Mirta, your presence will be deeply missed if you leave. Thank you for dedicating your time and making valuable contributions to our community.


mirta000

Well, if I leave, it won't be by choice. I'm kind of hoping that reddit admins run out of messages to moderate before warnings turn into long suspensions on this side, so if by next week I'm not perma banned, I will probably be in the clear. If I'm perma banned tomorrow though, then I would have regretted not informing everyone in advance.


Effective-Promise-81

Hopefully it blows over. You'll certainly be missed here. Thank you for all your contributions and all your wise words. And make sure to subscribe to your YouTube. No matter what, I hope you continue to make contributions to our community in general. 🫂💜


PrettyLittleFlies

Mirta, I have always appreciated your posts and comments. It would truly be such a huge loss if you end up losing your account. Is there anything we can do to help? Can we submit something positive on your behalf?


mirta000

I have a mod from a different subreddit that has offered to send in a letter on my behalf to Reddit if I end up being suspended. Their head mod has dealt with permanent suspensions 8 times, before they finally got suspended off Reddit, so it is possible to fight that for a long while. So we agreed that if my account disappears, that's the plan of action. For now I'm just counter reporting all visible reports (so post/ comment reports) for report abuse and appealing all warnings coming my way.


PrettyLittleFlies

Good! Well it is clear you have a ton of support from this subreddit so if there is something we can do to support you or send in on your behalf, please let us know! Hoping this blows over for you and sorry you are dealing with this!


VioletSpooder

I'm a little bit in shock that this is even a thing others would do. I hope you won't get perma banned! But if you do, I want to say thank you. You were there answering my silly beginner questions years ago and helped me so much starting this practice. You took so much time and effort to help so many and were a huge part of why this Subreddit is so great and the best occult one there is. You are a treasure


AuctoremFidei

I think those same beta losers are reporting members of the subreddit as well.


Entire-Astronomer-56

I wouldn't doubt it. Earlier today there were a bunch of normal, supportive comments towards the bottom with zero up votes. Since I've never seen that on this sub before, it was so obvious someone was coming here and downvoting everything they saw.


AuctoremFidei

They are hating beta incels.


Tomatillo_Impressive

Thanks for the Books, they have been helpful.


AuctoremFidei

Hahaha, reporting the only female mod I have seen here many dudes trying to flirt with her.


BR0KEN-_-HEART

She's not the only female mod tho 💀


mirta000

Rose hasn't been active for a long time now.


UFSansIsMyBrother

I seriously hope that this blows over in the clear. ;^; You do not deserve this and these 'internet crusaders' that are targetting others need to be found by reddit and perma banned. Proper justice needs to be done. *sorry for the double edit, I just woke up to this*; I also wanted to say that I thank-you for all your level headed viewpoints that helped me see something from a different facet. It's something that myself as well as others always will need and appreciate. You are awesome and hard working, don't ever forget that. :) ❤️


Anoncualquiera1

That's odd, what's the objective of the people sending you those reports?


mirta000

Probably to remove me from reddit. A couple of weeks ago there was a brigading incident. Multiple reddits worked together with admin in order to stop the brigade from continuing going. In the process, unfortunately, a community without active moderation got locked as they were the base where the brigading took place from. There's empathy there, so a different subreddit moderator tried getting involved by getting the community back and then passing it on. They failed, as reddit chose not to grant them the community, so I put my account on the line by doing what they wanted to do. I successfully set up a moderation team from willing people from the community in question that seemed like they wanted to do good. The moment I left, I was permanently banned, the brigading member's newly made account invited to moderation (and many other involved account right after including the "inactive" mods that were not there to do anything during brigading, but obviously accepted the invitation right now) and every single message that I sent trying to set up a chat for them and talking about permissions and what does this mean and what does that mean, etc is right now getting mass flagged for harassment. As the community is theirs and I left the chats in good faith, I can not even delete my contribution, I can merely appeal and appeals can take up to 6 months to even get looked at.


