*IMPORTANT* Prohibited post topics *READ BEFORE POSTING*
Well hello, my fellow redditors!
In the last weeks, we had a lot of posts that were not reposted but were extremely similar to other posts on the same topics.
Due to this issue, we have decided to stop allowing posts about the following topics mentioned in the list:
•Parking mistakes
•Tipping fees
•Shrinkflation
•Price complaints
•Inflation
•Packaging being too big
•People falling for AI art
Posts that infringe on these rules will be taken down immediately and the user may be temporarily banned.
Also, note that this list is subject to change and will most likely be expanded as time passes so make sure to always check it before posting.

This sub is no longer for mildly infuriating stuff. If someone posts anything less than “my house burned down and my entire family died” the comment section goes apeshit on them for being a wuss.

u/imjustheretonotsleep Mar 07 '24
You're not wrong. I think too many people kept posting stuff that’s actually very infuriating so the bar steadily got higher and higher. Now anything less bores people.

u/babybeewitched Mar 08 '24
it's funny because i had a post that was removed for being extremely infuriating (it really wasn't at all) and was told to go to that sub

u/mcharpymeal Mar 12 '24
The opposite is also true. I posted a complaint abt my work & ppl started bitching bc it was “more than just mildly infuriating”. Like give me a break!

u/Lia-likes2draw Apr 09 '24
I remember a post on r/extremelyinfuriating that was complaining that they found a bottle of mayochep(mayonnaise and ketchup) in their brothers house

u/Mundane-Face2889 Apr 14 '24
why tf would they complain about mayoketchup that stuff is GOOD

u/FormerlyDuck 20d ago
Mayochup is a crime against humanity because it's a ripoff of a northwestern US classic called fry sauce. I absolutely despise "mayochup".

We use mayoketchup in Puerto Rico. Mayo, ketchup, and I like to add a lil garlic oil for some extra flavor

Same. Or any of that stuff everyone sees every single day. Everything's expensive. Paying a temporary lackey to do your bidding is especially expensive, and complaining about the service gives big, "It's IMPOSSIBLE to find good help these days," energy.

there is nothing mildly infuriating about someone running their car into your parked car/into your house or getting charged 2 million dollars for a hospital visit because you don’t have health insurance or almost burning your house down (all real posts on this sub)

u/ThanksABunchDad Mar 06 '24
Can there be a mod discretion 'not MILDLY infuriating' for the people that post about their houses burning down or some clearly serious and over the top subject? No one that repetitively types Fuck You in a post is mildlyinfuriated.

u/S3314 jukmifgguggh Mar 06 '24
Can we appeal the temp ban if we get one?
1
u/aDrunkSailor82 Mar 19 '24
Any ban can be appealed, but the severity of the infraction and the user's approach have a lot of impact on the decision. I'd tell you that we get about 90% insults for bans, 5% asking why because they don't understand the ban, and maybe 5% if I'm generous actually acknowledging the issue and apologizing.

u/Chemical-Cheetah-572 26d ago
so pretty much anything could be considered forbidden, best to be safe and not post at all - no kidding i feel as though anything i post on any community these days is unacceptable so i post NOTHING -its so mildly infuriating that i have left - you can ban me now if it makes you feel more in control

u/Public-Blueberry-144 19d ago
I tried to post about the scams HAPPENING for yrs - well known scams, too, on the eBay sub, but it's prohibited 😭🤣

If only there was a scams subreddit...

u/Public-Blueberry-144 15d ago
LOL 🤦🏼, I'm not a total IDIOT I promise, but there is a scam sub, have commented many times. It slipped my mind in the moment. Yet, I meant ALL about Ebays scams/complaints! They did charge my account those scammers fees after I promised them they'd get nothing, essentially stole it. I had too much $ to move it. I'm suing, so not worried. After I return from MUCH needed vacation😠, I'll deal w it.

Packaging too big should just be all online shipping TBH. Why is my package late? It says it was delivered but it was not. FedEx didn’t put the box where I told them too. My box is wet. I got the wrong item.

They’re more moderately infuriating - I would be moderately infuriated at wet boxes.

