[Megathread] Subreddit shutdown (self.IdeasForAskreddit)

DERPYBASTARDMod が 投稿

We have chosen at this time to set /r/AskReddit private. Communication and support between admins and moderators has been deteriorating and basic tools such as moderator tools and modmail are sloppy at best, with constant promise for improvement never coming. Communication has also been lacking as evidenced by todays mishandled firing of Chooter. Feel free to use the comment section to discuss or ask questions.

What happened? I was browsing when it suddenly became private.
EDIT: the thread had 1 comment when I wrote this, now has 60. o_0
EDIT2:I'm not going to update for every increase of comments.

So, reading that, I can understand why some subreddits that have a lot of AMAs going on would temporarily shut down, but why AskReddit?

[–]pm-me-weird-stuff 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

It says why right at the top of this submission dude.

      Can you give us an example of what kind of treatment we're talking about?

      [–]Thirteen_Eight 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

      It has something to do with the firing of Victoria, most likely. The same thing happened to /r/Iama. There is definitely something wrong with the way that admins are treating others involved with reddit right now.

      No comment from her, other than she's dazed by the firing.

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

      She signed an NDA, can't say anything without being sued.

      If you're going to suddenly shut down a subreddit with millions of active users, perhaps you should write a thorough explanation to get folks on your side. Instead, what you've written is super vague and references stuff that none of us have any clue about.

      [–]Youbloodywotm8 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Well, there's goes what I was going to do. I night go better myself or something

      Yeah This is disappointing. :( I never even posted I just enjoyed reading.

      [–]redct 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

      For those who are confused

      The shortest version is that Victoria (/u/chooter), the Reddit employee who handled logistics and dealt with publicists for /r/IAmA (and similar Q&As on other subreddits) was fired with no warning to the mods of /r/IAmA. Because they were left hanging, they shut down the subreddit temporarily. Some other defaults (like /r/science and /r/movies) have also gone private in solidarity as they (presumably) see this as a good opportunity to draw attention to some of the friction they've been having with Reddit administrators.

      For more, see this thread.

      Somebody who worked for Reddit was fired. As far as I know no reason was given so they could have been going around raping coworkers but apparently they are too cool to be fired and because of that I can't read topics about what NSFW things somebody saw in various locations

        [–]Senseless-Insult 52ポイント53ポイント  (7子コメント)

        no users = no revenue for Reddit staff.

        This hurts Reddit just as much.

        [–]Late_Night_Grumbler 10ポイント11ポイント  (5子コメント)

        The admins can re-open the sub at any time. They might just do it without a good moderator team like /r/askreddit's, and then we're really fucked.

        [–]Senseless-Insult 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

        Yeah, in which case they hurt their own site more.

        Ultimately, it does screw us over, but the userbase of Reddit is Reddit.

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

        Agreed. This is what happens when they forget who runs their site. SPOILER: It's not them.

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

        Yep, the only reason I'm here is because of the user base. There's nothing remotely interesting about reddit itself.

              They know. I know.

              A lot of mods are thinking though, this is like incident 4050606 reddit has made, and every time they don't listen to the mods.

              There is nothing else these mods can really do, if the admins won't listen to them, and I would guess that they are trying to get people to maybe show reddit that they need to fix the communication game

              Hurt users will get noticed, Reddit needs users, it can't exist if there's only bots left in a tumbleweed site.

                It'd be interesting to see what happens to Reddit if all the defaults go down. Will people who aren't subscribed to anything else just see a blank page?

                  Come on you guys. I was just posting one of my favorite stories about making my scrotum and penis dance in the "What else do you use your genitals for aside from urination and sex?" I kept getting a 403 and I refreshed maybe 3 times wondering why I was forbidden from AskReddit, of all places.

                  Alas, I will see what's going on with the treatment discussion.

                  Don't you think this is a little drastic? There are better ways to stimulate a discussion between moderators and the admin than shutting down the most popular subreddit on the site.