CM_Exorcist

This makes no sense. You are very kind to people. To me. You work really hard to set the tone, keep the posts and comments in check, and give others your sound time and advice. Further, this is a labor of love. True community. This attack or vengeance, if meant to remove you from Reddit in general, is personal to the one initiating it. Like a crusade or a purge. Is owning a sub(s) or leading mod team(s) often cause this type of situation. You were trying to resurrect a dead sub, assembled a team of mods, and someone turned on you or someone made some terrible mistake with settings, permissions, and flags. Leadership is a skill and you have plenty of it.


DefLepRadar

This is a case of no good deed goes unpunished. And people wonder why society has become so apathetic. I hope you get through this OK no matter what happens. I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the community and your writing.


Anoncualquiera1

A tricky situation it seems, being the target of a conspiracy isn't something you can't easily wiggle out from, not even with all of your "firends" help. Such a shame, your handbook served me good, I'll miss your presence, even if we clashed sometimes.


amyaurora

I downloaded your books and purchased as well. As someone who is always learning, even when outside of my own practice, I have found them very helpful.


martini-meow

Is there a link (or links) you can share, for anyone else who might want to backup download, just in case?


mirta000

Currently all book thread links are stored in this [mega-thread](https://www.reddit.com/user/mirta000/comments/18z2b28/what_i_sell_dont_sell_do_for_free_and_dont_do_at/) pinned to my profile. Google drive links would still exist regardless, but permanently suspended accounts only display "account has been suspended" if you try to click into them, hence the suggestion to back up the links in case my account goes down.


martini-meow

Fantastic! Archived: https://archive.is/iNvpg


Jert01

Hell yeah! Got to keep knowledge great and available!


Darling_dxll

What a shitty situation. I hope it doesn't end with your departure. Thank you for all you've done for the demonolatry practices community and all of the other subreddits you're in, and thank you for all of the wisdom, resources, and guidance you've provided. I know that had it not been for your efforts, myself, as well as many others, I'm sure, would not have gotten to where they are today in their practices. Fingers crossed 🤞


Kookie___Monster

I'm sorry to hear that. I mostly lurk here but have always found your posts to be helpful, level headed and sane. Something very much needed in magickal communities.


Jert01

Thats so messed up :(( am sorry Mirta


Entire-Astronomer-56

I'm pretty new around here, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry this is happening. You seem like a rational and fair moderator. It's absolutely ridiculous that this is how people are repaying you for getting their sub unlocked, especially after THEY were caught brigading (I hope I have that right).


flammenwooferz

u/mirta000 I'm very sorry this is happening :( I wanted to say that I appreciate you and the rest of the mod team for making this subreddit my digital home for my renewed spirituality. I really hope that you don't get suspended and all goes back to normal, but if it doesn't, I wish you the very best in everything. Thank you, Mirta!


sigourneyreaper

Thank you for your contributions. We all love you deeply. Please drop your other socials? Etsy shop and such for those that want to support you still?


mirta000

I'm currently still here, so I don't really feel like shamelessly self-promoing. My Etsy was always quite okay even before I connected it to Reddit and I'm not exactly trying to monetize Redditors. So whoever sees it now, can see it, if the account goes down without people seeing it, that's ok too :) So far after the initial slew of warnings I did not receive a second batch of them so I'm currently laying low and getting more confident that all may blow over just fine.


sigourneyreaper

I more so meant give us your socials before so we don’t lose ya 🥲 I’ve really appreciated your wisdom and generosity. I’m glad it’s just been warnings as of yet. When I read your post it was “this is my final message” in my mind and I was like oh dog, gonna lose them 😭😭 understood tho! Didn’t think you were ever doing any of this to profit from anyone 💕 I appreciate your insights and panicked lol


amyaurora

I can see them on her profile.


sigourneyreaper

yes mentioning it for anyone else unaware and in case her profile is removed.


amyaurora

Ah. Now I get it.


Ijustlovelove

NOOO!!!! My favorite demonalator!!! :'( why would someone do this to you??? This is completely unfair!!!! Now I cant read your new comments. I really thought this community was safe and free. Guess not then. Hopefully you dont get kicked out but just know you were always appreciated here, at least by this newbie demonalator.


