I really can't believe the lengths people go to in order to drum up some conspiracy and drama.

This is volunteering, I do this on my own time to help YOU the COMMUNITY. I do my best to enforce the sub rules and get rid of toxic posters. I don't get paid for this, I do it because I want to see the subreddit be a nice place for discussion. I don't have some hidden agenda, or ulterior motives, I don't want to silence any group, minority or otherwise.

Stop making such a big deal about nothing.

I banned a guy for lashing out at another poster, the ban was harsh (but temporary) I apologized for having such a heavy hand and that was that.

I removed the post because there was nothing else to say, I'm not getting removed as a mod for temp banning someone, there is no recourse here. I apologized, he accepted and that's it.

I'll add, if you want to call me a jerk or point out where I have slighted you, feel free to DM the subreddit, all of the mods will get the message.

C'mon to /r/FreeAlberta. Be free. Reddit rules only. Trolls and shitposters welcome.

Why would I want to go somewhere where trolls and shitposting is welcome? So to 'be free' in todays society is to 'be retarded'?

Lol I posted in the [removed]. I just said he was childish and a troll. Good to see he showed up here to fight with everyone who disagreed with him. Classy and professional to the end.

After being banned once by this mod I was tentative to speak up. But since this post has been stocked I would like to provide some more evidence of his behavior which is not suitable of a mod.

Here are posts of his where he threatens to ban people for "lies" even though they are truths. And threatens to ban people for trolling. He also insults them and swears at them. link

Then, he banned me for this post stating that it was a "garbage post". I appealed it to the other mods and it was changed to a 7 day ban.

1. Why does this mod think it is proper to ban people for Trolling, or making bad posts? There is not a single rule in the sidebar that says those actions are bannable offenses. Why is this mod threatening people with bans for something that is clearly within the rules.

2. Reddit is designed that the community can vote up or down posts that they feel are worthy of being on the front page. It is not up to the mod to decide between winners and losers.

3. I am with the multiple users on this subreddit who would like to see this mod step down.

The prime reason 'trash/shit posts' are removed here is because it isn't a massively active place. Not because of a lack of use but rather because it is primarily news stories and not self posts which mostly go into area specific areas. If we allowed troll posts, like your 'Yay Saskatchewan' post this place would go the way of Facebook knee jerk posts that dilute actual conversation.

Personally I hate seeing anti Notley posts just for the sake of trashing on the NDP. I'm not one of their supporters but it gets just as old as the anti Harper posts in the past. It's as tiring as the PC support in the last government. Criticize, dig up damning articles, hit the beat and do your own journalism but don't come in here with something fit for Twitter just to take up space on the /r/Alberta front page.

Now as a moderator, I can't let that view dictate what is or isn't submitted. For the sake of the community we allow criticism of politics in the form of discussion but just trying to turn this into a /r/the_donald ignorance circle jerk isn't happening. There are a handful of Canadian / Alberta meta reddits for taking conversation off track

MBGLK gave me some good advice once. He said "Bro, don't feed him" I have taken it to heart ever since.

i can see your viewpoint and those are really great when those kind of posts come up. but at the same time i really like the guys like oileng or whatever and whiteshado for posting alberta based news. i seldom go other places for alberta based news because of them. and particularly oileng is well spoken and posts a diverse selection of news articles

without such submissions we'd be an echo chamber and nothing exceptionally good would be posted here ever.

so the point of my stance is that unless we promote people to be here, post and talk a lot. the really good content never really shows up.

[–]jhra 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am not criticizing legitimate posts that any users put up, for me specifically and the only reason I'm getting into this conversation openly is that a part of their defence for being banned was a shit post. Since they were reinstated their post quality is up and the ban seemed to have cleared up what the community is for. I also use this for an Alberta news source, especially when I'm out of the province. We get posts from both sides of the perpetual right/left battle and wars of words are always going on. Nothing wrong with that at all. So long as the conversation is on track and isn't just trolling talking points the mods do next to nothing which could be why any mod action is noticed.

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

To be fair my posts were fine before that shit post as well. It was single, isolated incident that this mod decided was worthy of a ban.

His behavior has not changed and he continues to abuse his power.

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

Removing posts is competently fine if they are not adding to the conversation. My post was a "shit post" and I do not deny that. But it was not grounds for a ban, 7 days or otherwise. Especially with no prior warning or offense.

This is just an example of what this mod has done. the other posts are examples of his threats for comments, not posts. Why can this mod ban people for comments that he deems to be "trolling"?

Really?

Reddit is designed that the community can vote up or down posts that they feel are worthy of being on the front page. It is not up to the mod to decide between winners and losers.

There is also a moderation system in place for a reason.

I am with the multiple users on this subreddit who would like to see this mod step down.

you are entitled to your opinion.

[–]hunkE 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think any of us need or want a safe space. We can handle trolls, insults, etc.

PS - that last one is a fact, not an opinion.

[–]MadeInPotato 5ポイント6ポイント  (27子コメント)

I'm not sure what you are asking. Did one of your posts get removed or something? I'm not a mod. I'm just curious what happened.

not one of mine but i was just about to comment on how the guy is a troll and a jerk. i went to grab a quote where he was a dick to me (but he had deleted the comment already) and boom post nuked.

here's where he was a dick to me and i could honestly care less but it helps with claims others are making

http://i.imgur.com/g7N3r57.jpg he deleted his comment but the context was that i had heard a rumor and i stated clearly "rumor" he proceeded to say something like i heard a rumor you perform gay sex acts with dolls and you're a brony (it's deleted so clearly i can't see it to remember) either way rude, childish, unprofessional, uncalled for, and stupid.

[–]Karthanon [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

God only knows, getting called a brony is just over the top and completely unacceptable.

[–]fish_e_o[S] [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

well it was certainly weird. i just thought it was out of order to use someone's completely harmless lifestyle in an attempt to insult me.

[–]Whiteshado_Calgary 4ポイント5ポイント  (21子コメント)

http://imgur.com/a/8FSfa More posts where he was doing similar things.

[–]MBGLKEdmonton 0ポイント1ポイント  (20子コメント)

If by "similar things" you mean warning people about behavior, okay.

[–]Whiteshado_Calgary 3ポイント4ポイント  (19子コメント)

Where are the rules does it say trolling is a bannable offense? Or making garbage posts is a bannable offense? Because you have banned me for making a "garbage post": http://imgur.com/q6rfDGe

It's at the moderators discretion.

Link the post you were banned for posting, I don't recall what it was.

Its just proof that he is not fit to mod.

it's proof you're not a contributing member of the subreddit.
