In the screenshot above, it appears that cologetmomo has made some unfortunate remarks and inaccuracies regarding a deceased individual. Notably, this was shared on the first anniversary of Gary’s passing, and the use of a profile picture of Gary may suggest a lack of respect and professionalism.
Additionally, Gary Donaldson was a vietnam veteran. Dr. Mark McMurtry is also a vietnam veteran. Douglas Gross, who was disrespected by cologetmomo, is a world war 2 veteran. It is extremely inappropriate and distressing to their families when someone engages in online attacks against these people, especially since 2 of them are now deceased.
What kind of person abuses deceased war veterans?
Please observe that cologetmoo is expressing that he/she was ‘being professional and well-written,’ yet it appears in the meme below that this may not reflect the whole truth.
It appears that cologetmomo has been involved in the creation of harassment subs that have been banned, and then responds by making memes that some may view as disrespectful, while expressing a different perspective to the public.
For these reasons, we feel it is best to distance ourselves from this individual, and it seems that ignoring them has led to an increase in negativity. We have chosen to document this situation here so that we can move forward in our lives and focus on the positive contributions of good people.
August 27th in r/microgrowery, cologetmomo is guilty of site following, harassment and basically just causing drama as well as slander.
August 28th 2024, depsite telling other that we are harassing cologetmomo, making threats and doxing, it is cologetmomo that is sending us messages and we keep ignoring them.
The mod for r/microgrowery is now involved with repeating the slanderous claims and has zero evidence at all.
The moderator’s response “I really don’t care about the drama that is going on in your sub” appears to be dismissive and unprofessional. Moderators are expected to manage their communities in good faith and address user concerns appropriately.
By dismissing the report of harassment without investigating, the moderator may be neglecting their duty to maintain a safe environment free from harassment and bullying.
The moderator’s false claim that the user has alt accounts could be considered a form of harassment or bullying itself.
Reddit’s policy encourages moderators to take user reports seriously and investigate claims of harassment or rule-breaking behavior. Mishandling reports is a moderator violation.
The moderator’s dismissive attitude goes against Reddit’s core principle of treating others with respect and remembering there’s a human on the other side of the screen.
While moderators have significant autonomy in managing their subreddits, they are still expected to adhere to Reddit’s overall policies and guidelines.
August 29th 2024 in r/tech, and since the sub that was used to target and harass us was banned, he/she has created another sub and is back to creating drama and trying to rally other users against us but play the victim and tell others we harass them.
r/iavs was banned for moderator misconduct. Any moderator of a sub that allows harassment , bullying or slander will face the same outcome. We refuse to bow down to bullies, to slanderers and those in the fertilizer industry that have profit margins to protect, the same goes for over-priced aquaponics courses and supplements. We refuse to be bullied by so-called aquaponic experts that have profit as their true motive.
Reddit admins please take note of the following breaches;
Rule 1: Remember the Human
- Harassment: Cologetmomo may have engaged in harassment, bullying, or threatening behavior towards other users. This includes following users around Reddit, making false accusations, and attempting to derail discussions.
Rule 2: Abide by Community Rules
- Content Manipulation: They may have posted inauthentic content, engaged in content manipulation, or disrupted Reddit communities.
Rule 3: Respect the Privacy of Others
- Privacy Violations: Cologetmomo might have revealed personal or confidential information about others, instigating harassment.
Rule 5: Impersonation
- Disrespectful Behavior: Using an image of a deceased person as a profile picture, especially on the anniversary of their death, could be seen as a form of impersonation or at least highly disrespectful behavior.
Rule 6: Proper Labeling of Content
- Labeling Issues: Cologetmomo might have failed to properly label graphic, sexually-explicit, or offensive content.
Additional Violations
- Reddiquette Violations: They may have disregarded informal Reddit etiquette guidelines, such as being respectful in interactions or avoiding reposting content.
- Subreddit-Specific Rule Violations: Cologetmomo might have broken rules specific to particular subreddits they participated in.
- Spreading Misinformation: Making false accusations about threats, impersonation, and financial motives goes against the principle of posting authentic content.
- Brigading: Coordinating with other users to target specific individuals or communities is against Reddit’s rules.
- Evading Bans: Setting up a new subreddit immediately after the previous one was banned for harassment could be seen as an attempt to circumvent Reddit’s enforcement actions.
In closing we would like to share the thoughts from another reddit user that had witnessed a lot of this harassment from cologetmomo;
Cologetmomo has harassed, bullied and slandered us since December 2023 and he/she works in co-operation with Steve Raisner, as you can see his history in this post, together they co-ordinated targeted harassment over many sub reddits, consistently.
Please contact us at iavs.info if you have more questions or require screenshots and links, as we have documented all of them.
Thank you for your patience and support.
