Buttery!Progressively escalating continuum strikes back as /r/sports mods delete a top of /r/all post and threaten action against /r/cricket. A small subreddit /r/CricketShitpost goes private and its mod team gets suspended by admins. (self.SubredditDrama)

RaylanCrowder が 投稿x2

Sit Tight; This is a long one.

This Sunday, /r/Cricket users got excited during a special cricketing moment, A really stunning catch by one of the most famous cricketer, Steve Smith and They posted a streamable of that on /r/sports claiming "Unbelievable catch in cricket!!"

Reddit:- https://np.reddit.com/r/sports/comments/5ger8e/unbelievable_catch_in_cricket/

Ceddit:- http://ceddit.com/r/sports/comments/5ger8e/unbelievable_catch_in_cricket/

This post reaches top of /r/all and was removed by /r/sports mods claiming it referenced the older drama with /r/AFL. /r/cricket users were understandably furious and posted a bunch of posts bashing /r/sports mods.

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5gfq6u/did_rsports_remove_the_post_on_smiths_catch/

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5gfp37/welp_the_rsports_thread_just_got_removed_was_fun/

Some r/CricketShitPost mods, a subreddit dedicated to cricket memes, apparently made the r/CricketShitPost private(to stop lurking r/sports mods) to discuss how to tackle the r/sports mods.

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5gfp37/welp_the_rsports_thread_just_got_removed_was_fun/daryvfh/

/r/CricketShitpost is still private.

Things went quite for the Sunday night, but come Monday and /r/sports mods threaten /r/cricket mods with "Action". /r/cricket mods warn their users.

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5giaho/rcricket_and_rsports/

Things keep cooking in /r/CricketShitPost as one of the mods reddit-requests /r/Worldsports to, "end the /r/sports monopoly over sports on cricket"

https://np.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/5gm1cz/rworldsports_has_been_inactive_for_a_long_time/

The /r/CricketShitPost Mods go on and complain about /r/sports mods on /r/subredditcancer.

https://np.reddit.com/r/subredditcancer/comments/5gn7ob/rsports_mods_deleted_a_cricket_post_that_reached/

Then today, there was another game and it was sure that cricket users will go and post something to /r/sports, r/sports mods were ready to fire and reportedly banned and shadow-banned countless r/CricketShitPost & r/Cricket users.

In the Match Thread, One of r/Cricket user tries to explain Shitposting culture to apparently lurking Reddit Admins and /r/sports mods.

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5gq929/match_thread_australia_vs_new_zealand_at_manuka/daua1pr/

Faceplanting picture appears everywhere on the Match Threads, as a protest or as a meme(It was hard to tell). Both /r/Cricket and /r/CricketShitPost sported the faceplanting picture in their respective sidebars.

Shortly thereafter, many of users who commented on /r/sports bashing threads earlier were being given bans from /r/sports without giving any reason.

https://np.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/5gq929/match_thread_australia_vs_new_zealand_at_manuka/dauf7i5/

Reportedly, half of the /r/CricketShitPost mod team were handed temp/perm suspensions.

Some, very limited no of users, were seen using /r/pansysports (currently banned but archived as http://archive.is/ZFGqN) as a protest to the suspensions handed to /r/CricketShitPost mods team.

TLDR; /r/sports mods deleted a cricket post from top of /r/all, and /r/Cricket users went furious. /r/CricketShitPost got involved, and went private to stop lurking /r/sports mods. /r/CricketShitPost users posted to /r/sports today and were handed suspensions/bans.

Nice work, OP.

Here's a link to the AFL drama for anyone who missed it, given it's important context for this debacle.

The popularity of the Smith thread was enough to rate a mention in the MSM, so deleting it is a pretty big step.

The popularity of the Smith thread was enough to rate a mention in the MSM, so deleting it is a pretty big step.

So I read through the AFL drama and still don't get why the post was removed.

[–]Donners22[🍰] 117 ポイント118 ポイント  (29子コメント)

/r/sports mods were a bit sensitive to references to that incident and being brigaded by Australians.

Having a thread about an Australian cricketer at the top, populated by quite a few people riled up over the AFL incident - and, to be fair, being inclined to shitpost in the thread and either obliquely or directly reference the AFL incident - apparently caused the mods some angst.

It's worth noting that /r/cricket is very liberal on shitposting, but /r/sports mods may have taken that as an attack on that sub.

[–]WeimarWebinar 226 ポイント227 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Isn't banning Australians from shitposting basically racist? They can't help themselves.

seriously tho, prety sure most sports subs lean towards shitposts and general fun with a generous serving of salt. /r/nba is my favourite, such a chill place (well, most of the time). /r/nfl hates fun tho

A lot of people come from 4chans /sp/ board where shitposting is taken to a ridiculous level. /sp/ shitposters gave the janitors on 4chan a really hard time and apparently even caused one of them to quit because of the stress/time commitment.

