder. Since I am also a limited moderator, I cannot grant myself the “Everything” permission or change my own moderator status.

This appears to leave the subreddit in an inconsistent state:

  • I am the only moderator currently shown.
  • The former top moderator’s account has been deleted.
  • The deleted account is not available in the moderator reorder list.
  • My account still has limited permissions.
  • I cannot promote myself or correct the moderator permissions.

The community has more than 3,000 weekly visitors. It is currently receiving scam related and irrelevant posts, and my limited permissions prevent me from properly configuring filters and moderating the community.

Vin: KNAE55LC2K6064225

Registration valid till: April 2027

Upgrades:

- Carbon Fiber Exhaust tips
- Carbon Fiber Diffuser

- Starlights

( Will sell with the number plate, and willing to go with you to transfer ownership / plate at RTA as well )

What comes Stock: (Standard with GT2, highest spec Stinger from factory)

- 3.3L Twin Turbo v6
- 8-Speed automatic transmission
- Heads Up display
- Harman Kardon Speakers
- Cooling / Heating ventilated seats
- 5 Drive modes (Eco,Comfort,Sports,Smart,Custom)
- Sunroof
- Brembo Brakes

It could get too long and boring if I just put all of its factory specs here, moving forward.

Some things to note (mainly cosmetic):

- There are a few minor scuffs on the rear fender (visible in picture 1). These happened when I accidentally tapped a flower pot while reversing.

- The AC needs a top up of refrigerant / some gas. During this extreme summer heat, you may need to turn it up a couple of clicks higher than usual.

- The top of the steering wheel has faded slightly from the heat and could use a light polish/refresh. Same with the infotainment screen has some bubbles in it.

- The protective lamination on the diffuser has peeled off in places, but the carbon fiber underneath is fully intact. It just needs a new protective film. You can see this clearly in pictures 6,7 (lol)

- The letter “S” from the Stinger badge went flying (I had got it from Amazon btw)

Recent work done (last few weeks): New Brake pads (front and rear) , brake discs polished, headlights polished, rims polished.

Besides that the car sounds and drives absolutely incredible. The upgrades alone cost around 25k AED and were fitted with only the highest quality of parts, making it stand out from every other Stinger you’ll see on the road. It has never been filled with anything less than Super Fuel in it, and in all the time I’ve owned it, I’ve never faced a single mechanical issue. It’s been extremely reliable to me. Since it’s a sportsback it has some really good trunk space too, fits all your monthly grocery runs.

A little background on the car and its owners story:

I bought my baby at around 51,000 km from its first owner when I had turned 20 It was my first car, and more importantly my dream car. That makes this decision a lot harder than just selling a vehicle.

At the time, I had recently dropped out of Grade 9 and had no clear direction. One random day I just randomly spotted a Stinger on the road for the first time ever and thought, “Woah… is that a BMW?” I went home, did my research, and discovered it was actually a Kia but made by BMW execs without it being priced as a BMW, it looked just so unique to me and stood out to me than any other car, and so I decided that I’m going to own this car one day. Fast forward two years, after a complete career shift I had finally got it, now I’m some teenager with a fancy sports car that I had bought with my own hard earned money, right after getting my driver’s license (tried for 6 months) I was finally able to turn that dream into reality and I’ll be forever grateful. This has been one of my biggest accomplishments to date.

I just turned 24 a month ago, and I feel it’s time to move on to the next chapter. As an active pet rescuer, I need something more practical an SUV that can better support the work I do. So I’m looking to pass this car on to someone who truly appreciates it for what it is, someone who loves cars and understands that a fancy badge doesn’t determine how special a car can be.

Note : Some pictures are AI enhanced but nothing changed from the car itself strictly prompted, just its surroundings to make the overall pictures a bit more aesthetic. You’re very welcome to actually come and check it out.

You can reach out to my DMS or my phone number - +971504972137

Price: 55,000 AED. Can negotiate with a real buyer, i have a good room for negotiation if you’re seriously interested.

Me and my Buddy drove across countries to bring a Dog home. [OC]

Marcus, our 2-year-old Cane Corso, a majestic Italian Mastiff is so much more than a dog. He is family.
A true gentle giant, he melts with affection around people, yet carries a natural, watchful protectiveness that makes you feel instantly safe. Even with the strict breed restrictions across the Middle East, we refused to accept that Marcus couldn’t be with us.

What began as a crazy idea between friends became a journey of pure love and unbreakable determination.
After six months of relentless planning, endless paperwork, and mountains of permits, we turned the impossible into reality.

Marcus started his journey in the UK, where he completed his foundation training to become a Psychiatric Service Dog, trained to support those battling anxiety, PTSD, epilepsy, and depression. From there, he flew to Jordan for an intensive advanced program with the Jordanian K9 Academy. He passed with flying colors and earned his official title, he finally became eligible.
Then the real adventure began.

My buddy and I set off on a crazy road trip from the UAE through Saudi Arabia to Jordan to bring him home.
We drove for days without cruise control, sleeping in freezing desert nights at 0°C, pushing through exhaustion and uncertainty while low on funds but that didn’t stop our mission.

Along the way in Jordan from the Jordan Valleys, Marcus became a local celebrity. People recognized him everywhere. Strangers ran up for photos, hearts wide open. At one unforgettable moment, even a secretary to a Jordanian princess came to meet him and wished us success on our journey. But the hardest test was still ahead.

On the way back, we were rejected at the Saudi border. Left stranded in no man’s land with almost no water and limited dog food, many told us to abandon Marcus and go home alone.

We refused.
We turned around, went back to Jordan, fixed every single issue, and tried again. This time, the borders opened.

The final leg was brutal, another five days, two more freezing desert nights, and a total journey exceeding 6,200 km. We started in a humble 2003 Toyota Camry… and somehow made it home with our boy.

When we finally crossed back home with Marcus, it didn’t feel real. We were physically and emotionally drained battling PTSD episodes from everything we’d endured. But we had done it.

Today, Marcus proudly walks beside us as a fully certified service dog, loving, protecting and healing his family every single day.

This is a story of relentless love, unshakable patience, and the beautiful truth that no obstacle is too great when family is on the line.

Marcus isn’t just a dog.
He is family ❤️
