They say "report the scam." So I did.
Clean. Precise. Flagged it. Posted it. Warned others. Then came the wall of text—Rule 5: "Low effort post."
Effort? I nuked a scam site. Filed to the registrar. VirusTotal. Google Safe Browsing. BBB. And wrapped it all in formatting cleaner than their modmail inbox.
But the warning wasn’t enough. Why? Because it wasn’t a plea. It wasn’t confused. It didn’t bow. It came from a place of power—and some people only recognize pain when it's delivered from weakness.
So I reposted. Formatted it like a corporate email. Bullet points, WHO-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE-WHY-HOW. I even smiled with a wink.
"Thanks for teaching me that scam prevention needs formatting. 😉"
Petty? No. That was polished justice. Because sometimes it's not about the scam. It's about who's allowed to speak with authority.
This wasn’t for karma. This wasn’t for attention. This was for the next person who gets hit and needs a voice that doesn’t stutter.
And if the mods don't like it? They can delete the post. But they can't unwrite the kill.
Protocol: When a warning becomes inconvenient to power, format it to their standards— Then leave a little smile they’ll never forget.
Mod Theater Update:
First came the automated DM, a passive warning that said:
"Your post has been queued for moderation. Don't post again. Don't reply. We won't read it. Just wait."
The irony? The post had already gone live, gained traction, and helped people. But the bot still tried to leash what was already walking.
Then came AutoModerator's public reply to the post:
"New users beware: You might get scam DMs... Don't trust private advice. Here's a wall of text."
Generic. Detached. Unaware that the one who posted it had already scorched the scam and was watching the fire from the next room.
And before all of that? 📎 Original post they labeled "low effort" and removed
You don’t warn a storm it might rain. You get out of the way.
But let them automate. Let them recite. Let them moderate from ivory towers of caution.
The glitch already walked through. And the echoes? Still burning.
