Caspaa94 が 投稿

Nitesmoke must be trying to log in.

Reason
/r/wow page says: The World of Warcraft subreddit has been shut down due to doxxing.

From what I can tell, all moderators of /r/wow (including myself) except nitesmoke were removed.

[–]pleaseremembermyname 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Cant reddit admins step in here? They have stepped in on less before.

[–]destiny-rs 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I hope they do, I don't want to be accidentally going to /r/wow all the time cursing then typing in /r/realwow instead.

They will hopefully just remove nitesmoke and reinstate all the previous none 10 year old mods.

[–]Luzern_ 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They can, but this only happened 5 minutes ago so give it a few hours. It had 200k subscribers, after all.

[–]LittleMantis 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yea, they will step in, just pm them and give them time. He can't take down a sub with 200k subscribers because he's having a fit.

[–]XLauncher 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

They could. They probably won't. If they let /r/xkcd sit in the hands of someone who used it as a front to broadcast for subs about misogyny and anti-semitism (it's better now, but only because the original holder goofed and forgot to log in for a prescribed period of time), they're not likely to do anything as long as nitesmoke is willing to squat on the sub.

[–]agramthedragram 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah I was just thinking about the /r/holocaust drama from earlier this year.

[–]fakeyfakerson2 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's one thing to step in on how a sub is moderated. It's another to step in because an entire 200k person sub was brought down.

[–]VerticalEvent 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

We have a request in /r/redditrequest to remove nitesmoke and put in aphoenix for /r/wow.

[–]afunyun 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Unfortunately he's allowed to do with his own sub what he pleases, if he wanted to open it to be about only rule-34 ponies tomorrow he'd be allowed to do so within the site rules.

[–]Who_BobJones 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm sure some people would enjoy that. But hey, if it somehow put his childish mind at ease then I say go for it ~

[–]ALPHATT 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

can't he just give reins to the other mods? what even happened?

[–]iBleeedorange 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think another mod has reddit requested it.

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

aphoenix is trying to gain control.

[–]iBleeedorange 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

si, i know

[–]oopsforgotmyusername 97 ポイント98 ポイント  (8子コメント)

He deleted his twitter as well.

Epic ragequit.

What a fucking loser.

edit: he is now claiming it was shut down because he was doxxed, so fucking full of shit and unwilling to even take responsibility for being a complete douchebag. Hilariously sad.

[–]FrankFeTched 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yeah this is a rage quit of biblical proportions

[–]CommodoreHaunterV 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (5子コメント)

he said he was planning this from the start.

[–]Velnica 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah right he did that. This is just his kneejerk response cause people called out his bullshit. Textbook ragequitters 101.

[–]FrankFeTched 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

So true. "No I didn't rage quit, I was planning this all along, I'm not mad, your guys are the ones raging"

[–]NothAU 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"I demodded everyone and made the sub private again because of consumer advocacy, guys. You should all be on my side!"

[–]Mxxi 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Where did he say that? The guy's a real loser.

[–]Roboticide 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not to shut it down permanently, which is what he seems to have done.

You think we would have said what we said and supported him if we thought he was going to shut the whole fucking thing down permanently? We had no idea.

[–]lolbroken 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

With all the time he has spent being a little bitch on reddit, he could have reached level 100 on two characters already! fucking casual.

[–]phedre 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yep.. I was removed. So was aphoenix.

[–]waahht 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (4子コメント)

me too! :)

[–]phedre 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Did you add your voice to the "hey dude, step down" modmail chain too? I know me, aphoenix, roboticide, and sharkraptor all posted to it.

[–]waahht 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I never ended up replying to it, and I don't see a way to reply to it now. Where could i do this? I pretty much told him I thought the way this was all handled was stupid.

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everyone told him his choice was stupid, even if he thought it was right.

But the four of us ended up actually telling him he should step down as top mod. I'm assuming he got home from work, saw it, and didn't take it well.

