inAppreciation post: the Discord mod who actually undid my ban after I sent one message
Honestly Marcus sounds nice but this is how it SHOULD work, its not some rare act of kindness. Mod mail exists for a reason and reading it is part of the job, not a favor. Most mods just dont bother because theyre burnt out or power tripping on a 12k server where nobody knows their name. The real problem is the bot rule itself, if a 3 link limit auto bans people with zero warning then the whole setup is broken and Marcus just patched one hole in a dam full of them.

inchatting with a stranger made me ditch my air fryer cookbook
That bit about the neighbor telling you to stop following the package times is so real. I had the same thing happen with chicken thighs, the bag said 25 minutes at 400 and they always came out dry and sad. My brother in law grabbed the basket, said just go 380 and flip them halfway, and they were juicy for the first time ever. I've been writing my own little times on a sticky note on the fridge since then and it beats every cookbook I own.

inPro tip: my router logged 4,300 login attempts in one week and I finally get why the default password advice is not enough
Did you ever double check that the failed logins were actually coming from outside and not just your own devices bugging out? In my experience a lot of those scary looking numbers end up being a smart TV or printer retrying the same bad password over and over. Not saying remote access isn't worth killing, cause it is, but the whole "14 countries" thing can be a little misleading.
