Exposing The Tyrants Of r/stalker

Описание: A mini war broke out on the r/stalker subreddit after I made a few simple posts that followed the subreddit's rules, after which the sub's moderation team failed to communicate with me and tried to sweep it all under the rug.

TL;DR - At least one member of the r/stalker moderation team got offended over an internet meme that wasn't breaking any subreddit rules, and so they had at least two of my posts removed without giving a reason or explanation why. Furthermore, they had refused to communicate with me even after I had given them a full week to respond to my query. I was querying into which rules (if any) were broken, but they couldn't even answer that.

Everything that needed to be said has been included in this video. Please don't go spamming it in the subreddit or messaging hate to anyone. That isn't what this video is for. This video was made to inform people of my experience in this subreddit.

It seems that the moderation team has some agenda against these posts that I've made, as shown in the video. If that's truly the case, which it most likely is, then they themselves are breaking their own subreddit's rules, specifically rule 3 of their subreddit which mentions "orientation discrimination". Given the nature of the posts, one might have assumed I am gay which is certainly not the case. However, it's not like I'm straight either.

This video was made based on principle alone. Heaven forbid that the r/stalker moderation team took issue with more informative posts which might influence other users' decisions to purchase things. It's clear that this sort of thing has happened here before. I'm not exactly well-known, nor am I a large YouTube channel by any means, so there's no reason to credit or discredit my findings based on this alone. It's obvious that there's some poison in the well... Like I said, I know that they're memes, but again... principle!

Of course, I very much doubt that all members of the moderation team are responsible for what has happened here as that would just be plain silly. At least one user has to be responsible. I don't have any names to go off, so I don't have anyone specific to contact to query into what's happened. I'm not going to message seven or eight different users individually to find an answer as that would be a waste of time. Some members of the moderation team are employees at GSC Game World, the company behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. I'm hoping (like, really hoping) that one of these guys isn;t responsible for what;s happened. I dropped a message in their Mod Mail box, no one wanted to speak to me after a week... so, here's the video where I explain everything that's happened. It shows that they're actively choosing not to comminucate with me and hoping that I would just forget about it. At least someone would have seen my message within the week. Plus, it's extremely unfair to the moderators who have nothing to do with what's happened here. I get it; people take days off, get sick, have other stuff to do, etc., though a simple "oh, we're looking into it" would have sufficed.

I'm not looking to start any drama, divide people or single anyone out here. I simply made this video to detail my negative experiences as of late. Apart from everything that's been said in this video and the info above, there isn't really much more I can say on this. While I don't think it would achieve much, at least I can detail my experience on a platform that they don't have any control over, thus preventing whoever's responsible for this from trying to silence me any further.

Here's my full timeline of Reddit posts on my profile for reference. I never delete posts on Reddit after I've published them:

EDIT (29/10/2025): When I refer to "the moderation team" or "the r/stalker moderators" in relation to a couple of my posts being removed, I'm specifically talking about the moderator(s) responsible for said posts' removal.
