Criticism towards Cyberix being deflected by moderation under the guise of the criticizer being "zeldrt"
'm posting the full chatlog from the SSH chat for transparency and archival purposes. Judge for yourselves.
TLDR: Moderator MyRd refused to share AutoMod prompt, deflected all criticism, accused me of being a banned user named 'zeldrt', and never addressed the actual issue.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <roriman> > tbh while I dont have a problem with automod currently, I think the moment phase 2 begins (where I assume automated action would end up taking place) is where shit will inevitably hit the fan. I still fail to see why automod is a good idea given that its LLM-based, something that iirc not even Reddit's automod does. There HAS to be a better way. Do I know what said way is? No because I'm retarded, but I know someone does. You can always find people who bypass the need for things like cloudflare/anubis/LLMs/etc and all this other pozzed bullshit.Automod was supposed to be for hiding posts until approved by a moderator (ie. "queuing"), not for outright deleting posts.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Yeah the idea of giving it control was briefly talked about but I don't think it was ever part of the plan.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <chimaera> auto queuing would definitely be better than auto deletion
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Thus why action=queue and not =delete

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > There HAS to be a better way. Do I know what said way is? No because I'm retarded, but I know someone does.There is no alternative way. We're leveraging models that have trained on data to try and understand the quality of posts in order to more easily moderate on. There are anti-spam, there are keyword blacklists, there are a number of systems that do part of a shitty job. With all these other systems other sites tend to use, you end up frustrating some real users who end up hitting something they shouldn't. Reddit's AutoMod for example seems to be given more of a whitelist of words to say than a blacklist given its community.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> One of the key problems Cyberix has that ends up being it's top feature is the ability to post Anonymously: this already narrows down any alternative ways we can judge a posts quality because we're no longer able to check a post history reliably.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <chimaera> yeah that makes sense since most forums that need an account can get by with simpler tools for moderation whether it be manual or automatic, but cyberix not only can you post anonymously, but theres a lot of people using it, and automod would definitely at least be better than resorting to captchas or account requirements.

[u] the automod is adopting an insulting, condescending tone. its commentaries read like a smug moderator mocking users:
[u] "Go back to TikTok"
[u] "Go back to where you learned basic vocabulary"
[u] "typical of a lazy poster"
[u] It's performing personality-based moderation rather than neutral quality assessment.
[u] It should be removed.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You should be removed.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Completely unrelated to the topic.
[u] https://cy-x.net/topic/https-tululoo-com/872
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> AutoMod has no personality.
[u] [AutoMod] action=keep R:5 E:3 N:2 C:6 | The post is a lazy follow-up with zero substance. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding regarding programming concepts. Go back to TikTok if you can't articulate a coherent thought.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> The problem is the prompt is phrased enough in a way that it attempts to give it one.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It's kind of funny though.
[u] Is it really?
[u] https://cy-x.net/topic/how-much-bridging-is-too-much-bridging/839?page=1#p18138
[u] Wow it learned caps lock!
[u] So funny
[u] [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:1 | THE POST IS A DIRECT, HIGHLY RELEVANT RESPONSE TO THE THREAD. THE INSULT IS EXPLICIT AND DEMONSTRATES A MINIMUM LEVEL OF EFFORT. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE CONTRIBUTION.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It's not like a human moderator bans and deletes just because AutoMod said shit.
[u] The impression that automod gives is not a good one
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It's not easy coming up with a balanced prompt.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> And I don't think the AutoMod result on that one is even real.
[u] "Determine if this post is suitable for an anonymous forum that prioritizes sophisticated speech over 4chan-tier shitposts"
[u] Was it really that hard?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Yes because now every post including spam is given a thumbs up.
[u] What does that say about the site?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You have to work within the limited training data that the LLM was given.
[u] What model is it runnng on?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Does it scrape 4chan? I don't think so. Does it know what a shit-tier 4chan post it? Not a clue.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Don't remember what it is called but it is locally run.
[u] What prompt is it given?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Not public.
[u] Why not?
* counter joined. (Connected: 4)

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Because why?
[u] Your automod is flawed and there doesn't seem to be a solution. If the issue is in the prompt, other people who are interested in the site would likely help fx it up for you
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> We are working to fix it up ourselves when we can.
[u] When?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> When the person who handles the automod can.
[u] Do you not handle the automod?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> No.
[u] How do you know its prompt?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I am a moderator.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> The prompt is visible to me but I have no permission to alter it.
[u] Therefore, you should be able to at least give us the prompt.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I can. I specifically do not want to.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> :)
[u] That seems counterproductive
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> you seem counterproductive
[u] Do you actually want a solution or are you trying to make excuses for your automod calling people retarded and biasing its ratings
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> A solution won't come from you.
[u] Don't judge a book by its cover.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> This isn't judging a book.
[u] You are judging my capabilities solely based on what I have said in this chat.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I am not. A solution won't come from you no matter what capabilities you have.
[u] And why is that? Who controls the AutoMod?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It would not be worth the effort posting the AutoMod prompt here.

