Looks like one of the mods got angry because of how well things are going without them...

[–]DelicateSteve 1039ポイント1040ポイント  (77子コメント)

We might get lucky and they all resign and we get a new set of mods.

[–]gayinhellkid 298ポイント299ポイント  (57子コメント)

They would never live it down. They aren't going anywhere.

Im very glad we are proving them wrong, and i hope it lasts for the entire week. I shitposted aswell and it got downvoted very quickly, which is the exact same thing that would happen if the mods were still there.

keep going bois, 5 days to go

When one of the lol mods linked to another subreddit that had a no moderators week that went badly I couldn't help but think of the circumstances that made it different. For one, the content on that subreddit was already riding the line, and would probably be banned by any other subreddit. Then you also had the fact that it was a smaller subreddit and the news that it was going mod less made a much bigger splash. Typically a lot of trolls on the internet will crop up to try and have fun at other expense. So it is absolutely vital that you have a big enough userbase to dwarf the potential negative wave of trolls.

[–]shinyskarmory[mi ramfan] (NA) 12ポイント13ポイント  (2子コメント)

The subreddit you're referencing is /r/f7u12 I believe.

/r/leagueoflegends' situation is different in a number of ways, including the ones you mentioned. This sub is much more focused topic-wise than f7u12; because there are only a few edge cases where it's really debatable if something is League-related or not. As a result, for most posts there will be a substantial majority agreement on whether it's suitable for the sub or not.

edit: fuck it's /r/f7u12 my bad

[–]Makiavelzx 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

fyi, it's f7u12 not f7u14.

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

f7u12 not 14. 14u's is outside the subreddit limit

    This community has to be handheld. If its not riot overly harsh punishments and no talk attitude, its mods being way over the top. Instead of downvoting shit content and having a good old argument online, we have to have mods and reports for "flame".

    Its a game for children.

    [–]Monarki 22ポイント23ポイント  (20子コメント)

    Im very glad we are proving them wrong, and i hope it lasts for the entire week.

    I'm wondering how long it'll last. It's all well and good getting everyone to downvote and upvote in new but people might get tired of that, meaning the likelihood of shitposting cropping up increases.

    [–]gayinhellkid 42ポイント43ポイント  (19子コメント)

    Or people also get tired of shitposting once they realize their post get buried quickly.

    Check /new/ right now. Zero shitposts.

    It's dying out. The point of shitposting during mod free week is to hope others like just messing shit up for a while, but if no one else does it and you just get downvoted like a bitch, you get tired. You don't bother doing it anymore.

    [–]iTomes -4ポイント-3ポイント  (10子コメント)

    Thats not really how it works. The problem is that the upvote downvote system favors the lowest common denominator (for example, funny "DAE MFW LE XD" reaction gifs or stuff like that) because people are more prone to upvoting than downvoting. As a result youll have shitty posts float through the top under normal circumstances.

    People are shitposting in mod free week because its fun. The issue that comes up there is that this community is completely retarded and sees mod free week as an opportunity to "prove" something (though I have not met a signle individual that could actually make a coherent point of what exactly they were trying to prove that made a shred of sense, but whatever) instead of enjoying the opportunity.

    [–]Muisan 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I recall multiple mods saying that a mod free week would be a dumb idea, that the subs who did it ended in chaos and begged their mods to come back. So they haven't said anything directly about proving they were needed, but it was implied.

    [–]iTomes 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I don't, but regardless, they wouldnt be wrong. I can't think of an example where similar attempts worked (the examples of failure I can think of were reinstating image posts into the atheism subreddit and an attempt at mod free week in that ragecomic fffuuuuu sub, both didnt end so well), due to the reasons stated in my previous post. I dont really know if people on here are autistic enough to camp /new for an entire week, but I also dont see why exactly it should matter unless you wish to imply that they would be capable of doing it forever.

    [–]Muisan 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Oh no I agree with you, mod free sub is a really stupid idea. I was responding to the part where you don't see what people are here to "prove." Here is the situation how I see it. So I guess the people opposing the mods are more out to prove the mods wrong or just don't want to give them the opportunity to say "you see, you do need us."

    [–]Ginesis 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Who wants no mods? The only evidence presented that "we" want no mods is a pole that said if we have to choose between the option of mod free week, or living on with our dictator mods not listening.If given only those options then yes, we will chose to get rid of these mods for a week.

