This is the reason why even if reddit doesn't seem ideal now it is still superior to the typical forum with 1 signature occupying 80% of your screen that you have to read OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

And having to scroll through all the shitposts that are just there for +postcount and would have otherwise been downvoted if it was in reddit.

Yeap. This is the only statement you need: with the huge growth over the last years, reddit has reached that specific singularity point where it doesn't even know what are it's strong and weak points and the admins become retarded by 'dissociation'.

It's like the eternal september came and passed, a plethora of new commnuity identities was formed and the 'people in charge' cannot begin to understand how each niche sub-community works in order to better regulate them.

What are individual users supposed to do? I hate these bans, and don't have a clear idea why they are happening, other than some vague implications from /u/alienth . I'm not sure I'm buying that the admins cannot explain the bans due to privacy concerns.

What are we supposed to do? I feel rather powerless. I like what /r/dota2 was and don't want to see it go away, especially without an adequate explanation from the people messing with it.

[–]devilesk.com/dota2/apps/hero-calculator/devilesk 24 ポイント25 ポイント

What are we supposed to do? I feel rather powerless.

Post other people's shit? If /r/dota2 actually wants to see the content these people getting shadowbanned are posting, then it should be able to find its way onto reddit without them having to self post it.

[–]GraveSorrow 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It partially has to do with them posting their own content or content they're affiliated with, but there were shadowbans with upvote collusion as well.

I think it's good that they're stepping up and putting measures in place to ensure the content posted here isn't just for clicks. I mean, Cyborgmatt is a well-known guy and liked by many. Of course he's probably going to get free upvotes just for that, compared to some guy with 23 link karma and the average comment karma.

It'll fix itself at some point but it's a step in the right direction in my opinion. While I don't think everyone was breaking rules and needs to be shadowbanned or certain sites completely blocked from reddit, I do think it'd be nice to have interested viewers posting articles and news instead of the guys that actually wrote it or are involved with the site.

[–]LunaOnTheMoon 3 ポイント4 ポイント

they're stepping up and putting measures in place

These measures have been in place for at least a year, probably longer. This has happened on multiple subreddits I've been a part of. So it isn't that they are "taking a step in the right direction", it is them enforcing a rule that has been around for quite a long time.

[–]croder [score hidden]

A big problem I have is that it feels like they weren't warned before the ban.

If the admins warned them, then they would've started posting other things to follow that 1/10 bullshit. Or you know, matt couldve just tweeted that he can't post to his own website and someone else wouldve taken over. All of this drama wouldve been avoided pretty easily

"but there were shadowbans with upvote collusion as well."

Allegedly.

I have yet to see any actual proof of that being given.

[–]smodge13 0 ポイント1 ポイント

So instead of the content creator posting their own stuff up.

We're now going to have 5-10 people constantly watching for a new update and when it comes all will post a copy of the same thing, one of them by luck or clever use of bots will gain traction in the upvotes and the other 9 will be ignored.

I don't see why this new system is useful in any way, zero tolerance policies are often horrible things, if a user posting their own content becomes a problem deal with the individual and have the balls to explain why its OK for X to do the same, don't blanket ban the people that contribute and are overall a positive influence to the site.

[–]MMSTINGRAY 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Most of reddit works like this. It works fine and is actually why reddit got popular.

[–]kl4me -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

But aren't the admin supposed to ensure that users get what they want ? We shouldn't have to bypass a measure that we don't find fruitful.

[–]devilesk.com/dota2/apps/hero-calculator/devilesk 20 ポイント21 ポイント

People will still get what they want. It's just /r/dota2 users who don't go outside this subreddit who dont' know how reddit works blowing this out of proportion. Reddit functions by having people post things they find. You can't tell me that all these big content creators with thousands of followers are going to have a hard time getting their stuff on Reddit. All they have to do is post it to Twitter and it will find its way to Reddit.

And you can consider it an extra step, but it is a useful measure. The rule is in place for a reason and it needs to be enforced to protect the integrity of Reddit.

