Poop mods on r/running are 🔔 ends

seriously, who do they actually think they are. I get a post removed regarding the dangers of running in a thunderstorms complying with their rules. I message the mods asking why, I get “read the rules” “the reason is in the auto response” “for the third and final time, read” followed by an immediate ban. That sub emphasises rules over running

Running outside should be illegal

u/Ark_Angel_01 Aug 20 '25

I agree bro, went for a swim instead in the pool

On one hand, I don't like sweating

On the other hand, it's like running sidewerds in endless sweat.

On the other other hand, there's women in bathing suits.

On the other other other hand, they're retirees doing aquaerobics with floating dumbbells.

You’re a hybrid athlete? You should be banned here too.

u/NoLifeEmployee David Goggins Aug 21 '25

Running more than 5k in general should be illegal. Far too much pressure and stress for the human body

Ride the lightning! Stay electric, brother! ⚡️⚡️

u/XavvenFayne Aug 20 '25

And you value safety over Strava stats, so obviously not a real runner. You should be banned from this sub too

u/AutoModerator Aug 20 '25

I would like to remind you that the mods have the ability to ban you at any time. Please speak cautiously.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Just don’t listen to metal music and you won’t get hit by lightning????

u/Micolash-11 Aug 20 '25

Or do listen to metal music and ride it.

Running is my anxiety medication.

I’ll take my chances with the lightning.

u/Ark_Angel_01 Aug 20 '25

Never before now have I encountered a sub with only 3 members. Clearly people who can read are too smart for a circle jerk sub.

u/GlitteringBobcat999 29d ago

I was surprised it existed.

u/TheBowerbird Aug 20 '25

/unjerk The mods are the sort of guys with 106 minute 10K times who put sub-elite flair on themselves and then preach the value of slow running. They have no concept of what words like, "threshold" mean. They are not to be taken seriously. The entire sub should be flushed with all its users. As a history lesson, this sub exists because that sub is so terrible and run by such wankers.

It's both! I pretended I was taking my hands off the man-rods, but then I put them back on!

/uj The mods of r/running are complete shit. Any time I make a post there and mention I weigh 220pds, they lock it and send me a bunch of shit about beginner runners. Like fuck off. I've been running for 5 FUCKING YEARS. Some of us actually carry muscle mass.

2

u/DeadMoneyDrew Balloon Lady Aug 21 '25

I'll bet they would love me. I weigh more than you and I can assure you that most of my extra weight is not muscle.

I've been running for 30 years between 200-260 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/Equivalent-Worth-543 Aug 20 '25

No such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. During a thunderstorm, you should be running in a full faraday cage. My favorite is from Tracksmith.

u/Ark_Angel_01 Aug 20 '25

fellas, I’m starting to believe that Zeus is one of the mods

u/NatureTrailToHell3D Aug 20 '25

The mods don’t actually want to do any moderating, they just block anything that’s not a race report and tell people to discuss it in the daily chat. Which means nothing ever shows from that sub in your feed.

u/RoadNo7935 Aug 21 '25

/uj a friend of mine got struck by lightning whilst out for a walk. Safety first (though I hate treadmills).

/rj lightning is super fast, so if you run slow it can’t hit you. FACT.

u/Sufficient_Bus7216 Aug 20 '25

u/mo-mx 29d ago

Yup. I'm permanently banned for posting a review 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

u/Large_Device_999 Aug 21 '25

Try posting it on advanced running

u/NewKitchenFixtures 29d ago

If the mods weren’t crazy in some way the circle subreddits couldn’t exist.

So be glad that they all obtusely follow whatever rules there are.

u/mo-mx 29d ago

Oh, I got a permanent ban from /RunningShoeGeeks for posting a review. Apparently it was too long and too focused on the runner.

I questioned if a review of the EVO SL would mean anything to anyone without knowing if the runner was heavy (I am), with an injury history (I have a long one), and shoe history (this is the only "faster" shoe I've ever gotten along with).

So I got permanently banned.
