Choice paralysis sucks. So why not toss on 8 sides of live shit that will take the whole evening #vinylsky #nowspinning

couldn't say. I don't exactly frequent the place lol

but they have rules that can be very subjective to enforce - no tribalism, but criticism is encouraged. the two often overlap in my experience which leaves a lot of leeway for selective bans

"Abusing powers" is very relative on Reddit though. Mods are free to ban people for any reason that isn't religion/race/other protected status.

The trouble comes with not moderating according to the rules you set. Like "no trolling" but only banning people arguing on one side. That's Mod CoC rule 2

- less civil patrol because it's become more clandestine, which leads to

- less visibility & reporting while people are still disappearing

a few hotel employees have verified no canceling of reservations, some extending through may

so you may not have heard much since the announcement to the "end" of Operation Metro Surge

- they're seeking out teenagers & kids to get into secure buildings

- they've been playing "my car broke down" to lure people out of homes

- new cars arriving at Whipple daily

midcarder is what happens when SCJerk denizens decide the sub is too CNN and they need to build a Fox News

I think a lot of the folks who start up the new "rogue state" subs don't realize what they're getting into in terms of making sure the sub stays within Reddit TOS and they don't get burned for Mod Code of Conduct letting shit fly that they shouldn't.

That's how many older subs ended up banned

it's astounding how much brigading for rage bait goes on in all of the wrestling subs. we have some tools we use to monitor for good faith discussions. it should be easy for those smaller subs to stomp it due to their size.

but like... look at the crazy volume SC gets.

I'm kinda responsible for the creation of RealSC. Banned a guy who freaked out on a whole new level. Last I looked at it, the gooners were taking over

Wrasslin is an absolute DISASTER and honestly we just barely hold it together. It's supposed to be a place for memes and shitposting...

SC I can't give away too much or people will work around it, but we recently have had massive success with smashing a certain toxicity. Always a work in progress

HOW DARE YOU NOT ALLOW EVERYONE TO EXPRESS THEIR DESIRES FOR DEATH BY SNU SNU

I TOOK COURSES AND HEALED TRAUMAS

Dude was disappointed (spelled wrong) at the lack of Futurama GIFs on the thread, referring to "death by snu snu". He was told they're not allowed because the subreddit rules don't allow for sexualizing wrestlers. Dude responded with some absolute nonsense about having run trauma courses for women and being active in queer spaces. I responded laughing my ass off because it is the dumbest shit I have ever heard

after 2+ years of trying to manage them with rules and hyper-enforcement, upvote-hiding, etc. it came down to a drunk Discord "why don't we just lock them lol"

the new hotness is eradicating the "but this sub said blah blah" toxic discourse... work in progress

this is 100% why we decided to lock all ratings discussion on r/squaredcircle - between the Nielsen "refresh" of weirdness + the absence of streaming numbers, the threads became completely useless and only served for people who wanted to dunk on (irrational) numbers

they literally snatched & flew a legal immigrant eyewitness immediately to Texas to try and keep them from countering the official ICE narrative

great that these two officers are facing perjury charges but like

I'm not the biggest Frey fan by any stretch but I appreciate his messaging here.

We're not doing victory laps. We're skeptical. It ain't over 'til it's over. But hopefully our community inspires any other target of Trump's temper tantrums to stand up for what is right.
