Ohhhh Boy!

If this is true then The Techno-pocalypse just went full Techno-prolapse!

[–]609kylec00per 12 ポイント13 ポイント

It's true, many people saw it before he edited it twice then removed it.

[–]BlackCaaaaat 24 ポイント25 ポイント

This drama just never ends, the popcorn just goes on and on my friends ...

[–]Barl0we 52 ポイント53 ポイント

We can keep repleneshing our popcorn supply. We can rebuild it.

We have the /r/technology.

[–]Kickass_Cajun 18 ポイント19 ポイント

Hard to enjoy the popcorn when all the srd threads are filled with the same people that are crying over in /r/technology.

[–]kairoszoe 13 ポイント14 ポイント

I just treat it as a double feature. I'm not going to be able to have a conversation free of r/technology culture but I am going to have two different threads (sometimes with different outcomes) to laugh at, one of which I can piss in the popcorn for.

[–]FlipHorrorshow 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Going to be a triple feature when the shadowban drama hits.

[–]lifestyled 11 ポイント12 ポイント

That's cause Snitchbot keeps telling them whenever we've linked, so they come here expecting praise and admiration.

[–]YeastOfBuccaFlats 2 ポイント3 ポイント

We should send you to China so they can help flush the Yellow River and maybe even make it to the ocean

[–]ewbrower 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I agree. I am not here to argue about the state of a default sub. I'm here to read the name-calling and other childish behavior in these arguments, without seeing those same redditors show up here.

This is not cool. Even if we do agree. It's like reverse popcorn pissing.

[–]dumnezero 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It's like watching the making of, with all the cast and crew

[–]BlackCaaaaat 18 ポイント19 ポイント

That /r/new queue was looking like a downvote wasteland when I looked at it about 14 hours ago, but those posts appear to be gone. Did they all get nuked?

[–]ifonefox 25 ポイント26 ポイント

No, they just have so many downvotes that reddit hides them from you.

[–]lifestyled 16 ポイント17 ポイント

Still nuked. Only one submission on their front page that isn't 16 hours old, and it is already negative. What's funnier, is /u/creq submitted a bunch of stuff today (check out his history) to /r/technology, and all of that is downvoted to the double digits.

I just finished watching Extreme Rules and now it's like a post-show here watching /u/creq and this anti-mod brigade fight in a handicap match with no stipulations for winning.

[–]strolls 7 ポイント8 ポイント

This is it now, with the "don't hide links" thing enabled.

Everything's getting downvoted to double-digits within minutes of posting.

[–]Werner__Herzog 4 ポイント5 ポイント

This has to be the fanciest screen-shot I've ever seen. Did you add the shadow effect or was that done automatically?

[–]strolls 4 ポイント5 ポイント

It's a Mac thing - it's actually right annoying because you have to crop out the shadow manually if you don't want it (which is usually, when I actually care one way or the other).

[–]Caethy 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Open up the terminal.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true Only works after a restart, or resetting the UIServer manually
killall SystemUIServer

[–]strolls 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Oooh, many thanks.

[–]macarthur_park 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Adding to /u/Caethy, shift+command+4 lets you manually select a region to take a screenshot, and doesn't add in the shadow effect.

[–]BlackCaaaaat 3 ポイント4 ポイント

How is this happening without the admins going on a shadowban spree?

[–]strolls 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Because Without their Permission is a founding principle of this site.

[–]dumnezero 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Still all zeros in /new.

Some people think that it's only something that happens from the top down, but censorship is still censorship when a mob does it

[–]GodOfAtheism 4 ポイント5 ポイント

It's totes not censorship, they're just protesting. /s

Tokkul why is this your thing recently

[–]cramin2 47 ポイント48 ポイント

This is the greatest dramawave yet in my mind because I don't want to take sides. /r/atheism vs. /u/jij was hilarious, but it was too easy side with jij. Same with /r/conspiracy vs. /u/solidwhetstone, it was just a bunch of people overreacting, but /r/conspiracy had to assume he was "working with the enemy", and it's pretty hard to side with them there. Then /r/xkcd vs. /u/Flytape was great, but I was pretty invested in it as a (now former) subscriber of /r/xkcd.