    The reason self censoring matters this week is to show the mods they aren't god, and they aren't irreplaceable. Mods are needed and are great for a forum community. Our mods just happen to go on a power trip, get called out by the community on multiple points of their power trip, and now feel they are too deep to admit they were wrong. Therefor, they look for stupid ideas like mod free week that don't actually represent the problem for either side in any way. It is still important we push to show them that we can be fine during a mod free week because even their nonsensical logic has to be disproved for us to have any chance to get them to correct their wrongs or just resign.

    [–]nidrach 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Yeah no censorship for a week and all that comes to those peoples mind is selfcensorship to prove that they don't need censorship.

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

    From what I understand is that the point is they do not need censorship by mods but instead do need that of/by the community and want the community to have a voice.

    [–]moush 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The problem is that the upvote downvote system favors the lowest common denominator

    If that's what the majority wants, what's the problem? You can always go to subs like /r/summoningschool or /r/leagueoflegendsmeta for actual discussion. It's not like this sub has ever had quality discussions it's just esports, drama, and youtube videos.

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

    Not to mention what people here are ignoring is that quality control for threads being created in /new is only one segment of moderation. You have to look in comment threads as well, which, without the ability to anti-snowball karma, create a ton of discussion that has the lowest common denominator at the top of the thread. There's also a ton of normally rule-violating content -within- threads that is obviously not being moderated due to mod-free week (I've had one user with an obvious moderator hate account tell me to kill myself already).

    Besides, what you've traded for 20-30 moderators following a procedure or standards for moderating content (however flawed it might be) is 100-200 or so people downvoting what they feel isn't worthy content - and it's not just shitposts being downvoted (change our preferences to greater than -4 and you'll see lots of content that is perfectly fine and within the rules, downvoted to oblivion).

    I'm someone who commented that this would be awful and chaos, I am pleased that this is better than what I thought (so far, LCS weekend will be interesting), but this is a false positive. It's not as great around here as people in this thread might think it is - and it's non-sustainable. I suspect the moderators may choose to extend mod-free week and test how far the community can go on their own.

      We do need some sort of mods though, otherwise checking new every once in a while can be dangerous. A nice lil GoT spoiler title made me decide not to even look at new posts this week. They need to get deleted

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

      If you want things to go well why would you shitpost?

      [–]Codect 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Honestly the only difference in the subreddit seems to be direct linking of images.. which most people approve of from what I've seen.

      Of course also all the meta posts about no-mod week and the shitposts that have absolutely nothing to do with league (an image of a piece of bread? seriously?) Both of which exist simply because it's "no mod week". If moderation was always this laissez-faire neither of those would have a reason to exist.

      All this is showing me is that the mods should really loosen up, just enforce reddit rules, deal with reports/obvious trolls and let the community decide what the community wants in regards to content. The masses know what they want, they don't need the few to dictate what is appropriate for them to view and what is not.

        I remember when I was in military boot camp. The drill instructors tried to use the worst 5 people as an example. They did this by taking away our guide and squad leaders, and replacing them with these 5. Surprisingly they did really good and this backfired in our drill instructors faces. Maybe these worst 5 people turned up when they were expected to fall, maybe they were out to prove something or even prove someone wrong. In the end the drill instructors basically made us run around doing stupid stuff and then used that to get us to beg to have the original guide and squad leaders back.

        LONG STORY SHORT: Everyone is replaceable. The funny part is these guys are doing this to their selves.

        I hope they don't come back and a more neutral party becomes the moderators, as maybe the old mods we're 2 busy riding their high horses to see what was beneath them.

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

        Sounds similar to my experience. Guide was replaced by a "shitbird" and next thing you know, he graduated a Lance.

        When it comes to proving people wrong, a person will go above and beyond.

            And yet /r/SubredditDrama and /r/circlejerk exist. Two subs that exist for the purpose of vote-brigading. But they don't say bad things about the mods/reddit, so it's fine.

            Yes, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that the mods there and the mods here share a chat room, maybe even a Skype room or something like that.

            Pretty sure that they're "allowed to" because they use the np.reddit links.

            Except what RL did was tweet specific user comments in a negative way so said users would get shit on by his followers. How is this difference so hard to understand?

            [–]photofluid 0ポイント1ポイント  (6子コメント)

            Except that was a common practice among public figures and the first day I ever heard of "vote-brigade" was a few days AFTER RL was banned.