    Quote unquote brigading too. As far as I'm aware, there was no formal agreeance from the /r/AFL users to go over there, it just sort of happened when we got a peek at what Jeepy Boy had been sending the /r/AFL mods

    [–]ECGuiseppe 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (8子コメント)

    Thank you, I think I get it now. So because of the past, the r/sports mods weren't going to deal with deleting a shit ton of comments that were shitposting in that thread and instead nuked it.

    Real shame that neither side can act like adults in this situation because that catch was dope.

      Really, to completely remove the (at the time) #1 post on r/all, because some people in the comments were referencing memes from their native subreddit, is just straight up childish and really reflects poorly on the moderators over at r/sports.

      To then follow that up with blanket bans on any and all cricket related coverage in the following days is just petty.

        r/afl is the one of the only subreddits i frequent on a regular basis and the main r/sports mod involved in that drama was pretty childish.

        This is the modmail that started the whole thing off

        There was also an instance of him finding a comment from a regular subscriber of /afl on a completely unrelated subreddit where they were talking about their mental health just to comment: 'lol'

            How would we go about getting it removed as a default until a better sports sub or better mods come along? Wasn't r/athiesm once a default and that got removed.

            Aw man, /r/atheism used to be a premium drama mine. Aalewis single-handedly changed the meaning of "euphoric" on this website. Socrates died for our one-click maymays. The removal as a default was a worthy buttery culmination, but it hasn't been the same since.

                  There was some thread about interesting facts from random sports and the top was that the fucking Warriors blew a 3-0 lead or something like that. That was not removed. However a comment about cricketing legend Don Bradman's extraordinary average of 99.94 was removed.

                  The top post yesterday was some bullshit low effort shit called RefLife and the comment section was full of stupid memes. No action.

                      I'm a bit confused. Cricket AND AFL are "sports". We learn them in school. USA people learn baseball, tball, merican footy, etc in school.

                      I mean sure just ban all the rest of our cool sports, and just have /sports for USA sport (and sports played on the reg in the USA), and make a new sub for "everywhereBUTtheusasports" - where everyone BUT the usa can post their sports.

                      That said though it feels very childish to kick people off because of their love of shitposting AND sport. I understand the shitpost bit but the sport bit? Nah.

                      This is complicated drama. On the one hand, the mods for the sports sub do seem like whiney babies. On the other hand, a lot of those cricket folks have a real complex about American sports leagues. So that's pretty entertaining.

                      Think its been brewing for quite some time with the sports mods having constant issues with non-american sports. Constantly mis-tagging or misnaming them other sports. They also refuse to acknowledge AFL as a professional sports. However widening the issue to cricket has just made it a bigger issue as it opens up to a lot of people from wider nations. As said cricket is the 2nd biggest sport in the world

                      The other thing is that a lot of the folks at /r/Cricket are tired of the inevitable mocking posts when a Cricket-related thread shows up in /r/Sports by non-fans (often Americans).

                      I understand that frustration but such threads on /r/Sports were always a good chance to introduce newbies to the game so it kinda sucked that the thread went the way it did.

                          I don't think "tall poppy syndrome" is really a phrase that we use. I think an American would be more likely to refer to crabs in a bucket. There's also the old saying about how the tall nail gets hammered down, but that means something a bit different.

                          Of major concern was the fact that U.S. military pay was considerably higher than that of the Australian military and U.S. military uniforms were seen as more appealing than those of the Australians. This resulted in U.S. servicemen not only enjoying greater success in their pursuit of the few available women but also led to many Americans marrying Australian women, facts greatly resented by the Australians.

                          Hahahaha. Ok, come on. That's hilarious.

                          I also liked the part about the Americans habit of "caressing in public" (i.e. PDA) being offensive. I would have expected Australia to be more sexually liberated than the U.S., but I guess you guys were pretty close with the U.K. and they're pretty stoic.

                          I think New Zealand has more cause to dislike us since, when a similar event happened there, it was caused by US servicemen being racist sacks of shit.

                          Apparently in N.Z ,Australia and the U.K during WWII, a lot of the local soldiers and public were shocked and appalled at the racist treatment of black US servicemen by their white counterparts. For Australia that is surprising, given that Australia was incredibly racist back in the day.

                            We speak the same language so it's easier to be hostile with one another

                            Our reasons probably arent that dissimilar to Canada's. American cultural invasion, little brother syndrome, the kardashians.

                            Wow, who would have expected Australia to be more likely to refer to crabs in a Jeep Accident yesterday.

                            I should add they went and locked several no American sports threads including one of mine which was a highlight reel of the recent rugby union autumn internationals

                            Yep, no oversight of mods or punishment for them stepping out of line. Happening a lot recently, although I can't comment on the other bits according to the mods in this subreddit. Soviet Union was a bastion of free speech compared to Reddit atm.
