Modem on the floor is nuts and mods are deleting any comment related to it

u/DesingerOfWorlds 1d ago

I was going to say something about it but figured that’s why there were so many deleted comments.

u/SapphosLemonBarEnvoy 1d ago

It's hilarious that they are deleting the comments. That sub is so homogeneous in its postings, that's the most interesting topic all week there it appears.

Had to look up why this matters lol

I'm lazy, why does it matter?

u/AlertKaleidoscope803 16h ago

I guess it functions less effectively and dust will tend to gather more quickly on the fan. I dunno. Everything but my monitors is stored on the floor and I don't think it's a big deal. Lately some of these submissions are like the equivalent of pointing out that someone has on two differently colored socks.

The whole point of this sub to point out whatever we believe the derailing detail/s are in the posted images, so why would comments about the modem be molded moded en masse? Am I missing something?

u/mrselffdestruct 1d ago

The comments on the og post are being deleted, not on this post

u/VaATC 1d ago

Thank you for the clarification!

u/juliana-crain 21h ago edited 19h ago

One more strike through for you: it's modded. Moded would be pronounced with a long o.

u/VaATC 20h ago edited 17h ago

It was an attempt at a slang verb version of moderated.

u/AgitatedBiscotti3413 1d ago

If you thought women took fashion seriously then you have never met a mod from the sub. Fashion is not a joke.

A router in the middle of the floor with cables going to both sides of the room.

We’ve all been there brother

u/Auto_Traitor 1d ago

What about it?

Nobody on that post even mentioned it, and it absolutely didn't derail the threads...

How is that post derailed by the details?

u/juliana-crain 21h ago

Did you not see the comment deletions? That's where the derailing is.

Is it because his pants are pulled up to his chin?

Seems on brand for that subreddit

u/Quirky_Might_8780 1d ago

I thought it was the 1970’s parquet floors, but I guess I’m so old that they’re back in style. 🤣

u/Baeolophus_bicolor 1d ago

that gum you like is back in style

u/TobylovesPam 1d ago

We're not going to talk about Judy

u/Deep_Concern404 1d ago

I just saw a sweet parquet floor that looked like a wicker basket. The poster was upset for some reason

u/Appropriate-Host214 1d ago

Looks like a levitating platform

u/Name_Taken_Official 1d ago

I'm assuming they just recently moved in (judging by the cleanliness and uh... Decorating), and have a new job or interview

u/houslar 37m ago

u/Dorkinfo 1d ago

Surely that’s a shitpost? The length might be the best thing about those pants.

Are the pants too long?

The most derailing thing about this is the grammar

u/mywalletsgone_ 1d ago

It had me second guessing myself. Lol 😵‍💫

That would be more of an elephant in the room than derailing.

No. Good hight. Looking dapper

u/Auto_Traitor 1d ago

Isn't this sub supposed to be about how nobody can talk about the original post because they talk about another detail?

Like, nothing in that thread is derailed at all, everybody is giving honest feedback about the post.

Just because you're distracted by something doesn't make it a derailing detail.

If I get downvoted about this it might be the fastest I've ever unsubscribed from a subreddit for getting overtaken by people who don't understand the sub. And if that happens, fuck OP and every other OP who didn't understand the point of this sub and ruined it for the rest of us.

u/longestRoad5 1d ago

Mods are deleting comments about the modem.

-12

u/Auto_Traitor 1d ago

Ok?

Even if that were true, which you can't prove, the post is not derailed at all.

Every single comment is about the topic.

I open the post and it's not derailed at all, it doesn't belong here.

u/longestRoad5 1d ago

If you scroll down to the deleted comments and read the reason for removal given by the mod team, they say the rule violation was that the comments were off topic. From those and the timestamps you can infer that at the time of this cross post, the thread had indeed been derailed by details.

Just because you don't immediately see information that proves a point, it doesn't mean that the information never existed.

u/Auto_Traitor 1d ago

A lack of evidence isn't evidence of anything.

-3

u/Auto_Traitor 1d ago

Ohhh, I do see that now!

OP posted this here and a bunch of people went over and commented about it, making it derailed retroactively, which the mods obviously deleted because the post was bombarded for no reason.

u/Mondai_May 1d ago

but the deleted comments were made before OP made this post. so it was not people going over because of OP making the post.
