We apologize (self.announcements)

ekjp[A] が 投稿

We screwed up. Not just on July 2, but also over the past several years. We haven’t communicated well, and we have surprised moderators and the community with big changes. We have apologized and made promises to you, the moderators and the community, over many years, but time and again, we haven’t delivered on them. When you’ve had feedback or requests, we haven’t always been responsive. The mods and the community have lost trust in me and in us, the administrators of reddit.

Today, we acknowledge this long history of mistakes. We are grateful for all you do for reddit, and the buck stops with me. We are taking three concrete steps:

Tools: We will improve tools, not just promise improvements, building on work already underway. u/deimorz and u/weffey will be working as a team with the moderators on what tools to build and then delivering them.

Communication: u/krispykrackers is trying out the new role of Moderator Advocate. She will be the contact for moderators with reddit and will help figure out the best way to talk more often. We’re also going to figure out the best way for more administrators, including myself, to talk more often with the whole community.

Search: We are providing an option for moderators to default to the old version of search to support your existing moderation workflows. Instructions for setting this default are here.

I know these are just words, and it may be hard for you to believe us. I don't have all the answers, and it will take time for us to deliver concrete results. I mean it when I say we screwed up, and we want to have a meaningful ongoing discussion. I know we've drifted out of touch with the community as we've grown and added more people, and we want to connect more. I and the team are committed to talking more often with the community, starting now.

Thank you for listening. Please share feedback here. Our team is ready to respond to comments.

So anyway why did you go on to give detailed statements to thirdparty newsfeeds first, before speaking to us? The place with the tagline 'the frontpage of the internet'? The people you slighted in the first place? Hell even buzzfeed got info before this statement from you...

Edit: Ellen responded to me, but I anticipate she will be heavily downvoted so here's the reply

"It was hard to communicate on the site, because my comments were being downvoted. I did comment here and was communicating on a private subreddit. I'm here now."

[–]Llim 182ポイント183ポイント  (20子コメント)

Publicity. Trying to do immediate damage control for the media

EDIT: To everyone who's just seeing this thread now, make sure you expand child comments (or go to her profile) because Ellen is responding to some comments, she's just being heavily downvoted

And it did work, partially. Many 3rd part sites wrote articles that portrayed redditors as the evil and Ellen Pao/admins as the victimized admins.

Really? Everything that I saw was more sympathetic to the redditors, but then again I get all of my news from reddit.

        Because she didn't want the media wildfire to spread any faster, and the damage was already done with us.

        Because going to a thread immediately just got -1000 votes and lots of, "Ellen Pao is a cunt" replies. No one is under any obligation to engage when that's whats being thrown at them.

        [–]Leninator 33ポイント34ポイント  (1子コメント)

        It's pretty absurd the way that redditors demand a reply, and then downvote you when you provide one.

        I also completely understand why you'd go to a third-party website to announce stuff over the place that was literally comparing you to hitler and calling for physical violence against you.

        [–]Whubwhub 12ポイント13ポイント  (15子コメント)

        I'll be honest, refreshing and seeing your score drop from -100 to -500 in one go is a pretty big deterrent to actually being seen...

        Don't downvote her responses, everyone. She won't care about losing her internet points, but others will want to see the messages, which can be hard if they're buried from negative karma.

        It's really ironic to me how lack of communication is what people are screaming for, yet they downvote you and hide your comments from the masses cause of all this herd mentality. It's a shame, honestly.

          You read the news though, right?

          I suspect the answer might have something to do with good reporters at major news outlets having their contact information, calling over and over to get a response and giving Reddit a deadline along the lines of "If I don't hear from you before [this time], we'll have to run the story without your input."

            Thank you for finally apologizing on here, instead of through media interviews. Should've come to your community first, instead of the press. But you also miss the point. You say a majority of reddit users don't care. But, those of us who create content for the lurkers care. Acting flippant isn't a good way to get us on your side.

              Considering there were statements to the media over the weekend, yes.