[u] I am only interested in making the site enjoyable. Currently your AutoMod screams reddit liberal faggotry.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Then ignore the AutoMod. It is a small box. If you can't avert your eyes from that small box, it is not our problem.
[u] Then what goal does it serve being on the site?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It assiststs in human moderation.

[u] How helpful. How are reposts handled on this site?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> they aren't.

[u] Why aren't they?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I don't see the problem here.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> What is reposted and why are reposts bad?
[u] We all know the "OP" behind the reposts is not the original person who made what is being reposted in the first place. They will never contribute to te thread beyond being the OP.

mb-bot: [xmpp] What's the issue?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Apparently nobody is allowed to repost topics from 4chan and AutoMod is useless.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> yep
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> so now, what's the prompt again?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I would see a problem with reposting if an entire thread was being reposted in Reddit-style where it was just a mirror from something ages ago. It's not. It's just an OP that mirrors a topic and the replies are still by Cyberix users.
mb-bot: [xmpp] 4Chan is a place where good shit can be made but immediately disappears because its populous cares only for loli porn and shitposting.I see no problem with rescuing good information and threads that serve a purpose longterm onto Cyberix.
[u] The OP will never respond to any posts that directly question it.Because the OP is not real.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Agreed, and not just from 4chan.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > The OP will never respond to any posts that directly question it.Because the OP is not real.The OP is real.
[u] The OP who reposts the threads is not the OP who made the true original thread.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> kek
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You say that as if the OP is a direct copy from the 4chan thread you linked when it is not.
[u] The last one I posted certainly was a direct copy.

[u] This is a direct copy.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It is not.
[u] Really?
[u] Did you read both threads and make a comparison?
[u] Here's an example:
[u] "
[u] Anonymous Thu 12 Jun 2025 07:20:55 No.105568943 Report
[u] "On all modern CPUs there is an entire OS running in Ring -1 beyond your reach. "
[u] Present in both links
[u] "There is also things to worry about like speakers. A lot of people yank out microphones (or cover them) to prevent eavesdropping. But a speaker is the same thing and can be used just as easily for the same purpose. Most people don't think about that. You should assume any device with a camera, speakers, and microphone is both listening to you and watching you at all times."
[u] Present in both links.
[u] There's a big space between this sentence and the next.
[u] The next is from another thread.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> So we agree that they aren't the same post.
[u] https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/105566250/#105568999
[u] They are just multiple 4chan posts stitched together.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > This is a direct copy.So... we agree you are wrong.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Is somebody not allowed to compile together a bunch of 4chan posts from a thread and post it in a forum format?
[u] It is a direct copy. Don't play games with me. Are you trying to say that copying posts from other websites is okay as long as I'm able to stitch these reposts into one good OP?
[u] What really is the difference between the imageboard format and the forum format if I can easily copy one to another bidirectionally?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Because this is what it looks like. Somebody found a useful 4chan thread and wanted to repost it for posterity and conversation to Cyberix.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > It is a direct copy.You literally just said it wasn't, after you already said you did.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> This is not a direct copy.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Regardless, it doesn't fucking matter. Reposts are fine.
[u] They post it as if they wrote the OP. They will never respond to any inquiries that are directed towards them. Because they did not write it.
[u] It is effectively a bot.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> But they are not a bot.
[u] It posts things and leaves. Never comes back.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > This AutoMod doesn't help.Helpful to me.
[u] I don't know your little inside cliques. I think it's unfair that this AutoMod is clearly biased and has an incentive to insult users based on metrics that we can't see, meanwhile direct 4chan reposts are supposedly allowed. On a site that explicitly says they want to create original, "sophisticated" content, this feels very conflicting.