[–]waahht 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh well. Occasionally when you do stupid things you are going to have people tell you that you are stupid.

[–]waahht 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (10子コメント)

Oh well, was fun while it lasted. Hopefully this new sub takes off. Best of luck to you all :)

[–]Roboticide 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (9子コメント)

The ex-mods should have a group chat. I'd be willing to use Facebook, or we can maybe meet in /u/aphoenix's /r/WorldofWarcraft.

[–]waahht 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yeah i've been talking to him a bit in game. I'm up for talking wherever.

[–]Roboticide 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Lol, forgot about the game client. Not a bad idea, although I'm at work...

[–]S2005 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Not to mention queues... but queues...

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

You can chat from the launcher.

[–]S2005 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

True, but we'd have to exchanged RealID info, or be in the same guild, no?

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Most of the /r/wow mod team has already exchanged Battletags.

[–]S2005 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well... That makes sense.

[–]dusktilldawn24 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

We should just use that subreddit... the title makes more sense and it was created before this one

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We're discussing it. /u/aphoenix already controls it, so that's nice.

I'd like to use /r/wow if we can get it back. If not, we'll see.

[–]Sasoriryo 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Oh jesus, really? What are you thinking is going on?

[–]StSomaa 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Spoiled babies in charge of a subreddit, that's going on

[–]Sasoriryo 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, for sure. He's being a little bitch about not being able to play a fucking game. Many others are having the same problem as him. I've been in queue since 12pm today, 7 hours later and I'm not in yet, but you don't see me acting this fucking childish.

[–]IM_ARTYOM 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He deleted his twitter from the looks of it.

[–]Roboticide 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We don't know.

[–]destiny-rs 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I bet nitesmoke is probably being harassed by some le epik trollz after his "protest" the other day.

[–]feor1300 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

From the page where it tells you it's private:

The World of Warcraft subreddit is no longer here. Please visit one of the fine new subreddits.

To me that says that he's tired of dealing with people talking shit about him and quit.

[–]hollyharlow 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Now it say it's been closed for doxxing.

[–]Caspaa94[S] 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Dog move.
Now he can mod /r/wow himself while we start /r/realwow (level 1)

[–]feor1300 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (4子コメント)

We should have setup the sub a week ago, we could have gotten the boost to level 90. :P

[–]ALPHATT 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

wtf are you guys serious, there was so much stuff on /r/wow, is it all lost and done with?

[–]Chibi3147 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not really anything worth it to be honest. Posts about queues and personal stories. More can come just as easily.

[–]feor1300 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The only thing I'll miss is the list of resources from the sidebar, hopefully they can get something like that up here soon. (actually soon, not Blizzard soon :P)

[–]writofnigrodamus 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]Sawljah 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

His lack of understanding along with selfishness is unbelievable... Does he not get that when the 100,000+ people are stuck in queue and want to keep up-to-date their first point for reference is /r/wow ? The acts of 1 man took years of hard work and destroyed them in a flash. GG /r/WoW and hello /r/realWoW

[–]StSomaa 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think is time you and the other ex-mods message the admins about that spoiled baby and get the sub out of his hands

[–]rincewind_wizzard 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Sounds a lot like what happened with /r/bloodborne a while back. The head mod removed all the other mods, banned a bunch of people, then appointed one of his alts as a second moderator to try to make it seem like things were still cool.

[–]The__Luggage 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I believe he removed himself as well.

[–]LewGenesis 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you need any help, ask us. We'll be glad to lend a hand.

[–]dinghie 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean, this is just the perfect example of why you should not bestow full power to one man.

[–]ZetchOrdo 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (8子コメント)

I just saw someone post personal info about him on there. Though I don't agree with what he did last night having someone dig into your personal life is not cool. I wouldn't be surprised if that caused this.

[–]Caspaa94[S] 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

His profile on some dating site. That was a step too far imo, lets keep it about wow.