Now I'm unsubscribed from /r/technology, so I don't care what happens to the sub. Is the community being incredibly childish by "ruining" the subreddit? Yep. Is /u/creq being even more childish in his frustration towards this? Hell yeah! This has been great popcorn, and I'm sad the drama will have to end at some point.

[–]Froghurt 35 ポイント36 ポイント

I still think Maymay June was better. Not in terms of actual drama (this has way more plot twists), but because the euphoria was just so fantastic to watch. "Socrates died for this shit and we're all taking it too lightly", "I'm 40 years old and have a PhD and I want my maymays back" were both instant classics.

[–]WorldOneWon 12 ポイント13 ポイント

Stop. Think. Atheism.

[–]dumnezero 4 ポイント5 ポイント

anyone remember when /r/news went through this?

[–]Nerdlinger 47 ポイント48 ポイント

Not "stalking"

Yeah, it's stalking.

Stalking - pursue or approach stealthily.

Nope, not stalking. I'm obviously not being stealthy about this in any way.

That's gold. Like Ponyboy.

[–]SolarAquarion 41 ポイント42 ポイント

The /r/technology Is so ironic When you remember that the /r/atheism Drama Was One year ago. Imagine if jij did a automod to remove all one click memes somehow and no one noticed for a few months. Skeen comes back and demods automod and suddenly realize that removing one click memes weren't that bad and started to witch hunt Skeen instead. That's The /r/technology drama.

Anu, Max And Q have The same moderation philosophy as skeen.

[–]davidreiss666 52 ポイント53 ポイント

Actually, they never really questioned the mod-philosophy that was at work before all the fur started to fly. We (Agentlame, TheSkyNet, myself, Skuld, DrJulianBashir) wanted to added moderators to the team. They (Q, Anu and Max) refused to even have a discussion about new moderators. We figured five mods want to add moderators, and they won't even offer an opinion..... so TheSkyNet and AgentLame started to add moderators who applied for the job.

Doctor_McKay was one of the guys we added.

Only then, after TheSkyNet and Agentlame were adding new mods, does Anutensil start removing moderators. I was forced into a position where I had to act. So, I removed Anutensil. Then things were stable for a day or so...... and then Max logs on and started to rip out all the new mods a second time, add toadies from /r/Worldnews who were never discussed in the backroom..... at which point I resigned.

There are still 39 or 40 mod applications that were solicited that have not been looked at by the current mods of /r/Technology. I still have copies of them. These are people who wrote a good 5-10 paragraphs about themselves and how they would approach moderating. There are at least 25 good mod-candidates for any subreddit in with those applications.

The fact that they don't want to even look through the applications shows that the current mods of /r/Technology just want to cut their nose off to spite their face.

Oh well.

[–]poutinethrowaway 33 ポイント34 ポイント

Well, it's good for srd at least.

[–]david-me[S] 55 ポイント56 ポイント

Then by osmosis, this must be good news for Bitcoin.

[–]SteampunkWolf 28 ポイント29 ポイント

You know, you'd think that by now, we'd have run that joke into the ground, but it's still funny.

[–]david-me[S] 18 ポイント19 ポイント

It's so simple and if there is, at least, a hint of tie-in, it works. I've seen a few get downvoted below threshold for being out of place.

[–]beener 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Hey now lets be honest, it's still funny even if there's zero tie in.

[–]Aurailious 16 ポイント17 ポイント

The further it is from bitcoin, the funnier it gets to post that.

[–]NorthernerWuwu 9 ポイント10 ポイント

Which isn't to say it is unfunny in /r/bitcoin!

[–]ComedicSans 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Everything is unfunny in /r/Bitcoin. It's just hilarious when it's copied and pasted into /r/SubredditDrama.

[–]CarolinaPunk 13 ポイント14 ポイント

The best tidbit was that creq was the one who instigated the original shitstorm over the automod. The circle is now complete

[–]Herecomethedrums 13 ポイント14 ポイント

I applied for that

d-d-did I make your list of potential mods?

edit: op pls

[–]Biffingston 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Aren't you glad they didn't follow through?

