Another Mod Departure

Community,

It'd with a heavy heart that I must announce the departure of a beloved mod /u/CanUTasteTheWaste. While I never could taste the waste, I always felt confident that waste wad reliable and could help in a pinch. He was a long time mod who had stepped down once before. Then after the fundraiser scandal, I personally asked him to join the mod team to help Smooth things over during this transition.

We owe a lot to waste in coming back to help. I'm grateful and am happy irl had been good to waste and he is moving on. We hope he won't be a stranger sound here. I'm proud to say that with the new mod team we've been scandal free and it's been relatively calm and the sub. We've had a lot of drama before.

Waste we wish you the best. Please stick around. And please do adv AMA. And thank you for coming back at a time when the sub was in such upheaval.

Does anyone else find it weird all of these Mods. Just "stepped down" and the one mod that is a Fed is the one making the announcements? I think Econ is slowly raiding all other mods and this is a federal takeover!!!!!!

Well, that's pretty much it then. End of an era. Last mod to leave from the old r/silkroad.

All the best /u/CanUTasteTheWaste.

Haven't been here in a while but wtf is going on here anyway?

Mods flying out the window, being replaced by who knows who? Do we even have a list of known mods? Getting sketchy as all heck here... why?

We got mods (I've seen the guy with a mod tag a while ago) saying tumbling is useless and such:

Oh and get a load of this in the Noobs sub... you can't even ask the guy a question without getting a weird reply back.

26 day old account...What's that all about? Why is he even questioning something that has been widely accepted as good practice without offering an alternative?

Getting all sorts of these weird topics now that I'm scrolling through just seeing what's up in here. Safe to say anyone reading this post, keep your eyes out on any of the guides or the last change log date they undergo. Last thing you want is some rogue mod or whoever the hell runs this place now changing something in those guides for whatever reason. Likewise for whoever sees this post, but then doesn't(in case it gets deleted for whatever stupid reason someone conjures up) if they ever revisit this topic. So odd coming by to check this place out and seeing all this weird nonsense going on.

/u/theeconomist1 will Astrid ever be a mod here again? She was the best.


[2 Points] drugfreekid:

I have tears in my eyes, how many more departures do we need to have?

Thank you for all your work and I wish you the best in the future!

Never seen his presence personally but if he was a strong force behind the scenes he will be missed!


[1 Points] hhayn:

Are you going to hide his successor's identity from the community as well?

All the best!
