No name calling or harassing please. Let's just stick to facts and solutions.
Today someone has been trying to spread the word about a molester. The mod has removed the post twice, and censored it to the point of it being completely useless.
People have posted original works of art relevant to Seattle, and the mod has removed it for being "spam or a personal project"
Events and meetups are discouraged because the mod thinks they're being done for profit.
Enough users have noticed this and posted links to new Seattle subreddits, but the mod has removed those links.
.....
Why aren't we allowed to have real community here? Is there any way we can convince the mod to change?

If we do, the mods will simply remove it like the last time.
Edit- I didn't see the original molester posts. If they contained enough information they may have fallen under "witch hunt" posts and I think those are banned on all of Reddit, not just here. Also...the post up right now claims 12+ victims, with action pending with SPD. If SPD put out a call for information on this person I am sure the mods would leave that up. Right now it's just someone who is concerned writing up their version of what's going on.

My hope is that someone will write something that will make the mod go "Oh!" and come to a realization of sorts.
But your right, this will probably get deleted before that.

I posted a week ago about the Seattle Reads book. The idea is that a bunch of people read the same book and then you can talk to your neighbor Seattleites about something besides the Seahawks and the weather. The dumbass mods killed my post because they said it was an 'event' post. It's not an event. It's an activity that anyone can participate in from anywhere, and it's really just about fostering reading and community, but fuck those things amiright?
That said, you can't do witch hunts on Reddit because they could be any rando trying to slander anyone. So these kinds of posts are inherently problematic. If you can link to an article or a case number then fine, but Reddit can't have any random troll rallying a mob to go lynch someone.

Your subreddit idea sounds cool! Too bad it will never take off and gain viewership because of the current actions of the mods ):

/r/Austin is a wonderful community. The moderators let people post just about whatever they want, and they let upvotes and downvotes decide what we see.
Sometimes a great deal at a local grocery store is at the top of the page. Sometimes it's a good "I'm new here" post. Sometimes it's about a local band or event.
In all of these cases, it's what the community at large enjoys on a particular day. And I think that's the way Reddit should be.

I noticed you didn't mention sunset pictures ... sounds barbaric. I bet they don't even have chickens in trees there.

[–]EponymBroadway 11 points12 points13 points  (2 children)
I also had a text post taken down for simply pointing out a bar reopening, yet the mods let hordes of 'original' Seattle skyline sunset photos through. Rules might need a changin'.

A bar's grand reopening sounds like relevant news to the Seattle community.
As a collective we probably don't care about every happy hour special or event happening at a bar, but the opening is significant enough.
And if we don't care, we can always just down-vote it to bury it. So really I don't know why the mod censors any of it.

Sunsets or Seahawks, the only topics allowed in here.

[–]seattle-freeze 6 points7 points8 points  (0 children)
they also only allow the promotion of activities they deem worthy ... ones that they don't get deleted and the posters potentially banned (even if those activities or events are not for profit and organized within the subreddit). to my mind this creates a conflict of interest... They protect some things and not others... and those decisions seem arbitrary at best or potentially not.

I've had posts removed for talking about logging of a popular hiking trail. No one on the moderation team answered me when I asked why this happened.
The moderation in this sub is capricious, opaque, and not at all conducive to a good community.

Most of you sound like you're new here. This exact conversation happens every two months and nothing gets done about it. That's just the nature of Careless.

[–]ChristopherStefan 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
I've had posts removed claiming they were forsale/wanted ads. In each case I thought that was a real stretch even looking through a really warped lens. On the other hand I've seen very blatant forsale and wanted ads stay up with no action by the mods.

But if there was all this community crap cluttering up the subreddit, we wouldn't have room for any PSAs about merging or using your headlights in the rain. Do you want this place to fall apart??

You are allowed to create a new subreddit and moderate it yourself. That's just the way reddit works.

[–]rabidfurby 6 points7 points8 points  (0 children)
And if a community of users formed around that new subreddit, some day a group of them might make a self post saying "hey, here's some ways we could improve the moderation here". That's just the way reddit works.

On another topic: nearly every new comment or post in this subreddit is immediately downvoted to 0. What the fuck is up with that?