                  The thing is since none of us are employees of Reddit we have absolutely no idea if the firing was mishandling. For all we know she did something that warranted immediate termination. We are not obligated to know the reason why she was fired and as a private company it would be incredibly unprofessional for Reddit to comment on the specific reasoning. And since she was under an NDA, like all Reddit employees, she can't disclose this either.

                  Hmm... I'm torn here. I get that the admin and mods are at odds with each other and the tools suck. I also get that this is a volunteer job. But I can't see this ending well. The whole "they can't fire all of us" idea doesn't usually work out well because, well, that's what happens. Also, strikes produce scabs. They always have and they always will. Though I support your movement, I do not support the way you are going about it.

                  To be honest, I feel that setting /r/askreddit to private, is a bit extreme. The users haven't done anything wrong. AskReddit is one of the most used subs on here, and it makes the users feel like if Reddit is going to turn into a drama fest because admin and mods can't get along, why even come here in the first place?

                  Yo, this is fucked up. I don't think as mods you own AskReddit. Your frustration is understandable, but shutting down AskReddit is not an appropriate response.

                  The mods need to be able to do their jobs. They can't organise amas or anything like that without admin support and communication.

                    Is there any chance we can find out why you're going private? Specifically

                    a statment on the treatment of moderators by Reddit administrators

                    Is this a protest or boycott?

                    a lack of communication and proper moderation tools

                    are you saying the site is poorly designed so you're shutting down?

                    I wonder if the admins will override the mods and re-open the sub, it's one of the largest and biggest draws of the site. I wonder how much traffic drops.

                    Please don't make it private permanently, askreddit was one of my favorite parts of reddit. I don't know if I'd even come back to the site if I can't access it. I admit I don't know anything about the communication between admins and mods, but I don't see the point of askreddit if it isn't open to the entirety (or at least a vast majority) of reddit...

                    I suppose my question is the following:

                    Does setting askreddit to private do anything but hurt the readers? Surely there are other ways to improve communication and support other than flooring the metaphorical askreddit car from 0-60 straight into a catastrophic collision.

                    If/when you decide to open up askreddit again, will I be able to see my recent discussions on it? I was having a conversation with a few people on the sub as you closed it and now I no longer see neither my recent comments on the sub nor the replies that the people I was talking to sent me.

                    Are those discussion gone forever, or will they become accessible again if/when you open the sub again?

                    I totally support this decision. Reddit's support for its userbase has been deteriorating for a while now. Seeing defaults go private is an excellent way for people to show their dissatisfaction for the way we're being treated.

                    Wow, first time I spent crafting a reply in months and I try to post only to be informed that the subreddit is now private. Talk about bad timing. This seems absurd for one of the largest subreddits on the site to be shut down over disdain over how the admins are running things. While this may get what you want in a response from the admins, it also seems like a recipe for admins taking control of large subreddits to prevent this type of, dare I say, blackmail action with one of the highest traffic areas of the site.

                    If this goes on too long, with so many default subreddits shutting down... Reddit itself can't last long under these conditions.

                    This might be it, folks. This might truly be the time for a new great migration. First Digg, now Reddit appears to be a sinking ship. The question is, where do we go now? Wasn't there an alternative being mentioned a while ago during the /r/Fatpeoplehate fiasco?

                    Isn't this more than a little extreme? I can understand the frustration at a lack of communication, but doing something like this on the very same day as Chooter's termination isn't really giving Reddit sufficient opportunity to respond to your concerns. I feel like this is just flying off the handle.

                    It's great to see reddit coming together to oppose something other than radical social justice, a lack of leaked celebrity nudes, or the inability to insult fat people. Mad props to all the defaults closing in protest of the opacity of the current admin team and their decisions, and remember to pour one out for /u/chooter

                    Wow. I'm really surprised to see this sudden deterioration of Reddit. I know that there have been problems but it seems like the Reddit Admins are treating the staff/moderators unkindly; the situation with Victoria, the picking-and-choosing of banning particular subreddits (and not banning arguably worse or equally as offensive ones).

                    I can only say that I hope things improve all around and that Reddit gets back onto solid ground.
