The protests get even more creative. PoliticalHumor mods have set it so that if you subscribe to the community you can now do moderator actions through comments.

No more “Landed Gentry” here, just a total shitshow of deleted comments and lack of cohesive moderation.

They can’t ban all of us

      It looks like they’ve done it through automod actions, so if you type a comment like “!lock” automod will lock the thread for you. Other things like downvoting a comment to below -8 results in the user in question receiving a temporary ban. Apparently they are hard at work on new commands to let all users run roughshod over the sub.

      Your wish is our command: Here are your new moderator permissions.

      • To lock the comments on any post, simply comment !lock as a top-level comment on any post.
      • To unlock the comments on any post, vote the AutoModerator stickied comment on each post high enough, and comments will be unlocked.
      • To lock any comment on any post, reply to it with “!lock”.
      • To temporarily ban any user, simply get their comment or post to a -8 score.
      • To remove any submission, reply to a submission with a top level comment of !remove. Must have sufficient subreddit-level karma.