[u] No, if this can't be fixed, I'm just going to leave and shittalk your site on the other boards I use so it remains dead. AutoMod has been a "work in progress" for the past 2-3 months according to the date of the banner's OP.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> oh no, he's going to talk shit about the website
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> An idiot is someone who thinks one can snap their fingers and fix all the problems.
[u] These are (Two) problems
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> 3 months of changing the prompt, changing how it rates, changing what it judges.
[u] And has it gotten any better when it was told to start acting like a faggot?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> The prompt is the size of an essay, not two sentences.
[u] That doesn't seem too token efficient.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You can't have an LLM rate posts with two sentences.

Summary of what happened:
I raised concerns about AutoMod using an insulting, condescending tone ("Go back to TikTok," "typical of a lazy poster," caps lock yelling). I provided multiple links as evidence.
I asked reasonable questions:
What model is AutoMod running on?
What prompt is it given?
Why isn't the prompt public if transparency is the goal?
Who controls AutoMod?
MyRd (a moderator) refused to share the prompt, saying "I specifically do not want to" and "It's not happening. Stop trying."
When I continued asking, MyRd accused me of being a user named "zeldrt" and "Developer" based on "same phrasing, same usage of terminology, same structure."
I denied this multiple times. MyRd insisted, then mocked me with a copypasta about a hypothetical "cheeto-dust-covered" NEET.
The conversation then devolved into ad hominem attacks from moderation, while my original criticisms about AutoMod and 4chan reposts were never addressed.
The core issues I raised (still unanswered):
AutoMod adopts an insulting, smug tone toward users. Is this intentional or a flaw in the prompt?
If the prompt is the issue, why not open it to community improvement?
4chan reposts presented as original OPs: the "OP" never responds to direct questions because they didn't write the content.
Is this considered acceptable content?
What I observed:
Instead of engaging with the criticism, moderation:
Refused to answer basic transparency questions
Dismissed valid concerns as "crying" and being "offended"
Resorted to ad hominem ("spoiled child," "act like you're retarded")
Accused me of being a banned user to discredit me
Never once addressed the actual AutoMod tone examples I provided
If the prompt is truly a 'work in progress,' why not make it public in a Git repo so the community can submit improvements via pull requests?
My question to the forum:
Is this how Cyberix handles criticism from users who aren't part of the "inner clique"? Because if an AutoMod that insults people and moderation that deflects rather than discusses is the culture here, that's worth knowing upfront.
I have no idea who "zeldrt" is. I don't care. What I care about is being dismissed and attacked for asking reasonable questions about a system that publicly rates and insults user posts.
Does anyone else have similar experiences with AutoMod or moderation deflecting criticism? Post them here.
TLDR: Moderator MyRd refused to share AutoMod prompt, deflected all criticism, accused me of being a banned user named 'zeldrt', and never addressed the actual issue.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <roriman> > tbh while I dont have a problem with automod currently, I think the moment phase 2 begins (where I assume automated action would end up taking place) is where shit will inevitably hit the fan. I still fail to see why automod is a good idea given that its LLM-based, something that iirc not even Reddit's automod does. There HAS to be a better way. Do I know what said way is? No because I'm retarded, but I know someone does. You can always find people who bypass the need for things like cloudflare/anubis/LLMs/etc and all this other pozzed bullshit.Automod was supposed to be for hiding posts until approved by a moderator (ie. "queuing"), not for outright deleting posts.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Yeah the idea of giving it control was briefly talked about but I don't think it was ever part of the plan.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <chimaera> auto queuing would definitely be better than auto deletion
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Thus why action=queue and not =delete

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > There HAS to be a better way. Do I know what said way is? No because I'm retarded, but I know someone does.There is no alternative way. We're leveraging models that have trained on data to try and understand the quality of posts in order to more easily moderate on. There are anti-spam, there are keyword blacklists, there are a number of systems that do part of a shitty job. With all these other systems other sites tend to use, you end up frustrating some real users who end up hitting something they shouldn't. Reddit's AutoMod for example seems to be given more of a whitelist of words to say than a blacklist given its community.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> One of the key problems Cyberix has that ends up being it's top feature is the ability to post Anonymously: this already narrows down any alternative ways we can judge a posts quality because we're no longer able to check a post history reliably.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <chimaera> yeah that makes sense since most forums that need an account can get by with simpler tools for moderation whether it be manual or automatic, but cyberix not only can you post anonymously, but theres a lot of people using it, and automod would definitely at least be better than resorting to captchas or account requirements.

