Complaints

Community,

Holy shit-storm. I went away on a little pleasurable getaway and come back to a shit storm it seems! I'm trying to get a handle on everything at the moment. I had a bunch of PMs with some complaints which I'm sure are obvious at this point. I will be reviewing everything, working with the mod team, and see what the heck is going on. I know there were a lot of passionate and spirited thoughts on the matter and will be looking at things.

Keeping in mind that I haven't seen much at the moment, here are some things to keep in context:

I've made mistakes modding as well in many different forms. Modding this sub takes practice and time. Learning is key. Let me look into this and see what the fuck is going on. Rest assured, I am looking through all the PMs I have received and will reply back as soon as I can. I'm going to work with the team and see what is going on.

Angel should just admit it's her. There is no doubt. Anyone else notice how she types "LoL" rather specifically?

Look at /u/MDMANGEL post history, you'll see the same "LoL".

edit: "HaHa" as well. I took snapshots juuuuuust in case she goes to scrub it.

In my defense, I was only advocating for covering all bases.

I just spoke up to say that a moderator should not encourage skipping the process of tumbling.

Cover all bases, safety is highly important, and this is why we practice OPSEC.

I cannot tolerate anyone who advocates for loose OPSEC, especially when they are given legitimacy by being in a position of power among this community.

Edit: This

Holy shit-storm.

Only way to describe this debacle.

I'll leave this here

Again, I'm not bashing the character of a person you have chosen to direct this community, but I think mods should encourage the covering of all bases.

TIL That mods are people too

Vendors still aren't people though. We're robots. /s

Mods here are not necessarily experts. Mods are chosen for a variety of reasons. The mods' primary job is to help curate the sub and moderate/facilitate discussion. There are some mods who have expertise in a particular area, but do not assume just because someone is a mod that their opinion should have more weight than someone else in the community. Again, one aspect of modding is really balancing this tricky area - unfortunately, the "mod" title will unfortunately confer more weight just on virtue of the role. I had to learn how to balance this and make sure that anything I posted in the community was understood that it was simply my thoughts and/or opinion unless I specifically said I had experience or expertise in that area. Newer mods are often unaware of this and posts that would have been perfectly valid as a community member needs to be approached a bit differently.

Unfortunately, (and it'll be proved by reading her post), she didn't bring up a discussion topic. Nowhere was it an opinion. Every line she wrote in her post is "Don't Tumble. It's useless." Even though DOZENS of users have refuted every one of her INCORRECT and MISINFORMED points.

This is in direct conflict of the sub's purpose- to educate and promote safety. Someone doing that should not be in a position of power on this sub.

Glad your well rested. Sorry in advance for your coming home to this mess and particularly for any part I played in feeding the fire.

That said, eager hear what your thoughts are. Based on the totality of prior and present circumstances, I am not expecting much in the way of vindication. Then again, you're the pragmatic one so.. who knows?