[–]Aurailious 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Well, those mods are actually pretty good and if NSApril didn't happen he would be a pretty good comapny of mods. I don't know, something we'll never know.

[–]davidreiss666 6 ポイント7 ポイント

I was letting Agentlame, TheSkyNet and Skuld sort through the applications. I cut and pasted them into the backroom.

I decided to not be involved in the application-approval process because of the stuff that went down previously between Q and myself at /r/Worldnews. So, I figured it was best for me to not be directly involved in the process. I decided to trust the judgement of Skuld and the other guys.

So, I am sorry, but specifically with regard to your application, I am not sure what they thought of it.

[–]Herecomethedrums 13 ポイント14 ポイント

oh. ok.

;_;

[–]another_f-ing_user 26 ポイント27 ポイント

Well, Look on the bright side.

If they'd modded you, you'd be hip-deep in this septic dramawave of the Techno-Prolapse with no way out!

[–]hoodis 9 ポイント10 ポイント

But that is the bright side.

[–]Aurailious 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I think you are pretty good /u/Herecomethedrums! I think I remember reading one of your applications somewhere and I thought it was pretty good.

Best of luck to your future applications!

[–]Fletch71011 15 ポイント16 ポイント

It's pretty funny that you are now the hero in this whole situation when you were considered Hitler during the /r/politics and /r/bestof dramawave.

For those who missed it: http://imgur.com/a/fyc0Q

[–]davidreiss666 15 ポイント16 ポイント

I was never the person who banned anyone from /r/politics then. Not that I didn't support it, but it was another mod that did the various bans there. I removed the thread from /r/Bestof then, and would again.

Long and the short of it, I took the witch hunt rather than let the mob go after my friends.

[–]Fletch71011 10 ポイント11 ポイント

I honestly cannot remember the whole thing outside of you being Reddit's most hated user at the time. This is The Dark Knight level shit; you were the hero that Reddit deserved, but not the one it needed.

[–]dahahawgy 5 ポイント6 ポイント

[–]ddplz 15 ポイント16 ポイント

Trust me, he is just an idiot.

[–]lifestyled 3 ポイント4 ポイント

[–]davidreiss666 13 ポイント14 ポイント

He has a major beef with sanity. He thinks the Admins are working for the NSA or something. He keep mentioning one of the small companies that Kn0thing runs as if he was actively brain washing people.

And if there is anyone in need of a good brain washing......

[–]lifestyled 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Oh, that Jetpack bullshit? He never shuts up about that. I swear to Sheamus that guy is like an unfunny version of Dale Gribble.

[–]Werner__Herzog 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Is this the old way RES did the link numbering? so confusing....

[–]AbsoluteTruth 0 ポイント1 ポイント

He was also removed from /r/canada for selectively removing posts with certain political slants.

[–]RockemShockem 6 ポイント7 ポイント

genuinely curious, what do you look for in a good mod?

[–]NightOfTheLivingHam 2 ポイント3 ポイント

sounds like Reddit's own Russia Vs the Ukraine.

a set of mods that control all the popular subs, when one breaks loose of their grasp, they come back with a vengeance and really take over.

[–]ddplz 6 ポイント7 ポイント

David, I never forgot how much of a complete retard you were in /r/canada so don't expect any sympathy.

Yes Anu and Max are both morons for their own reasons, but they are just as bad as you. You are all morons and the faster you all get axed, the better this website will be.

[–]GodOfAtheism 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Lets not forgot the smashing of the new queue into a quivering pile of downvotes, as well as the failed attempt at a meta sub.

[–]DublinBen 8 ポイント9 ポイント

It's even worse, they favor their own spam content. They're so clearly paid shills for certain media organizations.

[–]OneTinSoldier 15 ポイント16 ポイント

Nah, I think they are just karma obsessed. And it was easy, automod regular users from posting certain popular keywords and then post it yourself.