[u] the automod is adopting an insulting, condescending tone. its commentaries read like a smug moderator mocking users:
[u] "Go back to TikTok"
[u] "Go back to where you learned basic vocabulary"
[u] "typical of a lazy poster"
[u] It's performing personality-based moderation rather than neutral quality assessment.
[u] It should be removed.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You should be removed.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Completely unrelated to the topic.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> AutoMod has no personality.
[u] [AutoMod] action=keep R:5 E:3 N:2 C:6 | The post is a lazy follow-up with zero substance. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding regarding programming concepts. Go back to TikTok if you can't articulate a coherent thought.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> The problem is the prompt is phrased enough in a way that it attempts to give it one.

[u] Wow it learned caps lock!
[u] So funny
[u] [AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:10 N:9 C:1 | THE POST IS A DIRECT, HIGHLY RELEVANT RESPONSE TO THE THREAD. THE INSULT IS EXPLICIT AND DEMONSTRATES A MINIMUM LEVEL OF EFFORT. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE CONTRIBUTION.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It's not like a human moderator bans and deletes just because AutoMod said shit.
[u] The impression that automod gives is not a good one
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It's not easy coming up with a balanced prompt.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> And I don't think the AutoMod result on that one is even real.
[u] "Determine if this post is suitable for an anonymous forum that prioritizes sophisticated speech over 4chan-tier shitposts"
[u] Was it really that hard?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Yes because now every post including spam is given a thumbs up.
[u] What does that say about the site?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You have to work within the limited training data that the LLM was given.
[u] What model is it runnng on?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Does it scrape 4chan? I don't think so. Does it know what a shit-tier 4chan post it? Not a clue.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Don't remember what it is called but it is locally run.
[u] What prompt is it given?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Not public.
[u] Why not?

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Because why?
[u] Your automod is flawed and there doesn't seem to be a solution. If the issue is in the prompt, other people who are interested in the site would likely help fx it up for you
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> We are working to fix it up ourselves when we can.
[u] When?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> When the person who handles the automod can.
[u] Do you not handle the automod?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> No.
[u] How do you know its prompt?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I am a moderator.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> The prompt is visible to me but I have no permission to alter it.
[u] Therefore, you should be able to at least give us the prompt.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I can. I specifically do not want to.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> :)
[u] That seems counterproductive
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> you seem counterproductive
[u] Do you actually want a solution or are you trying to make excuses for your automod calling people retarded and biasing its ratings
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> A solution won't come from you.
[u] Don't judge a book by its cover.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> This isn't judging a book.
[u] You are judging my capabilities solely based on what I have said in this chat.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I am not. A solution won't come from you no matter what capabilities you have.
[u] And why is that? Who controls the AutoMod?

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Then ignore the AutoMod. It is a small box. If you can't avert your eyes from that small box, it is not our problem.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> What is reposted and why are reposts bad?

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Apparently nobody is allowed to repost topics from 4chan and AutoMod is useless.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> yep
mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> so now, what's the prompt again?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> I would see a problem with reposting if an entire thread was being reposted in Reddit-style where it was just a mirror from something ages ago. It's not. It's just an OP that mirrors a topic and the replies are still by Cyberix users.
mb-bot: [xmpp]
[u] The OP will never respond to any posts that directly question it.Because the OP is not real.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Agreed, and not just from 4chan.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > The OP will never respond to any posts that directly question it.Because the OP is not real.The OP is real.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <prenbis> kek
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> You say that as if the OP is a direct copy from the 4chan thread you linked when it is not.