[–]ninja- 5 ポイント6 ポイント

This is a reasonable response. The problem, however, isn't that users are being shadow banned (which is fine and understandable), it's that domains are banned. So in your example, a post on the Ongamers domain wouldn't appear on reddit regardless of who posted it - this, obviously, deprives the community of potential quality content. Otherwise, the idea of banning a user for self promotion and voting fraud/rings is not terribly controversial.

[–]devilesk.com/dota2/apps/hero-calculator/devilesk 10 ポイント11 ポイント

onGamers fucked up and while it's probably a loss for the community I'm sure the dozen other Dota 2 news sites out there will pick up the slack and fill in the hole, eventually.

And you can still post yawngamers.com right?

[–]spacemanoncrack 0 ポイント1 ポイント

honestly ive been expecting this from ongamers, every single article finds it way to the frontpage in no time even though theres no comments and its a boring article. This happens in other subs aswell.

[–]Theexe1 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Exactly. People like Cyborgmatt are toxic, they are in it for the money. If its truly quality content there is no need to self promote/spam the subreddit.

I think people don't argue against them for their "veteran" like status for having 3000+ posts. I suppose the "veterans" just theorycraft and don't play the game often.

Yeah, there is clearly no way how the content of Ongamers and Dotacinema is good enough to get posted by regular users.

If not for the content creators, their content will never, ever hit reddit and therefor this subreddit is doomed to get robbed of its content.

Look at Nerf Now for example. Never in the history of this subreddit has a single comic been posted by someone other than the content creator himself. Shadow banning him clearly would rob this subreddit of Nerf Now comics.

Or just imagine if Valve employees would stop posting Patch Announcements minutes after they are released. We would have to wait hours or days before someone takes his time to check SteamDB or the dota2.blog and link it here.

Would you all please calm the fuck down? Yes, the bannings might be a little much right now and you don't have to agree with them. But there are rules & guidelines that are here to ensure good content.

If OnGamers releases a noteworthy article you can bet your sweet ass some unaffiliated user will post it to reddit minutes after its release.

If DotaCinema releases a good "Fails of the Week"-episode, it will be posted here.

And if you don't trust this community to do that fast enough: Subscribe to DotaCinema's channel or add OnGamers to your RSS-feed.

The league of legends subreddit manages with these rules why would not dota2?

When did self promoting become such a big issue on this sub? I've only been on here for half a year or so, but honestly I had no problem with it.

It has always been on reddit. It is alright to post your own content but you cannot exclusively do so.

They don't want reddit to be the place where bloggers post every new blog post and try to get big. And I know the counter argument is: "But that should not apply to the content I like", but rules should be the same for everyone really.

Reddits purpose has always been "post cool stuff you find on the Internet" and does anyone really think that if matt would post a patch note and did not submit it himself no one else would?

I prefer opening the reddit app on my tablet and have everything up to date, rather than opening twitter and scroll through tobi's drow crush, then gosugamers, teamliquid, joindota etc etc to know what's up.

Yep and plus I can't discuss and see discussion on twitter...

Use Feedly.com or an RSS Feed.

Content is still filtered by most recent and not by what's important, not to say that I'll have several articles that are essentially the same, just from different sources.

The problem with twitter is that it requires being on at the right time to see the post, or actively looking back through their timelines to see the relevant post. This board used to be a nice way of aggregating that content by popularity with discussions around each post.

TeamLiquid has a great Dota 2 (and more) community with a more traditional forums format.

That could be cool. Is rather see valve have some official ones though

You get banned when nine tenth of your post history is leading to a single site.

Think about that.

Look at Neils post history.

If the content is good, then it will get on here, even without the content creator advertising it every week.

[–]loegare[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Let to YouTube. I bet that happens to a lot of people

Because it's about Dota 2 stuff and that's why people go to Dota 2... To find Dota 2 content?

As long as the upvotes are not faked/bought I don't see the problem; People want to see the things, then let them. We don't need fucking admins/mods to tell us what content we want or don't, we have the vote system for that.

It isn't about "Dota 2 stuff" though, it's about his stuff specifically.

Or he could just buy advertising to post his stuff (i.e. how Reddit makes money), or he could just let other people post his stuff when they organically find his stuff.

They allow you to make 10% of your posts as self-promotion, his is 100%.
