SD using AI to moderate?

19,070 4,622 May 1, 2026 at 12:28 PM
reported a thread by a new user with only 1 post. the mod picked up my report and told me the post is legit. After further digging , I believe I can prove the user is actually connected to the company selling the product. Tried to reply to the PM I've receive just to get an error with the mod doesnt accept PM's

the mod is Member since Mar 2018 and has 16 posts (sixteen posts in 8 years)


Either Schooby is desperate and decided to hire a leech ( no 401k matching hurts the talent pool) or the account is a bot

How come a SD user cant reply to a mod once the mod accepts the interaction ?

Hello Binar! I am the mod that took your mod alert today. Not sure what the issue may have been with the PM error, but we just checked it and I'm able to receive PMs. You're right; I'm a new mod here, and only have a handful of posts, but you can feel free to reach out to me again via PM with an additional information regarding the mod alert. Thanks!

Ya. I'm wondering if your low post count blocked you to receive PM's. Thank you SD for watching out for the community
Just wait til you find out there's several hidden forums and you dont have access to them.

I appreciate the screenshot. It will help us look into something we were unaware of, and we'll work on fixing that today. Thanks again!