[–]cabal3 8 ポイント9 ポイント

but doing this sort of thing on Reddit in my mind is comparable to terrorism in real world.

-creq

He's pulling our leg, surely. They're having fun with it now.

[–]jonnie5 23 ポイント24 ポイント

I think /u/creq is a pretty good example of why putting someone into a position of power (no matter how insignificant that power is) who believes there are large, intricate, invisible forces working against them is a bad idea.

[–]duckvimes_ 23 ポイント24 ポイント

I've had /u/creq tagged as "/r/conspiracy poster" for a while. And I'm pretty sure they were happy to see one of their own on the /r/technology modlist. There were all these /r/conspiracy posts about how he heroically found the list of banned keywords, single-handedly revealed the censorship etc., and there were some posts in /r/technology to that effect.

And now?

They want to tear off his head and take a shit down the hole.

BUTTERY!

[–]oblivioustoobvious 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I'm simply confused by /u/creq's actions.

[–]duckvimes_ 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Which actions? There are some things he did, and then there are a few thousand* things he didn't actually do that people are accusing him of doing.

*(give or take)

[–]wearethewolves 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Creq is fully supported by the mods of /r/conspiracy. Likely an alt of either one of their mods (AssuredlyAThrowAway) or one of the /r/technology mods (anutensil is likely because he types hate-filled messages at people when called out just like they do).

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/24jhbu/vote_remove_maxwellhill_and_anutensil_as_mods_of/ch7yb27

Don't forget creq's lies and reversals.

http://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/comments/24jh7s/drama_in_rtechnology_again/ch827rm

He's either an alt or he's been bought.

We are watching him.

[–]duckvimes_ 12 ポイント13 ポイント

Creq is fully supported by the mods of /r/conspiracy

Since you're an /r/conspiracy poster, shouldn't you be happy about that (assuming it's true)?

[–]DiscordDraconequus 3 ポイント4 ポイント

That's really funny, because for awhile when creq was chain-posting in /r/technology, /u/AssuredlyAThrowAway suddenly appeared to attack davidreiss and agentlame without any context in a bunch of the threads, claiming them the shadowy instigators and organizers of the blockade.

[–]mgrier123 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I have as well which is why I was a little confused when people started supporting him in his crusade when this all started

[–]Outlulz 14 ポイント15 ポイント

God damn everyone involved in this are a bunch children, both the r/technology mods and the users participating in the brigade and following the mods around acting like they're doing something that means a damn on this website.

Creq gets called out asking for upvotes in a now deleted comment

Deleted comment

If you would like to help stop all of this censorship then you can head over to /r/technology and upvote new posts you like.

That's encouraging vote-brigading. Definitely reporting that one to the admins.

http://np.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/24qkwe/lets_get_bullshit_to_the_front_page/

[–]75000_Tokkul 87 ポイント88 ポイント

Well that isn't really a vote brigade. Many subreddits encourage people to go to new and upvote what they like.

[–]mimetic-polyalloy 30 ポイント31 ポイント

Isn't that how reddit works? Up vote stuff you like. I'm confused as to the perceived problem here

[–]jeblis 18 ポイント19 ポイント

Absolutely. If he said upvote his or a specific thread it may be bad, but telling people to upvote what they like us fine.

[–]Froghurt 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It's definitely a call for vote-brigading. He went to another sub and asked people who possibly aren't /r/technology subscribers to upvote content in /r/technology. /u/cupcake1713 unleash your powers.

Don't think he'll get shadowbanned for it though, probably just a warning.

[–]poutinethrowaway 14 ポイント15 ポイント

Well, he is calling for them to upvote... I dunno. Given the situation, I doubt the admins will ban hammer him just for that post.

[–]the_liebestod 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Yeah, that would be pretty stupid. Unless the admins are looking for an excuse to ban him.

[–]thisbaseball17 1 ポイント2 ポイント

My question is: why are you taking him so literally? It's extremely clear what he's implying. He wants upvotes from another Subreddit to cancel out the downvotes. He's not also asking people to downvote irrelevant posts. And the call cane right after a flurry of his own links.

