Taking an Indefinite Hiatus from r/ONDWW and r/ONMWW

Don't plan on seeing me ever again on here, after tonight. Long story short, but I raised concerns about a potential fake poster on ONDWW, because I discovered his pictures were posted all over the Internet on various websites. It turns out he's actually an actual model with a huge footprint on Twitter and various other blogs, which raised my suspicion. I informed the mods, and wanted to ensure the women on the sub were also not in danger of being contacted, so I advised a few to be careful of any interactions.

What I received was a scolding from the mods who defended this person's right to post and verified his authenticity, but also insulted because my concerns for others' safety on here were construed by the mod as an act of patronizing the women as being not intelligent enough to figure things out on their own and that I must feel they need a man to protect them.

I've never been so disheartened for doing something that I felt was the right thing in ensuring everyone's experience here was with safety first. I don't feel safe nor do I feel welcome here at all. It's funny how swiftly things on here change against your favor. It really showed me how little empathy and respect the people here on this sub have for me.
