How to deal with tyrannical mods
How do we prevent these overzealous mods from ruining reddit? See exchange in photos. Basically ICL mod tells me I am violating rule (either I am a bot, spam or self promoting). I then call them on it and they block me for three days. What is fascinating is all these mods like to be anonymous so they can do whatever they want without any professional blowback. The problem is well intending docs that are actually trying to help are blocked for no legitimate reason. Honestly I think right answer is likely just walk away from the whole thing but what a shame as reddit could be a great forum. Id say in the least reddit should make these mods introduce themself and declare any conflict of interest. Otherwise we will continue to see people use rules to their own advantage. You don't like a competitor. Block them every time they breathe.
On that front anyone know who mods the ICL and who Wavefront Rider is. It is fascinating Wavefront Rider introduced his sub on Ophthalmogy which requires disclosure if they are a doc , patient etc. He did not disclose which category he falls in. Not only did ophthalmology reddit not block the post but the comment section is fascinating. Someone says we don't need more subs...everyone should be in ophthalmology. Ironically, wavefront rider made an ap called crostpost control. I set up a wave light plus page and he is using the same logic that someone said to him against me ie 'We don't need more subs. You should just use mine' and blocks all posts from me. I don't know any other word for this whole thing other than petty tyrants. At a loss for how to get reddit admin to pay attention or how to get these anonymous people to apply rules with some consistency and not for their own personal gain. They are ruining reddit and frankly I find the behavior cowardly and petty. Calling a spade a spade... maybe I get blocked here as well. Cest la vie