                Let's not pretend malicious targeting of one user or comment is the same as a joke post on a circlejerk sub. The latter is still not that great but let's get ahead of ourselves here.

                [–]musicmorph99 26ポイント27ポイント  (7子コメント)

                Suit yourself. I personally think the post was intentional ambiguous as to whether it was serious or not to deflect attention as to whether it is a serious attempt to bring spam here to our sub. Regardless, I'm sure it brought a good deal of spam, so I don't appreciate it in the slightest, "joke post" or not.

                [–]Muisan 21ポイント22ポイント  (3子コメント)

                Also, I think the argument "you should know better" is pretty relevant here. I mean, you are a lol mod during all this drama and you go ahead and post on that sub? Come on...

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

                It's not really wrong what he did, it's just that you can expect, especially from /r/circlejerk, to add some more heat to all of this drama. With a pretty big group of people being pissed at the mods anyone could've predicted this would rub a lot of people the wrong way. It would've been a lot wiser to just not acknowledge it imo.

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

                But people are accusing him of Vote brigading, saying he should be banned from reddit etc. Like what the fuck? I can understand someone thinks its inappropeite but he did nothing wrong... Or am I totally missing something?

                Let's also not pretend that people are maliciously targetting anything just by posting what he think is ridiculous on his twitter account.

                Btw, Tryndamere posted a million tweets with reddit comments attached during the spectateFaker incident, why am I not seeing Riot contents banned yet?

                    Does it matter if he was doing it lightheartedly or not? I guess I don't understand why that would matter. The sub was getting raided, and he goes and lightheartedly posts in support of it. In what sense is that appropriate? If he didn't post anything or seriously decried it sure, no problem. But to go there, and join in with a bunch of people supporting a raid on the subreddit is completely tactless whether he's on "vacation" on not.

                    People in here just want to trash on the mods for fucking everything, it's actually sad to witness. His comment isn't even that visible in the original thread, and "as a moderator of /r/..." has been a meme for a loooong time. Pretty sure a lot of people just thought he was joking, but nope, better accuse him of trying to sabotage something the community is doing. Fucking. Seriously.

                    I'd say he is just joking around, but you'd have to be dumb not to assume someone is going to take it the wrong way.

                      I thought it was funny because circle-jerk does that all the time. What isn't is the fact a mod instigated it to show how fragile the sub is without mods.

                      Kinda backfired on him tbh.

                      I mean they'd have to be monumentally stupid to post that publically with genuinely nefarious intentions.

                      They're monumentally stupid to post it at all. How the fuck can people be defending this post as "lol its a prank!" You don't moderate a subreddit as large as /r/leagueoflegends and do stupid fucking shit like that. It's just the perfect example of how immature and out of touch the mods are, and why so many people are upset with their behavior. I get that the comment isn't that big of a deal by itself, but come the fuck on - this shit should not be tolerated by our community.

                      light-heartedly? Go stew in the circlejerk subreddit for a while, the actual act of standing in a circle and jerking off is more light hearted than what happens in that sub.

                      also, how is it fucking with anything?

                      if anything it's the very best way to prove that moderators aren't needed.

                      it shouldn't be "us vs. them" all the time. i bet some of the mods are genuinely interested in how this would go. (not just here but on any sub, or any internet forum)

                        Wait seriously? So admins care more about outside brigading than subreddits brigading each other. That's weird so say the least & kinda irresponsible. Should we start a 'we want better admin' rallying call now?

                        Iirc, one admin or ex-admin was involved with this sub which is why it didn't get taken down. But I haven't really paid much attention to the whole situation, so I'm not 100% sure on this.

                        That's half of what makes the bitching about our mods so damn funny to me. Admin inconsistency is so much worse.

                        Posting something you made from your own site and linking it directly? That's spam and your shadowbanned. Posting something you made and putting it on Imgur? Completely fine.

                        Subreddit brigading is weird because some like SRS are ok'ed despite having done it in the past, /r/subredditdrama used to but now is watched for brigading, /r/bestof and /r/worstof are mixed as well.

                        Lastly, this whole Lichard Rewis thing could have been over before it began if the admins would ever clear up what is/isn't allowed for off-site linking.

                        The difference between posting your own site and poating something you made on imgur is the former is way easier to monetize and promotes spamming. Unless you own imgur, you are not posting your own site.

