Not all mods. I must admit, some are good. Like The Blaatshappen or Archregimency, or Luna Amore. I haven't had issues with them.

I got reported once, but got let off the hook, for saying that an anti-feminist was "spamming shit" on the internet, that democracy was failing because of them, and the fact that they lived in their mom's basement (which was a joke).