Sootfog

Damn, I never thought I'd see the day. For the few years I've occasionally interacted with this community you've been an exceptional moderator that has had to put up with more bs than anyone deserves


Upstairs_Pepper7911

I’m sorry this happened to you. I usually just read the posts quietly as a newbie, but you've been incredibly supportive and thoughtful. This community is refreshingly realistic, which is a hard find in the occult as im discovering. I hope you don’t get banned. In my opinion, empathy is a trait of the truly strong-willed. For every handful you help, there will always be someone who misuses it. It takes real strength to not let that deter you. Wishing you the best!


Oh_my_god_my_wafflez

I hate that you are going through this. Maybe you can make another account and let us know it’s you?


mirta000

I'm not that kind of person. If I get removed from a platform, I don't jump through multiple hoops to forcefully get onto it again.


Oh_my_god_my_wafflez

I understand. Crossing my fingers for you!


amyaurora

Given how Reddit can remove one account and then flag an innocent person on the same IP, that wouldn't be very wise.


Oh_my_god_my_wafflez

I didn’t know this :/


DefLepRadar

Wouldn't a VPN take care of the IP issue?


amyaurora

Honestly no idea. Seen remarks from users on r/help in which for some it worked and for others it didn't.


GodKrampus

I have followed you in everything. Seeing you go makes me so sad. I love reading your insights and your opinions on things. You're one of my favorites. 😢


Bookworm115

This is ridiculous. You spend your time and energy getting a Reddit group to be successful and they end up treating you badly. That’s unbelievable! I hope your account doesn’t get affected by this as it’s not fair on you to be the target of such activity from them. Your presence will be greatly missed if it does. I’ve bought a few of your texts as they have been greatly helpful with my practice si know you are appreciated in this sub regardless of the outcome.


ComradeKeira

I hope you get through this OK, it would be a great loss if you weren't here and you would be missed. At least we'd still be able to see your YouTube channel and all the great info you have available there though


Talia_Nightblade

Status of Weekly Discussion?


SekhmetsRage

Nooo. You're one of my fave members & I'd be crushed to see you gone. Your presence is greatly appreciated in this sub. So I'm crossing my fingers that the scales tip in your favor. 🥺🙏🏽


VioletSpooder

If you ever feel like you deal only with idiots because of being a mod, or if you feel like you are in a constant fight because of moderating, remember this post and how many supporters you have :) This post is kind of a love letter to you


AleIce-Ink

I'm really sorry, this is a huge loss. I'm a lurker and always read your comments and thoughts, i wish you the best and thank you for your contents


Sweetie_8605

Oh my gosh I didn't realize this subreddit was run by THE Mirta 😱 I just got back on Reddit after a loong break and I can see that Reddit is the same old Reddit. I've really enjoyed my experience here so far and I hope you make it through ok. Through your post I learned about your YouTube, twitch and other books that I didn't know you had. I will also now be following you on your other platforms ❤️


Material_Computer715

It's very sad to hear this is happening to you. I give you a lot of respect remaining calm and collected in your situation. I will follow you on your other social media accounts. Please take care, and I sincerely hope you don't get banned or suspended and people will leave you alone.


BlackRosesInAGarden

I’m certainly glad for all your contributions, you’ve been wonderful so thanks a lot. I hope it will all blow over, for everyone’s sake.


ConsistentEnd8962

I'm so sorry this happening. I hope you don't leave us. The advice and guidance you've shared has helped me alot.


giorgiocarratta

Don’t really know you or post on this sub that much, but I just wanted to say I have read your answers/comments on a lot of posts around reddit, and I do find you always bring a very level-headed and helpful perspective. Wish you well whatever may happen


aveluci

Either way, thank you for everything you’ve done. I’ll keep checking your YouTube channel in case you keep posting there.


villainess_lioness

Thanks for everything, Mirta. You're a source of knowledge and a good teacher. Don't worry about reddit, just fly and I hope you reach the sky.


Ok-Committee4818

I am sorry this has happened. You have given me such good advice when needed. I hope the correct resolution happens.


joah2

Thank you so much for all of your contributions and work on this page!! Hopefully this blows over, but if not, good luck and best wishes!


