UnansweredWhy is /r/apocalympics2016 now a private subreddit? (self.OutOfTheLoop)

Sorkijan が 投稿

Update 1: It looks like the related post in /r/subredditdrama has been removed as well. Note that removed is different from deleted.

Update 2: Official post from mod at /r/subredditdrama as to why the related post was removed. Apparently it didn't qualify. Personally I think a very popular and trending subreddit being mysteriously made private and having its top mod removed from reddit would be the epitome of subreddit drama, albeit a bit more meta.

Update 3: Official new sub with old mod team is at /r/ApocalympicsRio

Mod (well, I guess, former mod, we were all removed) here, we're trying to figure out what's going on too. It looks like /u/noobit removed all of us and deleted his whole profile history. The other mods are currently working on a "replacement" subreddit.

edit: /r/ApocalympicsRio is our new sub, we're trying to get what we can moved over.

Change the "r" in reddit to a "c" in the URL in order to see the removed comments highlighted in red.

Oh, like my comment because I happened to use the reddit function of mentioning a username when I was citing them in a similar thread. So much for trying to properly cite sources.

[–]Forest-G-Nome 59ポイント60ポイント  (30子コメント)

Your comment was removed because /u/jebusgobson is a piece of shit moderator of a few dozen subs, who has literally nothing to do with his life other than be a busy body that deletes whatever he can for whatever bullshit reasons he can find. He didn't even give you a chance to correct the post, just straight up deleted it.

He's like those old people you see yelling at skateboarders and whatnot because they have literally no other human interaction in their lives and need to to feel powerful, you have to wonder what kind of mental health issues people like him suffer from.

[–]ahotw 30ポイント31ポイント  (14子コメント)

Sounds like /r/SubredditDrama has it's own drama.

[–]UberThetan 38ポイント39ポイント  (9子コメント)

That place along with other "reddit self-awareness" subreddits like /r/shitredditsays seems to experience ever declining levels of ... self-awareness, ironically. They don't hold a mirror up to the rest of reddit, they just want to feel superior and whenever things don't work out you see the mods going into overdrive. Too cool for reddit, but still here somehow.

[–]Forest-G-Nome 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yup. /u/JebusGobson is the Censor and Chief of that sub. You see him come in and remove shit all the god damn time for the most bullshit excuses. "Oh it's not dramatic enough" being the most common, even on posts with over 100 comments. Nope, not big enough.

In reality I'm pretty sure he's just deleting everything that lies on the wrong side of his interests, especially if it's drama about a sub he moderates. Watching him come on and ruin popular posts on Shit Americans Say is equally as great. He gets butthurt all the time in that sub.

That's what all mods on that sub do and they approve a comment once the user ping is gone. You can still mention the people involved without pinging them.

But jebus specifically doesn't approve them later.

    We don't allow /u summons in SRD because users were using them to ping people involved in linked drama to fight with them in SRD, trying to avoid the "no brigading" rule.

    If you remove a /u ping, we reapprove the comment. All you have to do is respond to the mod who removed it with a "fixed" message or something of that nature.

    [–]TryUsingScience 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Oh, so the moderators removed the post because it had almost no information in it.

    [–]DominarRygelThe16th 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I wasn't making any claims as to why it was removed. I was simply sharing a tool so people can see content that has been removed.

    [–]TryUsingScience 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Yeah, I appreciate that. It's the OP and other commenters who got all "mods are ruining reddit" about it without even wondering if maybe it was deleted for a good reason.

    It hit 80k users and was trending pretty heavily, pretty sure there were only 30k users a week ago.

    [–]bigkr88 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I'm not sure what a deleted profile looks like, but is having all the post and comment history cleared out consistent with what a ban or shadowban from reddit itself looks like? Not trying to start rumors or shit, I mean hell I was one of the guys who applied for moderator status for that sub, I'm just curious.

    [–]Forest-G-Nome 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

    A deleted/shadowbanned account shows up like the account cannot be found. An account with all comments deleted (AKA one pruned to be sold) exists, has karma, but has 0 listed submissions and comments.

    Doing this well also allow the account to hold on to the subreddit. If he deleted the account somebody could request the sub. This situation screams sellout.

    If you mean get it back the normal way via /r/redditrequest, there's this rule:

    Subreddits aren't considered "abandoned" if any mod has been active anywhere on reddit in the past 60 days.

    the top mod who removed the other mods is still active.

      I know that's pretty far-fetched but it would make sense, and we've seen similar cases of it happening in the past with other similar mediums (like So-Flo-Bro).

      Someone probably hired a grey market reputation manager, reputation manger probably hired someone to deal with the sub. - Meaning they hijacked an admin account and deleted the sub.

      Sub won't be gone forever, but under the abandoned sub guidelines it will be gone for 60 days. That's plenty long enough.

      IOC is shady as shit and they defend their brand in a manner that makes Disney look like a bunch of meek cowards. Would not put it past them. Could also be anyone else that's got money on the line, and the Rio games are pretty much a poster boy for general corruption.

      Really the IOC is terrible and corrupt. They have been forever. Wonder if the US will step in and lay down some legal beatings the likes of which were given to FIFA.
