Mods, you might want to help

So there are mods you (or others) might want to help? (That's honestly how I read the thread title, and I wondered what in the world the thread could be about.) :)
You are correct. There should be a comma after "mods". It's called the "vocative" comma and it's used when addressing someone directly to distinguish between the OP's intended meaning and the meaning described above.

I have edited the title of this thread to reflect proper punctuation usage and intended meaning.

I'm really not into grammar Nazi stuff. The thread served its purpose within seconds of making it.

I kind of think pointing out grammatical errors in readable text is a pretty big social faux pas these days. You never know why someone might be making them. And it's only ever one demographic who finds great pleasure in highlighting it

It wasn't "grammar Nazi stuff". (That's a fairly strong accusation.) You wrote "You never know why someone might be making them." But I explained why I made the comment I made:

"So there are mods you (or others) might want to help? (That's honestly how I read the thread title, and I wondered what in the world the thread could be about.) :) "

I even clicked on the link provided in the original post not because I was curious about someone who needed the help of the mods but to see what a reddit post could possibly have to do with a polyamory.com mod who needed our help.

Now that the title is fixed (thanks, ref2018), others won't wonder why there are polyamory.com mods you (or others) might want to help. But I'm confident they will be either amused (as I am) or annoyed (as you seem to be) by the discussion here.

Let's agree to end the discussion about punctuation here and let your thread serve its intended purpose of drawing attention to the reddit poster, shall we, SEASONEDpolyAgain?
 
I see that my proposal to end the discussion wasn't accepted. Also, it's probably obvious by now that I'm not a "normal" member. 🤣
 
Grammar matters. "This panda eats, shoots and leaves," is entirely different from "this panda eats shoots and leaves."

As a mod, I was confused as to which mod at polyamory.com needed help. So, I am gathering a reddit thread might need "help" from me, ref or Evie?

I never go to reddit.
 
I went to Reddit, I contacted the op over there, and I have had no reply at all.

I believe we're done here.

Thread locked.
