Ever wonder why /r/conservative sometimes seems like /r/conspiracy and that no one seems to understand how the world works? Well part of that is that the 3rd most senior mod is only 14. (np.reddit.com)

That's consperatard worthy though? Can someone note something ludicrous that he stated that's irrational? I must have missed this.

As far as I'm aware to qualify as a moderator I would assume he probably has more political understanding than most of you, despite his age.

Edit: Is no one going to fucking bother and say why?

Yeah, I hear you need masters degrees in at least two social science fields to apply for a spot as a mod on a political sub. Of course you probably won't get accepted unless you also have solid coursework in STEM fields and the humanities, and are a PhD candidate, preferably in political science.

Obviously just those qualifications aren't enough though. You must also submit a writing sample of at least 10,000 words on a political theory subject of your choice. APA format is a must. And if the current mods approve of your qualifications and writing sample, you get to move on to the interview process.

Overall, the acceptance rate hovers around 5%, and only the best apply.

Took me a minute to realize you were being sarcastic... I am not a smart man.

[–]Great_Googly_Moogli 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Took me only seconds to get depressed that this isn't actually the case. Is it too much to ask for intelligent, capable and of voting age moderators for subreddits?

[–]thepasttenseofdraw 1 ポイント2 ポイント

It's a low bar apparently.

[–]maxout2142 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Care to say what he has done wrong? I must have missed that in this thread.

Wow. Please generalize a bit more. Tell me all about your imaginary 14 year old political genius while simultaneously denigrating all of "us".

Edit: sentence structure.

Put the shovel down you're digging yourself too deep.

SHHHHHHH,...,let the man speak ;)

Care to explain what I'm doing? I'm asking to be proven wrong here, at least bother to try.

[–]Biffingston 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I'm not going to argue if you're right or wrong. I don't know enough to form an opinion.

However, I'm going to say that I don't come to /r/conservative and try to convince you guys I'm right.

I'm sure you see it as justly writing a wrong. I'm pretty sure most of us here see it as trying to stir up shit.

Just letting you know.

edit: Derp, meant right said wrong. You get the idea though. Forgot how to words tho.

[–]maxout2142 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Thank you for a straight answer.

[–]Tredoka 2 ポイント3 ポイント

you said having political knowledge was a pre-requisite to being a moderator of a political sub. That's just laughable. I think the pre-requisite to being a mod is believing in the anti-white agenda and political correctness gone mad, that's about it. I mean you guys have literal neo nazis as moderators, they're not exactly politically informed

[–]maxout2142 -1 ポイント0 ポイント

literal neo nazis as moderators

Can you cite that?

[–]Tredoka 2 ポイント3 ポイント

/u/mayonesa was a moderator for several years, he's a blatant white supremacist. /u/chabainis is incredibly racist. /u/terrortot rambles about how black people are inferior and has called them subhuman.

I guess you haven't really paid attention to what people over there say.

[–]maxout2142 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I've subscribed to the sub for perspective on everything, its a shame to hear that.

[–]MatthewX5000 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Well since the kid isn't here to have a debate I don't know how to prove you wrong.

[–]maxout2142 0 ポイント1 ポイント

You make a point by citing something he did that was blatantly immature or uneducated in his field of politics.

Going by the posts on /r/Conservative in general, a chimp used in helmet testing has more political understanding than any of you.

[–]maxout2142 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

So no example? I'd actually like to be corrected here.

[–]Tredoka 1 ポイント2 ポイント

/u/chainaibis

or however you spell it, go to the mods list

edit: http://www.reddit.com/u/Chabanais

Yesterday he cheered for the death of Maya Angelou. He also thinks its terrible that people were happy when Thatcher died.

Thank you.

If you don't have the self-awareness to comprehend what I'm referring to by looking at your own FP then nothing I say will sink in anyway.

Keep jerking it.

[–]maxout2142 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Just like how we scrutinize a conspiratard and ask them for credible evidence I'm asking you to provide for your disliking of this guy with evidence. Am I jerking it and being unreasonable for asking WHY?