              [–]TooManyGone 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Perhaps they needed to meet and discuss the problems and direction with their team before being able to issue this statement? Talking to the media, perhaps in response to questions, might not be the same as making promises to your users/customers.

              But I didn't know there'd been statements to the media so thanks for pointing that out.

                If it's not a landmark firing (It wasn't), you should really do your succession planning before instead of after you fire somebody, so whatever statement that should have been made should have already been written. It shouldn't have taken extra time.

                    It took you this long to reply, and this is what we get? Some bullshit apology that looks way to similar to what you told the moderators, just barely tweaked to more direct it to the normal users. Waste of time.

                    Not against the law, but standard business etiquette. Similar to giving an employer 2 weeks notice before quitting.

                    I'm pretty sure you're right. Unless the former employee waives that right (by discussing it publicly themself).

                      We don’t talk about individual employees out of respect for their privacy.

                      With our announcement on Friday, we're phasing out our role being in-between interesting people and the reddit audience so that we can focus on helping remarkable people become redditors, not just stop by on a press tour.

                      The responsibilities of our talent relations team going forward is about integrating celebrities, politicians, and noteworthy people as consistent posters (like Arnold, Snoop, or Bernie Sanders) rather than one off occurrences. Instead of just working with them once a year to promote something via AMA, we want to be a resource to help them to actually join the reddit community (Arnold does this remarkably well).

                      We're still introducing and sourcing talent for AMAs, just now giving the moderators the autonomy to conduct them themselves.

                      In the interim, our Director of Outreach, Ashley, and Creative Projects Manager, Michael, have been filling this role (in addition to their other work), but we're looking to hire someone for the role of Talent Relations full-time to take over.

                          I know it's minor, but I appreciate how direct the wording of the apology was. No "I'm sorry if you were upset" or "I'm sorry you feel that way" unlike many "political" apologies; rather it was a straight to the point nostra culpa "We screwed up."

                          Be interesting to see where this goes.

                              Will you step down as most redditors currently see you as the problem, not the solution?

                              Why did you talk to everyone but reddit, we are the community and you ignored us. Its obvious you don't know much about the community here at all. Why don't you keep working on these positive changes but you yourself should make a real effort to become apart of and involved in the wonderful thing called reddit.

                                Will you be having somebody fill the role that Victoria Taylor (chooter) filled? She was an important part of the community.

                                We completely understand if you can't (for legal/ethical reasons) comment directly on the firing of chooter... but clearly her role was vital. What are you doing to fill that gap?

                                I appreciate that you guys are acknowledging the problem and at least dating you'll try to fix it. That's certainly better than ignoring the problem or, worse, outright saying one doesn't exist.

                                I just hope this all isn't a "Please understand" a la Nintendo. Words are better than silence, but they aren't as good as actual tangible change.

                                Better yet, get off Reddit. Show that in its current state there is 0 demand for the product. Half-assed boycotts yield half-assed results. Boycotts only work if you show that you are willing/able to go without.

                                  We screwed up. Not just on July 2, but also over the past several years

                                  Already trying to deflect criticism away from your own regieme within the opening sentence.

                                  It's not sincere.

                                  Talking to major media outlets before addressing the community on your own social platform demonstrates incompetence.

                                  Not a good start.

                                  The main issue, clearly, is the divide between Reddit the website and Reddit the business. Finding a balance to please both can obviously be quite difficult, but you'd be surprised to see the positive feedback and ideas the communities will have that could prop up the business side if you actively listen. I hope we can better the site thru this.

                                  Some ideas, of course, are crazy (https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyIdeas/comments/3cauxn/community_buyout_of_reddit/) but at least some are trying

                                  What about censorship? Your post is all about placating moderators (which are essentially unpaid employees and do server attention). However there is NOTHING about the overt censorship occurring on Reddit. Posts about Ellen Pao suddenly disappear, Reddit censorship, and other issues that are most certainly NOT harassing anyone end up in shadowbans for users.

                                  Your apology is not accepted.

                                    Does this mean, at some point, you'll tell us why Victoria was fired? Because a whole lot of the backlash was down to her being fired with no notice or reason given.