                          true, but bestof is generally positive-oriented. There is a difference between "look, this is good stuff! let's share it!" and "look, this is bad stuff! let's share it!". There is no logical reason to share bad stuff unless you want to brigade it.

                          Circlejerk is a subreddit that can't be taken seriously and is 100% satire.

                          The mods asking not to spam were almost certainly joking and actually caused all the spam on our leagueoflegends subreddit indirectly

                              It was a call to action for the trolls in /r/circlejerk that worked, and resulted in a wave of spam and shit posts. Maybe this wasn't the intended result, but thats the same bullshit defense that people like Richard Lewis use to defend their tweets.

                              In fact, lets do a thought experiment where we imagine Richard Lewis wasn't banned and it was he who had called for the shit post spam from /r/circlejerk. The mods here would have lost their shit.

It happened to me and I think it happens to other people. Sometimes things just sound or look funnier in your head. Who would have thought everyone would create a vote brigading story out of this?

                                  I guess that it can't be brigading if you just say "Please do NOT do X"

                                  It's like everyone isn't a human being that can see through words to reveal their meaning, but all bots and robots that take everything literally.

                                    Imagine the government of a country tells the people that the police wont work for 7 days.

                                    Local militias are created to protect the citizens and they have been able to do it at the best of their capabilities

                                    Because the government wants to prove the necessity of their strict police force, they encourage other evil-doers/release criminals to try and brute force their idea.

                                    What would be your reaction to this?

                                    Well this is a website, so... Pretty much only comparable in theory alone. Comparing a mod encouraging people to spam the page to a government intentionally releasing criminals is a HUGE over exaggeration.

                                    Most people would react very strongly I imagine. However that's a real situation as opposed to a forum, on the Internet, concerning a game.

                                    I agree with the seemingly general consensus that this "trick" by the mods is backfiring, but let's not make grandiose comparisons.

                                    They're completely unrelated. Mods only enforce what people say, or see. Would have to be more along the lines of gov. information censoring.

                                    You don't become a mod of a subreddit as large as /r/leagueoflegends and do stupid shit like try to brigade your own subreddit with spam. Even if the comment isn't that big a deal by itself, it's fucking STUPID, and mods should fucking know better. The fact that this got posted at all is extremely telling.

                                    Yes, we do. They are just on "vacation." They haven't stopped being the mods, and you bet your ass they still are modding things that break reddit's rules

                                    If you think this was just some light hearted quip from one of your friendly neighborhood mods you're much more optimistic than myself.

                                    My thoughts, they want this subreddit ran into the ground this week so that amidst all the chaos they can swoop in like shining knights to protect us from the mess they're evidently adding to.

                                      This sub was already shit before mod free week and now it's even shittier. It's ridiculous how many circlejerk posts make frontpage. I mean this shit for example has 1,6k points. What the fuck.

                                      So well that an admin had to step in and delete a post. Yeah this sub is doing a top job without mods.

                                      If so well means more variety in posts I agree, but some ASSHOLES keep posting nsfw pics and GoT spoilers.

                                      I don't get how this is a good test of anything. Everyone is aware of the no mod week which will affect everyone's behavior for better or worse. Everyone saying this week has been so much nicer, it's because people are going out of their way to be better this week just to stick it to the mods. It would have been much more interesting if the sub didn't know it was going on, if we could get biased results afterwords.

                                      I still stand for a moderated subreddit, I think it's healthier and every other subreddit has its own mods. But after seeing this kind of behaviour, I can't help but think this particular mod should be removed from the staff immediately. It's not helping their image, which wasn't very good in the first place.

                                      EXACTLY! I wanted to make a prediction post about how the mods are going to spam this sub themselves with shitposts etc. from alt-accounts just so they can hear "how much they are needed", but I guess they beat me to it!

                                      that's quite an assumption to make from one post.

                                      have you considered that maybe he just thought it would be funny, and he posted for shits and giggles? like why do we have to assume that he has some insidious motive? just because he's a mod?

                                      This sub should be handed over to Riot Admins, i think it would be better...

                                      Of course not, why would I try and give another perspective when the reddit detectives got everything already figured out? God forbid I take away some of your anger.

                                      I think it's the opposite a lot of users here are pretty butthurt about how things are going without mods. If this mod free week has taught us anything it's that the average reddit user on this sub is a moron.

                                      Who? I don't see any /r/leagueoflegends angry mod in that screenshot. The only one who is there is making a troll reply to follow the joke.