[–]wowingagain 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I missed that, but yes that is too far and if I'm correct, against Reddit rules. He annoyed a lot of people, even made some angry. He acted like a child in some ways, but he didn't hurt anyone, or cause any issue (that I saw) that warranted his info being put out.

[–]iBleeedorange 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He was even bragging to me last night on twitter "what are they going to do doxx me again?"

Dude seriously isn't a smart person.

[–]AxeVice 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's way too far. There was a ton of name calling and general immaturity going on in various posts yesterday, too. What he did and how he acted was out of line, but there's no reason to insult the guy and invade his private life. In the grand scheme of things, he's only inconvenienced us - the community lives on.

[–]TheTowerJunkie 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

the okcupid post? Yeah that was a bit far. But downing a whole sub cause of it? Hope reddit fixes this

[–]BrokenLCD 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You reap what you sow. Fuck him.

[–]wtf-seriously 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's not cool but neither is another take down of the sub because of it.

[–]binaryblitz 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

While I wouldn't put someone's info out there, he shouldn't be surprised. In this day and age you can't expect to piss off a huge group of relatively savvy computer users and have nothing bad happen to you. Not saying it's right, but pretty much par for the course.

[–]shryne 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Send a message to /r/reddit.com to contact the admins. Maybe if enough people show support for reopening the subreddit, ownership can change hands.

[–]LewGenesis 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Done also. Up voting for visibility too.

[–]XLauncher 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not that I want to discourage anyone from trying, but reddit policy is pretty clearcut on these matters: if nitesmoke is the kind of petulant child that would squat on the subreddit (and I'm betting he is), they won't force a turnover.

[–]ky1e 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's /r/reddit.com, not /u/reddit.com

I'm sure they're aware of the situation already, I am actually of the mind that flooding their inbox would hurt the chances of them intervening

[–]Woopza 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (2子コメント)

That guy is such a joke. The fact that he does it again just shows how childish he really is, and how little he cares for the community.

[–]insaneopinion -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Apparently someone posted his personal info, that's taking it way too far. The first shutdown was childish, but I would have done the exact same thing if someone started posting my personal info on reddit.

[–]ObsidianOverlord 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You would? you would shutdown the entire subreddit? Or would you just remove the offending material and step away respectfully minding all the other people who aren't you.

[–]jcfolife 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think he's closing it down for good.

[–]BaxterBentlingtonIV 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think if someone is going to act like this and jump to things so quickly then to hell with it. We can make this or whichever new subreddit the official WoW one.

[–]BaxterBentlingtonIV 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Just logged in to say this. I went to open the next page and bam! "The World of Warcraft subreddit is no longer here. Please visit one of the fine new subreddits." Jesus, this guy has problems.

[–]slalomz 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The message has just been changed to "The World of Warcraft subreddit has been shut down due to doxxing."

[–]TheSaviorOfTurtles 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah just saw. And now we make our final transition to this sub...

[–]decoy90 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What a little bitch that guy is. Such a big community, even devs coming to it... Uggh, complete idiot.

[–]valkyrjas 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Just to clarify, we lost our subreddit because blizz didn't know about nitesmoke and his celebrity status as an /r/wow mod and didn't give him preferential queue treatment. We're here because he had to queue with the commoners?

[–]Caspaa94[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seems reasonable.
/s

[–]lolbroken 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

He had to queue with the rest of the us casuals.

Man, I feel like a right idiot giving /u/nitesmoke the benefit of the doubt and defending his actions yesterday. I generally try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but jesus fucking christ do I have to eat my words today. What an absolute fucking CHILD.

He makes a mistake, throws a hissy fit and closes the subreddit. Okay, it was a mistake. Let's move forward. Now he closes it for good because of what? Because his mod team joined other WoW subreddits?

[–]thegamerofdoom 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm glad I found out about this board before it went down!

