u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as “LAWFUL STUPID” shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with “roll for persuasion or intimidation” if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.
For what it’s worth, the admins won’t actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That’s why it says “private moderator note”, it’s a note only the mod team can see
(It’s still funny, though)
I just assumed admins can see the private mod notes.
You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol
Admins can see absolutely everything on the site, I assume
Technically they have the ability to do anything there, whether they have dedicated tools to make it easy or worth while is likely a different story. Also heavily depends on functionality of the site.
Removed by mod
That is correct, though there is a difference between deliberately editing comments in the database and getting pinged for a response. If the system doesn’t tell or notify them explicitly that the person replied and they’re not looking for a reply they just won’t see it.
I just assume admins have access to prod databases and can run queries against it.
SELECT * FROM saved WHERE username = 'noodle';UPDATE post SET link = "https://youtube.com/rickroll" WHERE username = 'noodle';That kinda thing.
Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.
You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.
I’m sure they have access to them.
Admins even having the ability to disable replies on DMs is pretty telling.
I’m guessing they’ll see it now 😏