                                    They are just words, but they are important words for the community to hear. Fixing the mod issues and communication with admins is a definite step in the right direction.

                                    Hopefully this will be the start of a healthier dialogue between admins and mods/users when it comes to functionality and communication issues on Reddit.

                                      You're right. They're just words. The same kind of words you've been saying for years.

                                      It's appreciated that you're now apologizing and try to make amends, but I personally won't be believing it until I start to actually see these changes happen, like an explicit explanation/timeline/development details of what tools are being made, or the moderators themselves saying that communication has improved.

                                      Also, a direct response to the Victoria scandal would be good. You don't need to tell us why /u/chooter got fired, but you could at least say if there's now a new point of contact for mods to go to when it comes to arranging these AMAs rather than leaving them high and dry.

                                      I hope this works out for Reddit. Otherwise it will implode very quickly.

                                      As a person who has dealt with this kind of public backlash, though on a less huge scale, please do not be the person that throws themselves upon the pyre for public humiliation and anger. No need to sacrifice one person for many peoples' mistakes.

                                      It's a step in the right direction. Good to see something tangible coming of all the drama.

                                      I haven't decided yet what the best channel of communication with me will be. PM's are fine for now, but I'm thinking having a designated subreddit would be more organized. Let me know if you have ideas, too. Maybe there's something better I haven't thought of yet.

                                      We totally believe you.

                                      Just kidding. Congratulations on acknowledging your mistakes. It'll make it easier for you to say the same thing next year when you guys repeat your screw ups.

                                      I'm only still here because I don't really have a choice, there's no where else to go. But when there is, you can guarantee a lot of us are jumping ship. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, yeah not gonna happen.

                                      Ellen,

                                      I'm no expert and really have no personal stake in any of this, but a comment/explanation, outlining why Victoria was let go, would likely go a long ways towards extinguishing this fire. Doesn't need to be rich in details, but I think this whole "thing" came about as a result of her termination. Answer that question, and much of this will begin to resolve itself.

                                      Wow. Just wow. First in the myths section you tell us that you only have 28 employers, then you jot this failure down to your "growth". (Also heard you've fired near 30 employees in the last 9 months.) And you are right. Your words are very hard to believe. How about showing some serious action by willfully stepping down?

                                      This doesn't really address reddit.com's treatment of moderators AND self service advertisers. This is just lip service to "make things easier".

                                      Take 5 minutes to go look at comments /r/selfserve and /r/modclub before posting PR lip service .

                                      As a user of Reddit only, I don't have much hope for this site or Alien Blue in the future. Under your "leadership", or lack thereof, I see this going the way of MySpace. I liked Reddit for what it was, the front page of the Internet where I could see a little bit of everything. But like most good things they don't seem to last because people start doing it for the money instead of the love of doing something and being a part of something. If you truly care about this site ekjp, you will step down from your position. I'm not saying you have to leave Reddit, but there is an extreme lack of confidence in you and your abilities.

                                      Why did it take so long for you to acknowledge this PR disaster? Not only that, all you did was promise us you'll do more than promise things. I'd love to see some decisive plans, time lines, and more information as to what led to the meltdown the past few days. We want details.

                                      This website has been rather embarrassing to use over the past few weeks. I never used to tell people I was on Reddit...now I suggest people avoid it. I few embarrassed for everyone.

                                      And why exactly should we believe a word you type?

                                      This entire post is blatant PR bullshit.

                                      Also:

                                      We’re also going to figure out the best way for more administrators, including myself, to talk more often with the whole community

                                      It's not like this is a message board or anything....

                                      Hi Ellen,

                                      /r/IAMA mod here. First, thank you for finally making a statement about this on reddit.

                                      Second, can you go into more detail about the direction you see for celebrity participation on Reddit in a post-Victoria age? Alexis has made some comments to us behind the scenes about your ideas to encourage celebrity participation beyond AMAs, but I'd love to have the conversation in a more public space where everyone can participate.