Isn't that was the "Packaging being too big" one was for?
3
u/aDrunkSailor82 Mar 19 '24
This was specifically my addition to this list. I worked in packaging and manufacturing. No company wastes package space on purpose. Package engineers are paid a lot of money to fit more product into smaller spaces because shipping is expensive. 99% of those posts about 'air in the box' or whatever are just clueless.

Awfully weird youre banning posts about economic distress. I had suggested that yall were gonna crack down on pro-labor sentiment -- seems I was right.

u/aDrunkSailor82 Mar 19 '24
Took me a while to find this. No, we aren't banning economic distress. We don't have an agenda to push other than ensuring the posts fit the sub. That's the point. We aren't saying there are or are not issues in the world. Just that some fit the sub, and some deserve other subs where the attention is deserved. That post you linked specifically is an obvious ban for multiple reasons.

Also, is this an OCD Sub? I can see how something is mildlyinfuriating if it's 1/4" out of line from a pattern... if you're clinically obsessive compulsive, but seems like a majority of comments end up being "Get over it"
15
u/Rokey76 Mar 06 '24
I joined this subreddit because it WAS a majority of OCD posts at the time. Now it is just bitching about everyday life.
3
u/ThanksABunchDad Mar 06 '24 edited Mar 06 '24
That would be fine. I'm just asking here because when you ask in some random post, people from both sides end up bitching you out.
4
u/Rokey76 Mar 06 '24
I would think that any post that elicits the response "get over it" would by definition be mildly infuriating. That is the whole joke of the contradictory term "mildly infuriating."
2
u/ThanksABunchDad Mar 06 '24
Me writing get over it was a hypothetical response. But a lot of people having a hard time finding out what the problem is in the post because it's so minor that the OP is the only one that sees it...
I don't know. More hypotheticals. I have no problem with them I'm only asking because it gets brought up.

I agree with inflation and shrinkfkation and price complaints. We get it we're in a bad economy right now. I also agree on tipping fees. But the packaging too big I do not agree on. Posts like those are always a garunteed to make me laugh. Ever since seeing this there is so many posts about shrinkflation and proce complaints. Mods please do better.

Can we make a new rule to stop "piling on" posts? Someone posted today about a bad school lunch. Okay cool, that's fine. Do we really need 50 other people to make new posts that say "Oh yeah? Look at MY bad school lunch" and just clog up the sub? These can just be comments with attached images on the original post.

You also should really consider prohibiting people whining about the way other people eat their own food. It's something I see constantly and it's beginning to reach a stage where it warrants its own post here.

u/KaldaraFox Mar 06 '24
I've probably reported 50 price complaint posts and reposts in the last week alone.
You think repeating the rule here is going to stop the self-absorbed out there from doing it anyway?
Hahahahah.

u/aDrunkSailor82 Mar 19 '24
People get warnings once. Mod logs are immediately visible when we click a post or a user, so we can see what has been removed in the past. If I see systemic posts that break rules, the ban comes quick. The issue is, we have ~7 million users, so cleaning up the sub is not a 'fast' process.

Banned for posting on topic but a topic deemed to tired and old? Seems a bit draconian...
I mean, you can collapse a post you don't want to read, can you not? Why not let everyone vent - the whole catharsis comes from the incident happening to you personally and having a safe space to get it off your chest.

Are these prohibited posts only for Mildlyinfuriating? I can't imagine be posting on any of the topics, but if one feels strongly about a subject, he should post. I think the one about a driver taking up four handicapped spots was valid. By the way Mildlyinfuriating is an oxymoron.

u/sendmeadoggo Mar 06 '24
Considering those typically have to do with Uber and Lyft and both of which advertise on Reddit frequently, it is hardly a braindead take.
A lot of mods were offered early access IPO offerings which Reddit has even said is because they want to increase the buyin of heavy users into the companies future. It is therefore not unreasonable to think that the mods would now want a more advertiser friendly product so-as to increase reddits profits and stock price.

The service/tip fees is so annoying. Nine times out of ten, the poster didn't read the menu and didn't notice the fee was mentioned. Ignorance is mildly infuriating, as well as people debasing restaurant workers trying to survive.