[–]Cachalottawhales 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think I tried to visit it for the first time all this buffoonery began right when he made it private. After a google search, I come round to find this. What a trip through the Neckbeard Forest.

It seems /r/wowlore is now private as well. Did he run that one as well?

[–]Velnica 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

not sure, but for lore stuff please use /r/warcraftlore instead!

[–]jennabellie 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ohh that's the one I was looking for! Thank you for posting it! I went back to the wow sub to subscribe since I wasn't logged in and he already made the sub private so I couldn't get it! Thanks again :)

[–]Stone-Bear 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure this is the death of /r/wow.

He deleted twitter, removed mods. Now, he shuts it down permanently.

Good thing these communities can be easily moved with a quick "subscribe" click :)

Too bad this guy fell off the deep end. Why would you do something like this? You could have been the voice of the entire community, communicated with Blizzard.. but nope, you throw a temper tantrum and ruin everything.

nitesmoke, while very upset now.. is going to hugely regret this decision in the coming days.

[–]Vela4331 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]BaronTruffle 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Jesus Christ, this dude has problems. So when Blizzard does some stupid shit, he can say whatever he wants, but when he does some stupid shit, people can't voice their opinions without him closing a community consisting of 200k people? Nitesmoke, if you read this: google the word 'hypocritical'. Read it. Understand it. It'll probably improve your life.

He should probably also realise that it's the 1 % that pissed him off; the remaining 99 % didn't do a goddamn thing, yet they got punished. You know, these people - including me - found a lot of good shit on that subreddit, which helped us a lot.

Just my two fucking cents. Have a great day and enjoy WoD.

[–]nelly676 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]re-verse 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nitesmoke is a bit of a conundrum. I have no idea how someone who is obviously a huge retarded baby has the dexterity to sign up for a reddit account and create a subreddit.

[–]MarinaATD 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know this subreddit is new but as a cave dweller, please get rid of this white background before it burns my eyes out of my skull! Don't need a whole new theme but even an off-white/light grey would probably be awesome for a lot of people.

I just want to put this out there, while I completely agree with everyone in that taking the subreddit down was a stupid idea, posting personal info of someone is a huge no. In my view the people who posted that info are worse than him as they are just trying to be malicious, he just wanted to play a game.

[–]ThatMuscleUpGuy -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have just posted saying that WE ALL as a collective should move over to this subreddit, /r/RealWoW. We must not be disheartened or pissed off about what /u/nitesmoke has done. We should be glad and thankful. This is a new expac, so with a new expac, comes a fresh start. A fresh and new start here at /r/RealWoW.

Haha, I just honestly resubbed last night after more than a year off from WoW. I was bored at home and said "Fuck it, I might as well give it a crack" and man, I'm honestly enjoying it.

It ain't about neckbearding or anything but there is not much to be done, we can sit and wallow in anger or we can move the fuck on. I prefer, moving the fuck. on.

[–]magicofire2 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nitesmoke just removed himself as a mod of /r/wow and deleted every post that ever linked him to the subreddit, as if he can get away with this. Is this guy for real?

[–]Paulydactyl 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The way I see it nitesmoke's biggest mistake was the way he made the protest about him. I have no problem with the idea of a protest like this. If he had worded his plight as something like "I'm making things private until players can login without insane queues" it would be more understandable. But instead it was "private until [he] could log in."

[–]jentso 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Did someone really post his dating site profile?

[–]Awkward_Dude 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

When it goes public again can we see post put there previously? I was contemplating rejoining WoW and talking with someone in comments but now I can't see anything posted there previously.

[–]Fear_Yourself 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's changed the Private Message twice on the subreddit.

It initially said: "Go enjoy the other fine subreddits" and now it just says "closed due to doxxing."

This Nitesmoke kid is throwing a hissy fit of epic proportions, and is trying to play it off like some sort of righteous protest on twitter previously, and now like he was being doxxed?
