when they will get an admin to reject your sponsored link in the middle of its schedule, then attack you in their subreddit.

Quantify 'get'. If there was no issue with your title--one you only used in ToR, mind you--it would not have been removed. To your second claim, you encouraged us to post a thread about your ad to ToR.

Also, you seem to neglect to mention that in your own thread for the ad you admitted to violating reddit's TOR by offering to pay mods promotions.

If you're trying to spin, you're doing an awful job.

To your broader thread:

there is still zero interest or activity in Scitr.com.

You're assuming there is no correlation to the fact that your website looks hideous, and isn't even remotely intuitive. What in the flying fuck is an 'artic'?

It was already approved. By causing a scene you got Sporkicide to remove the link.

It is not against reddit's TOS to ask subreddit moderators about paid advertising. They directed me to self-serve sponsorship.

"By informing authorities of my misconduct you caused them to act on my misconduct." Somehow, I don't think such a defense has ever worked.

I tried offering a subreddit moderator money

You didn't 'ask subreddit moderators about paid advertising', you asked them to violate reddit's TOS, something /u/Sporkicide pointed-out

The sponsored link was already approved. You got them to reverse it.

I said, "I was wondering if mods can be paid to advertise. Or if http://www.reddit.com/advertising is the best way to do that," and he said, "no, no mods will take any money from advertising."

You got them to reverse it.

No, we got them to review it. And it was removed for making an untrue statement. Your website isn't a sponsor of our sub--as you've been informed over and over by many people.

How is it you think rules happen? Someone does something slimy like you did, people review the bad action, and act accordingly.

You're so invested in your poorly designed site (you still haven't told me what an 'artic' is) that you can't step outside yourself and review your actions. Notice how you completely ignore anything you don't want to argue about? Like when I said I was happy you considered ToR a community that you'd like to market to? You don't care that we would have been ecstatic to be home to your advertisement, you care about arguing if you were right in your title. A title--I'll once again point out--you only used in ToR.

I said, "I was wondering if mods can be paid to advertise. Or if http://www.reddit.com/advertising[1] is the best way to do that," and he said, "no, no mods will take any money from advertising."

Then that's what you should have said. You can't fault others for taking you at your word.

Why would you be ecstatic to have sponsored links on TheoryOfReddit if the moderators can't share in the proceeds?

[–]agentlame 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Why would you ask if I care about the money spent on the ad? Your proprieties in life seem very badly skewed.

You should reflect on what it is you want out of your site, since the pride and enjoyment of building an engaging community don't seem to be their own form of payment to you. :(

I think you've touched the heart of it. reddit behaves like a family, not a website. That is why a sponsored link can offend. You are correct that I don't share those values. My website is a tool. It says you are a moderator of over 360 subreddits for 4 years. Personally if a user did that on my website I would pay them.

If you don't care about community you can't build a community. And if you can't build a community, you can't pay people. With all due respect, you hardly strike me as someone interested in building a charity.