[–]eriman 13 ポイント14 ポイント

That's not vote brigading, that's encouraging user participating in the site. See where he specifically tells users to upvote "posts [they] like"?

[–]609kylec00per 30 ポイント31 ポイント

And now he claims it's photoshopped lmfao, dudes a joke.

[–]paulfromatlanta 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Interesting - any idea what the pay. in front of Reddit.com means?

[–]609kylec00per 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Some people use it for different things, i don't know much about it but i think its encrypted/safe? I could be completely wrong tho, i know you have to use it to get on your reddit account from a /r/tor browser tho. Your asking the wrong guy tho, sorry.

[–]paulfromatlanta 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Your asking the wrong guy tho,

Thanks for the reply, though.

[–]david-me[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント

It's secure. it says pay but there is no payment involved. thats just the link

It's for Https instead of Http.

[–]paulfromatlanta 3 ポイント4 ポイント

thank you.

[–]609kylec00per 2 ポイント3 ポイント

No problem.

[–]609kylec00per 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Actually something i do know is the only way to get on it is to put https:// in front of it or it give you a "you aren't suppose to be here" message.

[–]Polyoxymethylene 4 ポイント5 ポイント

It's reddits version of ssl.

[–]paulfromatlanta 2 ポイント3 ポイント

interesting - odd choice of names though - if its just ssl equivalent it seems like safe. or secure. would be more appropriate than pay.

[–]Yiin 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It's a way of forcing Reddit to use SSL. It's just a method of getting it until they get their CDN's ready for true SSL.

[–]Balisada 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Photoshopping is not my thing. I assume that the black picture indicates photoshopping, but how?

[–]Lieutenant_Rans 6 ポイント7 ポイント

It shows differences in image quality, I think

[–]tuckels 4 ポイント5 ポイント

It's called error level analysis. Whenever you save an image as a JPEG, a bit of data is lost because JPEG is a lossy format, so therefore a JPEG that has been saved 100 times will have a greater level of data loss than an image that has been saved 5 times, for example.

The idea behind error level analysis is that it runs the image through a bunch of filters that are meant to make these losses of data in the image more obvious. This means you should be able to tell if part of an image has been taken from the file that has been saved 100 times & placed into the image that has been 5 times, because the part of the image saved 100 times will have many more signs of data loss.

In practice, it's not hugely effective a lot of the time, because untouched images often don't look hugely different to photoshopped images when run through the filters.

[–]shakypears 1 ポイント2 ポイント

In practice, it's not hugely effective a lot of the time, because untouched images often don't look hugely different to photoshopped images when run through the filters.

Additionally, if the image you're altering doesn't have too many gradients, you can do an auto-trace in a vector graphics program and eliminate any artifacts before converting back to raster.

[–]david-me[S] 13 ポイント14 ポイント

It indicates it was not a photoshop You would be able to see the outlines of the copy paste and if the took the time to use the right font, the letters in the photoshopped version would be super clear.

[–]Foothor 26 ポイント27 ポイント

You could just edit the source and nobody would be able to tell if it was photoshopped or not... example

[–]david-me[S] 9 ポイント10 ポイント

The admins will be able to trace back his edit. So for now. . . I suppose it s unclear and unresolved.

[–]MazInger-Z 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Wouldn't the removal of his mod status indicate guilt?

[–]_Kata_ 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Eh, that's more of a reaction to something, not hard evidence.

It's fine though, admins can see everything. They're watching you. Right...now.

[–]609kylec00per 21 ポイント22 ポイント

You don't gotta prove it to me, i saw the original :) But to other people that didn't see it (i know that's why you posted this) it is great evidence.

[–]ddplz 9 ポイント10 ポイント

He claimed that I was running a bot net, then quickly edited his post.

When I called him out on it, he claimed that he never edited his post and never claimed anything.

As if I don't have a memory.

[–]eberkneezer 4 ポイント5 ポイント

He actually made 3 comments yesterday saying his bot theory was wrong because the 30% thing he was going on about was actually reddit hiding downvoted posts so no further posts can be found.

