New Mod Announcement (and maybe a slightly smaller one)

As some may have noticed we have a new mod /u/cidilicious. You'll notice this is obviously a new alt account for anonymity purposes. Cid has been vetted by the mod team and chosen because we felt he would provide a valuable service to this community.

We don't take mod additions lightly and this has been something that has taken quite a bit of time. Several other candidates have been discussed but cid proved to be the top (actually no one else wanted to put up with you fucks). Kidding of course...

Anyways, you'll just have to understand that folks like to stay anonymous in these kinds of things. Many previous mods did the same and I always suggest making an alt. I didn't because I really like me, haha.

Cid has proved to be a big help these last few days, especially taking up some of the slack we've put on /u/2cblover. He's held this place together for bit now.

As for the state of the sub, Econ is going to handle that soon. We're always in contact and have some great plans coming up!

Now for the slightly smaller announcement: I'll be quitting the modteam effective immediately after this post. I'll still be around for a bit for questions then I'm off for a little rest and getting IRL things together. I'm always here for the current and future mod teams. I love this community and wish I could do more, but a solid plan is in the works and you'll love it.

Beware of those that would do harm to this community...

Thanks for your time in here u/samwhiskey. Don't wander to far from us.

Thank you Sam. I'm going to miss you and know the community well as well. You totally need to do an AMA!!


[6 Points] IGetDankShit:

Thanks for your work Sam and Good luck /u/cidilicious. Would you consider doing an AMAA?

Looking forward to the upcoming state of the sub post.


[6 Points] trynakick:

I'm really ambivalent about the mods with new handles. We as users of this sub can't vet who they were before, and anyone who should be able to be a competent mod should have been practicing sufficient NETSEC that their reddit pseudonym is totally disconnected from their doxx.

I understand why people would do it, if I was asked to mod people would dig through my post history and know my DOC and see my previous reviews, but we do value transparency on this sub, so new handles for mods is a bit frustrating, even if I can imagine why.


[6 Points] jigglyjk:

Bye, /u/samwhiskey. Thanks for everything you've done to keep this place great!


[6 Points] drimilr:

I didn't because I really like me

I like you too! Thanks for stepping up to mod. Good luck on IRL stuff :)

So how much is the FBI paying you guys to add a new agent to the mod team?

/u/samwiskey, I have enjoyed your presence and your stories with your lady. Great job with keeping things orderly around here.

God anyone who mods here deserves a medal, but a special, shiny medal that you can use to buy any drugs you like from a market of your choice. It's a thankless and tiring task sitting here reading an endless stream of monotony and idiocy - of that I have no doubt.

So huge thanks to Sam and enjoy, Cidilicious.

And indeed, beware those who wish to do harm to the community. If every user here helped with one Opsec-related question and one drug safety issue each time they logged on, we wouldn't really even need to rely on the mod team so much.

That's not very small! You're always quite modest. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

zero of the originals from beginning of SR time run this thing anymore. the most trustworthy are ones who have been on after SR1 bust or much later. much trust


[1 Points] free-agent:

I don't really care about politics, but it's good too see we haven't been infiltrated yet.


[1 Points] None:

Welcome and goodbye. Thanks


[1 Points] ciphersexual:
