News/Discussion[META] Regarding the current situation (self.sports)

lucdespo[M] が 投稿 - stickied post

Hello Sports fans,

We thought it would be a good idea to inform you on our stance in the current situation. of AMAageddon.

We have seen that part of the community is willing to support a move to make the subreddit private. For the time being however we are, along with moderators of other subreddits, continuing to discuss various issues. Many subreddits have come back up, and for the time being, it does not look like we will be taking /r/Sports down.

Please also remember that /r/Sports had no affiliation with AMAs.

That being said, we will continue to keep a close eye on the situation and keep you all updated.

The moderators of /r/Sports.

EDIT 1: Not sure about what is happening? Read this "Out of the loop" post about it.

EDIT 2: Admins have received the message. They are in the process of looking for solutions to the problems highlighted by the moderators.

EDIT 3: Many subreddits are no back online.

I would prefer if the moderators discussed this issue with the users themselves.

This issue is however one that concerns moderators more than users. The subreddits going down is a direct protest from moderators towards admins. Users are affected by the shutdown, but ultimately the protest is moderators trying to get their voices heard.

The moderators of /r/Sports do not however rely on the admins all that much.

Why is this being downvoted... This makes perfect sense. Sure the users should be heard but at the end of the day it's a moderator decision.

Why is this being downvoted...

Because Reddit loves a good strong circlejerk.

Maybe it's because it's the users that ultimately determine if a sub (and by extension mod) has any authority at all. The comment also wreaks of "Boohoo, us poor mods. Listen to us!" when they are almost as much to blame for reddits problems as the admins.

not sure why you're being downvoted..how many AMAs do you guys set up?

[–]lucdespo[S,M] -9ポイント-8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Zero since my time here. We have nothing to do with this situation. Oh well, I'll take the downvotes....

Just curious,as a moderator how much interaction do you have with admins and decisions with other mods? I'm curious why the mods at IAMA felt that they deserved to be told beforehand. Typically in the workforce environment, personnel decisions are never discussed with other employees. Wouldn't it have been worse for this particular mod to find out from another mod? To the outsider this seems a bit childish.

IAmA was in a fairly unique situation. Victoria set up most of the AMAs for them, talked people through AMAs, and transcribed their answers if need be.

No one told them she had been let go. They had AMAs scheduled that just didn't happen because Victoria wasn't there, and they had no way to reschedule. There's four AMAs scheduled for /r/books in the coming weeks, then the mods there have no way of contacting any of the authors.

In general, we don't have much contact with the Admin and, when we need to contact them, we have to go through the same channels everyone else does.

So what a reddit employee got fired?

WHERE WAS MY PROTEST R/SPORTS?!?!? WHERE WAS MY PROTEST!!!

From what I can see from the admins response it still seems that it is necessary to take down as many major subs as possible. Please take /r/sports down

[–]Threedawg 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

A good reason to take /r/sports down

[–]lucdespo[S,M] -9ポイント-8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Except you have not seen the extent of responses from admins. Most of their communications have gone through private subreddits.

[–]Skoepa -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

That isn't the problem. The problem is the lack of communication between the admin team and moderators of various subreddits.

[–]Yoxuu 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

Should be taken down really, in solidarity with other subs.

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

This is disappointing.

[–]LRats 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is the right decision, sports have nothing to do with what is going on, other than it happens to be on Reddit. All going private does is hurt the people that come here.

[–]U0115bJhQiSGbs2munev 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Take one for the team; take it down.

[–]TheMightosaurus 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

You guys should do it - this is a bigger issue that will effect everyone in the long term. Take a stand and we will support you.

[–]Shiteinthebucket13 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why not keep it down for the weekend. It's a holiday anyways.

[–]mattgrande[M] 16ポイント17ポイント  (1子コメント)

Only in the US. Reddit has subscribers worldwide.

Why are these subreddits doing this? I'm fairly new to reddit so I don't know all the politics of it, but it seems kind of silly to do this over someone that these people don't know getting fired for reasons that again, they don't know. Hell she could've been embezzling money for all we know. Again I'm new so I don't know the politics of reddit and how it's run or even all the details, this is just my comment on my only subreddit that's still up.

[–]jakj -4ポイント-3ポイント  (0子コメント)

This isn't about her getting fired: This is about how she got fired in the middle of a bunch of stuff she was doing that nobody else can do as easily or at all without her in her position, with no forewarning and no substitute/backup system in place, and furthermore, this just was the "straw that broke the camel's back" over years of increasing negligence and abandonment of the administrators towards the moderators.

What she actually got fired for doesn't even matter right now, and only the circlejerkers even care. The actual uproar is over the administration's failure.

[–]CarlCaliente -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Keep it up. I like my sports to be without mindless drama

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

Good decision.

Victoria being fired did not ruin reddit. All the idiots who shut down the website, and the people that fill the front page with whinging are what is ruining reddit this week.

[–]tonybateman 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thank you guys for not participating in this. Some people are dedicated to blowing things out of proportion and making it seem like reddit is falling apart when it's not even close.

[–]zkDredrick 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you need to view a specific Reddit post from a blacked out subredit you still can.

If you have the link saved as a bookmark etc then you can search the full thread title on Google, and view the cached version of that website. Might not work with every thread, but Google should have most threads cached.

Visual Aid for this

Do it