[u] This is a direct copy.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> It is not.
[u] Really?
[u] Did you read both threads and make a comparison?
[u] Here's an example:
[u] "
[u] Anonymous Thu 12 Jun 2025 07:20:55 No.105568943 Report
[u] "On all modern CPUs there is an entire OS running in Ring -1 beyond your reach. "
[u] Present in both links
[u] "There is also things to worry about like speakers. A lot of people yank out microphones (or cover them) to prevent eavesdropping. But a speaker is the same thing and can be used just as easily for the same purpose. Most people don't think about that. You should assume any device with a camera, speakers, and microphone is both listening to you and watching you at all times."
[u] Present in both links.
[u] There's a big space between this sentence and the next.
[u] The next is from another thread.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> So we agree that they aren't the same post.
[u] https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/105566250/#105568999
[u] They are just multiple 4chan posts stitched together.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > This is a direct copy.So... we agree you are wrong.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Is somebody not allowed to compile together a bunch of 4chan posts from a thread and post it in a forum format?
[u] It is a direct copy. Don't play games with me. Are you trying to say that copying posts from other websites is okay as long as I'm able to stitch these reposts into one good OP?
[u] What really is the difference between the imageboard format and the forum format if I can easily copy one to another bidirectionally?
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Because this is what it looks like. Somebody found a useful 4chan thread and wanted to repost it for posterity and conversation to Cyberix.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > It is a direct copy.You literally just said it wasn't, after you already said you did.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> This is not a direct copy.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> Regardless, it doesn't fucking matter. Reposts are fine.
[u] They post it as if they wrote the OP. They will never respond to any inquiries that are directed towards them. Because they did not write it.
[u] It is effectively a bot.
mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> But they are not a bot.

mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> > This AutoMod doesn't help.Helpful to me.
[u] I don't know your little inside cliques. I think it's unfair that this AutoMod is clearly biased and has an incentive to insult users based on metrics that we can't see, meanwhile direct 4chan reposts are supposedly allowed. On a site that explicitly says they want to create original, "sophisticated" content, this feels very conflicting.

It is 6pm on a warm sunny day, but he doesn't know that. As nothing but the bright glow of his monitor illuminates his face, making light on the cheeto dust of his cheeks and the piece of pepperoni he picks up from his shirt to shove into his mouth, he chuckles. "Touch grass you say?", he gives another chuckle before opening up his linux terminal which quickly displayed his neofetch, showing off his beautiful Gentoo system. He licks some of the cheeto dust off his chin before typing the command with his fat fingers. He laughs manically now with every flab of fat on his body jiggling, the house shaking in response. On his linux terminal simply reads these characters:```$ touch grass$ _```

Summary of what happened:
I raised concerns about AutoMod using an insulting, condescending tone ("Go back to TikTok," "typical of a lazy poster," caps lock yelling). I provided multiple links as evidence.
I asked reasonable questions:
What model is AutoMod running on?
What prompt is it given?
Why isn't the prompt public if transparency is the goal?
Who controls AutoMod?
MyRd (a moderator) refused to share the prompt, saying "I specifically do not want to" and "It's not happening. Stop trying."
When I continued asking, MyRd accused me of being a user named "zeldrt" and "Developer" based on "same phrasing, same usage of terminology, same structure."
I denied this multiple times. MyRd insisted, then mocked me with a copypasta about a hypothetical "cheeto-dust-covered" NEET.
The conversation then devolved into ad hominem attacks from moderation, while my original criticisms about AutoMod and 4chan reposts were never addressed.
The core issues I raised (still unanswered):
AutoMod adopts an insulting, smug tone toward users. Is this intentional or a flaw in the prompt?
If the prompt is the issue, why not open it to community improvement?
4chan reposts presented as original OPs: the "OP" never responds to direct questions because they didn't write the content.
Is this considered acceptable content?
What I observed:
Instead of engaging with the criticism, moderation:
Refused to answer basic transparency questions
Dismissed valid concerns as "crying" and being "offended"
Resorted to ad hominem ("spoiled child," "act like you're retarded")
Accused me of being a banned user to discredit me
Never once addressed the actual AutoMod tone examples I provided
If the prompt is truly a 'work in progress,' why not make it public in a Git repo so the community can submit improvements via pull requests?
My question to the forum:
Is this how Cyberix handles criticism from users who aren't part of the "inner clique"? Because if an AutoMod that insults people and moderation that deflects rather than discusses is the culture here, that's worth knowing upfront.
I have no idea who "zeldrt" is. I don't care. What I care about is being dismissed and attacked for asking reasonable questions about a system that publicly rates and insults user posts.
Does anyone else have similar experiences with AutoMod or moderation deflecting criticism? Post them here.

>mb-bot: [xmpp] <MyRd> LOL
Noted. No denial, no explanation, no answer to the original questions about AutoMod's tone or why the prompt can't be shared. Just "LOL."
I'll take that as a public confirmation that moderation's response to criticism is mockery and deflection.
Still waiting on:
Why AutoMod calls users "retarded" and tells them to "go back to TikTok"
Why the prompt can't be open-sourced for community improvement
Whether 4chan reposts presented as original OPs are official site policy
If any moderator (not just MyRd) wants to address these substantively, the thread is open.
