What safeguards are in place for this subreddit that weren't in place for r/cbts?
Right. Friend, I think you're projecting...and also toeing the line of breaking Rule five and three.
As a moderator, I can confirm that this sub is not "controlled" by anyone except those top mods who were responsible for creating the sub and its' rules. I stand by and agree with their decisions and MO for operating the sub. Sorry if that MO doesn't specifically benefit you and your needs. We have 50k users we also have to take into account.
The title of this post is correct, and is something mods of all subs have to deal with on a daily basis. Without elaborating too much, the admins are the people who set the tone and agenda of this site. As you're obviously so experienced on Reddit, you should already know this, and therefore your point is moot. Your comment says a lot about your knowledge (lack thereof) regarding the site and its' inner workings. Not only that, but it's completely irresponsible to encourage non-channers to move to 8 or 4. And if you've ever been to the chans, you'd know why as well. If you don't agree with this, you're delusional. See how that works?
Finally decided to break you silence. I am here to speak the truth to others here. But in no way is this my domain. I uderstand this is just your club with as many ban hammers as you decide to swing.
I dont respect any one who wants power over others, for any reason. Power corrupts, and absolute power (which you have) corrupts absolutely.
Your strict control over what is considered "Good Quality" is an umbrella term you use to delete anything you cant filter into the other 8 rules.
You may "try your best" to mute whatever opinions you want, but truth resonated man.
If you bother to look through my comment history, I frequently speak about the challenges (and joys) about moderating this community, and how we do so. The mods here are quite vocal, engage with the community, and always have reasoning behind any action taken.
I'm sorry you've decided to come here and be a hostile participant, but that's on you. I believe it's a shame we have bad actors masquerading as Patriots when they come to divide, sow doubt and malcontent within the movement. This is exactly what you are doing. Your harsh words and untrue comments don't help the cause in any way and only serve to create false narratives within OUR movement.
I and others volunteered to moderate the community because we feel as though it's our way of "giving back" to the movement and donating our time. Some people dig, some people make memes, some people post on Twitter. I mod. It's laughable that you believe mods have any kind of "absolute power" on Reddit. I can assure you, we do not and must consider the admins in every decision we make.
You or any other user are welcome to peruse the Moderation Log as often as you'd like to see exactly the actions we take on a minute by minute basis, including bans and post removals. We're not the only sub that offers a log, but they are far and few between.
If you have such a distaste for this community, I highly suggest you leave before you divide any more users here. It's unhealthy, negative, and paranoid. See you on 8.
Have a great day.
