META Following the Rules

I'd like to thank the active members of this community. Your vigilance and dedication help keep our sub safe. I saw some nasty comments today directed towards u/thevomitgirl and u/ATXbunnie. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in any way. I appreciate all of the heart and soul they put into this sub. It's up to all of us to keep this a safe place. The next time you see someone point out a rule, thank them for protecting this community. It's a thankless task that is very necessary considering the scammy nature of some Reddit users.

Yes, to be very clear, the abuse of ANYONE here will strictly not be tolerated. Whether that abuse is directed toward a moderator or one of the helpers here, the person that is being abusive WILL be banned. People put in a lot of their time, freely and because they want to, and they do not deserve to be treated the way these two kind souls were treated yesterday.

Our moderators volunteer their time to make sure that both our givers and our requesters are kept safe and protected here. And there are a handful of people that do their best to make sure that they fill the gaps where the moderators can't be everywhere at all times. These people deserve the same respect as the moderators, and everyone else for that matter. Maybe more so because they do not even get the recognition of being a mod and they are doing what they do just to help.