However, that seems to all be deleted. I dont know how many more of his bot conspiracy theory remain.

All vicious rumours to taint the community and attack the ex-mods who he has something against

More trivially, he also stealth edited a comment to try and make me look silly yesterday and win an arguement

This type of manipulation is bullshit and inspires zero trust. I thought he was hired by /r/technology to help gain the trust of skeptics

[–]postirony 4 ポイント5 ポイント

More trivially, he also stealth edited a comment to try and make me look silly yesterday and win an arguement

[–]another_f-ing_user 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I remember seeing your "eating d!cks" comment and thinking "Well, that's got ZERO context here." Then you edited it when you noticed his manipulation and I had to laugh.

He's also got a history of simply ignoring anyone showing him proof his ideas are wrong or not what he makes them out to be as well.

[–]ky1e 2 ポイント3 ポイント

He deleted a reply he made to me as well. It didn't say anything juicy, but still. He's actively editing his profile history.

It's like creq is self-censoring to improve their image. Hmmm....censorship...

Great minds think alike!

dude thats like some matrix level investigating you did there

[–]Akimuno 2 ポイント3 ポイント

To be honest, editing source wouldn't show any proof in there that it was edited. Not saying it is or isn't, just that that's not exactly proof in context.

[–]RogueX7 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Hahahahaha

[–]poutinethrowaway 15 ポイント16 ポイント

creq has been removed as a mod of /r/undelete as well.

Edit: He says he was never a mod there, who knows.

Edit2: I'm seeing shadow people too it seems. Undelete mod confirms creq was never a mod there.

[–]_Kata_ 15 ポイント16 ポイント

I don't understand why people are acting this way.

When something like this happens the best you can do is stay silent until it blows over, then issue a small statement when the heat is off.

Yet they keep on digging their graves. There's just so much popcorn.

[–]MazInger-Z 8 ポイント9 ポイント

The longer it takes for it to blow over though, the better the chances of another competing sub stealing their seat at the table. They probably want to show they have the masses and their own shit together ASAP to be reinstated.

[–]_Kata_ 9 ポイント10 ポイント

This drama has reached bbc news. I doubt they'll ever be reinstated.

Sadly, reddit is much like youtube when it comes to subscriptions. /r/technology, default or not, has so many subscribers by now that it won't matter how much drama they throw out simply because the casual reader will have no idea that it happened in the first place.

I just hope this whole issue helped more people realize how the current mod hierarchy is completely flawed. Reddit shouldn't be ruled by an elite of power users, because that's very easy to abuse.

[–]MazInger-Z 4 ポイント5 ポイント

But that's kind of part of YouTube's analysis metrics, to promote new things based on not only taste but popularity. I still get new channels.

Reddit doesn't run any metrics on where you go or what you like.

Edit: so you're stuck with whatever defaults happen to be up when you create an account.

YouTube's analysis metrics, to promote new things based on not only taste but popularity.

And here I am getting recommended Pewdiepie when I prefer watching people play technical games like Europa Universalis IV, grumble grumble.

[–]MazInger-Z 4 ポイント5 ポイント

If he ain't your thing, block him. It'll get him off the list (not generated on demand, gotta wait).

I get a ton of WoW stuff all over.

[–]Biffingston 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Then how do you propose they do it? 100% automation?

Yah it's flawed, but frankly I don't really see anything better.

[–]ResetSmith123 6 ポイント7 ポイント

The Winchester must be closed.

[–]HiddenText 7 ポイント8 ポイント

And the best thing we can do is fetch more popcorn and get comfy, because this is going to go on for quite some time.

I'm buying stocks in butter and salt.

[–]609kylec00per 6 ポイント7 ポイント

It's like the bowl is endless.

[–]Biffingston 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Sometimes, and I speak from experience, it's just so hard to not comment when you feel very very wronged.

[–]david-me[S] 15 ポイント16 ポイント

Damn!

[–]poutinethrowaway 14 ポイント15 ポイント

He could of remained reddit's defender of freeze peaches, but the lure of modding such a large sub was just too great.