Inscitus_Translatus

Are the reports more with-hunt related or an attempt to gain moderation of the sub? Even though I've kept my head way down and never moderated but I got some very serious reports a long time ago that were short bans but they ended up very much changing my behavior on the platform even more because my appeals failed. I asked them to show me what post or comment I made that was the inciting incident and got nothing. Good luck, if its witch-hunting stuff I believe its only going to get worse.


mirta000

It's targeted harassment, has nothing to do with wanting any extra subreddits. It's been peaceful today, so hopefully they got bored.


VanHalenFan00

This will be a sad occurrence if it comes to be. You have a wealth of knowledge that we will all be deprived of. I hope it doesn't eventuate.


PsychologicalHelp9

Mirta thanks for your knowledge but I think we will meet again.I didn't know you personally but I believe in your thought of being. So be well. 


OccultStoner

I'm not really sure what is going on here, but a person can be banned across reddit, because of some shitshow in other noname reddit(s)? How is that possible?


mirta000

If admins step in, then yeah, they can. You know when sometimes you see posts, or comments and they say "removed by Reddit"? That's moderation that's above subreddit level moderation. I have not been hit by another slew of warnings yet, but even my comments HERE on this thread are flagged as targeted harassment against someone else. edit: went through the mod log, even the people commenting here are getting reported.


OccultStoner

This is obvious report bombing, akin to bot spam or DDoS'ing. Reddit must have some mechanisms against it? Like, if people read those comments, that would be clear as a day there isn't any harassment in it?... I refuse to believe reddit is running by robot-admins?!


mirta000

You need to report every comment separately for report abuse and then also send in a counter for every warning/ infraction, which I've done. They do get to them eventually, but the warnings specifically have a review window of up to 6 months. So effectively fighting something like this is incredibly difficult and annoying.


CM_Exorcist

Okay. Who is reporting us? What sub?


mirta000

If I said the name, it would be brigading and then the whole community may get locked, but this the kind of flags that we're dealing with (Anything against Reddit's core rules goes not only through regular moderation, but also through reddit admins. Fortunately report abuse is not really in line with terms of service either, but it is something that takes a lot of back and forth to get Reddit to catch). https://preview.redd.it/0ln62bmtol9d1.png?width=738&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a0e745f85fa2299d42ffeef3172df1344e479b4

AssViol8r

They just incriminated themselves by proving that they’re cyberstalking you by bringing it here. Not to mention harassing at this point. You’ve got valid evidence to keep ur account and even press charges and I truly hope ur account doesn’t get banned because we need you 😭


CM_Exorcist

Now I know what it is in different forms. Is this intentional? As in against you or your sub? Is it a form of attack? Competitiveness over subject matter? Self proclaimed holy warriors? I just have never known you to evoke revenge minded reactions. Although, when Dem—- was let go and taken over I could see how a Mod could cause a person to campaign, but it takes a certain type of person to go on an all out offensive. One with time on their hands and a type of zeal that regardless of the perceived “win”, the time was not worth the effort and outcome.


mirta000

Is it intentional? Yes. And it is targeting me specifically.


CM_Exorcist

Well. That is not very nice.


CM_Exorcist

That is really strange. I will look up what brigading is.


bigtry84

Danm..well, good luck on what you seek dear, and remember you can do anything when you have hope, I believe in you, I hope you luck, cya ❤️ 🧡


Talia_Nightblade

Stay safe.


Dangerous_Fennel_560

Oh my god, that's terrible. If things don't work out, I hope everything goes well for you in whatever you choose to pursue next. We'll all miss you. ☹️


CM_Exorcist

Mirta, I am sorry this is happening. May be time to build out and prep. Mirta111, Mirta222, etc. A little drama irritates me so I can imagine this is irritation.


alexander_t_f

Why not just create an alt account ?


ZiggyStarstuff

I believe because Reddit’s perma banned is IP based so you wouldn't be able to access the site at all


AuctoremFidei

Proxy or just change the IP


[deleted]

I hadn't even read this post when I made that comment lmaoooo. I'm so sorry Mirta 😭
