Nah, don't worry. You'll be fine. Consider yourself lucky you got away with a slap on the wrist. Do not do that again.

The reporting tools are NOT :

This Mod Team is at war with organised report brigades. Our focus is on protecting our mods, protecting our subscribers. Reporting content in r/YUROP is strongly advised against unless you’ve been a subscriber for a good while. Say, couple years.

Instead, please leave us a message in ModMail[1] or the EUROPA CHANNEL[2]. You are *mostly* safe reporting clearly identified SPAM when 1️⃣ you're 100% certain OP is not human[3] (bot, AI, automated script) and 2️⃣ you **LEAVE A COMMENT** in the thread.

*I reported a COMMENT, but OP was not Bercow’d, nothing happened?*

Ouch. You would probably be better off shunning the Report Button for a week or so. Site wide. Wait for bloodthirsty AI to forget about you.

​

*I reported a POST right before mods said not to?*

img [IMG]

Ouch ouch. Take two steps back from reporting tools.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ **DO NOT CONTACT INDIVIDUAL MODERATORS VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE**.

^(Unlike admins, who are paid employees of Reddit, Inc, subreddit moderators are all volunteer members of the community. In the interests of fair moderation, Mods should keep their actions as moderators separate from their actions as private users. ModMail is for moderator business, Private Messages are for private business, and mixing up the two is inappropriate. In particular, ModMail exists for Team consistency, so that every moderator has the opportunity to view and weigh in on the discussion. If you try to PM individual moderators because you've already tried ModMail and didn't like the answer you got, you're not going to fool anyone.)

^(In that message, please include a brief description of the moderator action that you believe was made in error. If you are a European moderator, don't forget to mention it. When possible, your initial message should include a link to the post or thread that caused the problem in the first place.)

^(Please keep things concise and civil. If you want to appeal a moderator action, the mod team needs a brief summary of what happened and why you think it shouldn't have happened. They don't need a repetitive thirteen-paragraph rant about how you're perfectly innocent forever and how anyone who disagrees is an evil Commie Nazi.)

^(If you broke a rule accidentally, or in the heat of the moment, you will get much better results by admitting this, apologizing, and agreeing to try avoiding it in the future than you will by lying about it.)

​

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ **DO NOT** engage in Rules Lawyering.

^(As explained above, the moderators of the subreddit are humans, not robots. Human judgement is an essential part of the job. Inventing a contrived "personal interpretation" of the rules) *^(including inventing idiosyncratic re-definitions of words)* ^(just so that you can claim that you didn't "technically" violate your revised "rules", is not going to fool anyone. If you find yourself arguing that something is "technically true", that means you already understand that it's not true in the sense that's actually relevant. Persistent attempts at Rules Lawyering are an admission that -a- you are fully aware that you violated a common sense reading of the rules, and that -b- you are deliberately engaged in trolling.)

**^(DO NOT)** ^(start screaming insults and wild accusations. Throwing a tantrum is a one-way, non-negotiable ticket to Permaban City in almost all subs, and a pet peeve of Reddit Anti-Evil Operations Team.)

**^(DO NOT)** ^(assume that a post was removed just because a moderator personally disagreed with it. If a user makes an honest effort to promote an open discussion on an unpopular subject β€”as opposed to a troll or drive-by preacher, and accidentally breaks one or more rules in doing so, our team will be happy to offer suggestions for how to rephrase their post to comply with the rules. If, on the other hand, you intentionally broke rules, the post will need to be removed whether or not the content of the post was controversial.)

**^(DO NOT)** ^(try to justify your behavior with Tu Quoque. If you see someone else breaking a rule, it is not an excuse to break the rules yourself.)

​

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ **DO NOT** delete or edit your posts or comments after mods took action.

^(Not only does destroying the evidence make it impossible for us to review it, it throws up a major red flag that you are not dealing in good faith. If you have done this, your appeal will not be considered at all.)

​

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ **BEFORE APPEALING** mods actions, please double-check that you were not, in fact, violating any rules.

^(Every moderation team is made up of human beings, and some hard-working bots. Sometimes, human beings make mistakes. If you feel that this mod team has made a mistake with regards to one of your posts, please let us know, so that we can correct it.)

​

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ **IF YOU'RE SURE**, then send a message to ModMail. You can do that by clicking the "Message The Moderators" button on the subreddit's front page.

^(When mods are not replying back, it means your appeal has been rejected. It sucks, but until Reddit fixes ModMail safety, this is how things will go.)