Now he's stuck with the shitshow he helped create. There's something poetic about that.

[–]poptart2nd 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Could HAVE*

[–]poutinethrowaway 6 ポイント7 ポイント

It's staying damnit. I'm making my stand here to rewrite the engish language.

[–]poptart2nd 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Dammit*

Stand tall.

[–]SolarAquarion 8 ポイント9 ポイント

The /r/technology is so poetic in it's irony.

[–]Zerce 7 ポイント8 ポイント

He who fights monsters...

[–]Lieutenant_Rans 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Creq is literally LBJ

[–]Absolutionis 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Not sure if that's Lyndon B Johnson or LeBron James.

[–]IAmAnAnonymousCoward 3 ポイント4 ポイント

He never was.

[–]dumnezero 3 ポイント4 ポイント

upvote new posts you like.

That's not calling for upvotes in the general sense... that's just calling for attention. Nothing wrong with people upvoting what they like, aside from being primitive reddiquette.

[–]Froghurt 1 ポイント2 ポイント

[–]r_fappygood 1 ポイント2 ポイント

So really, how long before the admins just ban the subreddit?

[–]parduscat 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I'm late to this whole thing but what exactly is causing all the drama on r/technology? Are the mods getting ban happy?

[–]Werner__Herzog 2 ポイント3 ポイント

/u/Froghurt made a good summary on a different thread:

http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/24p10l/operation_freeze_peaches_is_still_under_way_in/ch9a636

And it seems, that admins are banning a bunch of people for vote-brigading.

[–]lifestyled 5 ポイント6 ポイント

[–]eberkneezer 7 ポイント8 ポイント

he is normally very cool given the shit he puts up with from all sides.

I find the /r/conspiracy official storyline really strange. Don't they see that by joining the attack against the /r/technology power mods, they can also get ammunition to destabilise worldnews.

/r/worldnews free from "censorship" will be a greater prize and an even bigger spamming ground to serve their conspiracy agenda. Maybe they got bigger plans .

[–]EmmaMightBeDrunk 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Are you suggesting a conspiracy?

The irony would be too much

[–]wanking_furiously 10 ポイント11 ポイント

If asking people to upvote the posts they like on a subreddit you moderate because everything is getting buried counts as calling for a vote-brigade, then it's an oversight. This clearly isn't what the rule is about.

[–]BardsSword 2 ポイント3 ポイント

This is one the first large pieces of drama here that I legtimately cannot understand what it's all about. Everyone's just crazy.

[–]PyroNavi 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Can we just migrate to /r/tech (or literally anywhere else)?

[–]MazInger-Z 6 ポイント7 ポイント

And leave the land of salt and butter?

[–]coldacid 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I already have. All I hear about /r/technology now is what shows up in SRD.

[–]internerd91 5 ポイント6 ポイント

So does him coming to another reddit and and attempting to get up-votes for r/technology count as brigading? Brigadeception....

[–]lifestyled 4 ポイント5 ポイント

From the sticky on /r/technology right now:

This is a rule-breaking post because it is meta-discussion and that belongs in /r/technologymeta

I always encourage all users to use the report button on rule-breaking posts.

If enough reports are sent in on posts they are automatically removed, as a rule.

Sounds like the same rationale I used when I was little and my mom ate food in the living room but told me I couldn't.

[–]moor-GAYZ 3 ポイント4 ポイント

If enough reports are sent in on posts they are automatically removed, as a rule.

Oh, exploitable!

[–]meandyouandx 3 ポイント4 ポイント

This is so bizarre. The more this goes on, the more I sort of think this is a circlejerk or 4chan type project. Maybe it's just trolls or whatever, but the anger and reaction doesn't seem to be of typical reddit hivemind thinking.

I think some people are just having fun trolling at this point... and they have a default mod on the hook so lots of room for lulz.

I guess it's an unpopular opinion, but I think /u/creq is probably right on what's going on but at the same time he's not handling it well.

[–]dumnezero 3 ポイント4 ポイント

/r/technologymeta is over 50% trolls and the rest are just angry posts
