Recap"Remember to Unsubscribe" An /r/NatureisMetal tale of mod purge, rantpologies, community outrage, and 7,000 subscriber casualties. (self.SubredditDrama)

[deleted] が 投稿

Before the post: 229,395 subs according to RedditMetrics

Now: 222,029 subs

The Day Before Yesterday

The subreddit had been declining for a while, many of the moderators had been inactive for months. There would be a post every day or so.

A user is fed up and posts this image.

"This subreddit is trash now.
The mods don't moderate.
You can't even use the word "mod" in your title.
The content has gone downhill,
and people have stopped posting.

Upvote if you agree, it doesn't matter.
This will go to the top because there are no other posts.
Remember to unsubscribe.

A very good copypasta, though from my research, completely original.

It sets in motion the following events.

Remember to Unsubscribe

As predicted in the posted image, the post did remain up. At the #1 spot of the subreddit, though at a steady 0 points.

The comments discussed moderator neglect, unsubscribing immediately, migrating to the newer /r/natureisfuckinglit.

And leave they did. In droves.

As the post sat at the #1 spot with a negative point value, other users began to post gore. Human gore.

As the subreddit filled with human gore, users could not decide which they would rather see, the gore or the shit post. Many simply left.

This continued for at least 6 hours.

The Mod Awakening

At some point, the top moderator of the subreddit, /u/kforrest59, awoke. He saw what had become of his festering subreddit and moved to strike down these posts. And so he did. And so they were stricken.

He then began a purge. Five moderators, wiped clean into nothingness. A wise move? Perhaps. A panicked one? Without doubt.

Hours passed with no new posts, and then, "I Failed You"

The now-deleted rantpology (a mix between rant and apology) contained the personal struggle of /u/kforrest59, and his wishes to reclaim the subreddit as a force of good. For viewing animals be disemboweled.

The comments were supportive, the subreddit banded together in solidarity.

Users began to offer their aid. "Can I be a mod?", "I volunteer!", they begged.

But in all the commotion, the one active moderator was removed. /u/DageParty. He asked for an explanation, any at all.

/u/kforrest59 did not respond, but /u/DageParty was added back. After three new moderators joined...

The Day Yester

A post appeared January 31st. "New Moderators" by /u/DageParty

"Hi all, we've added some new moderators to the team recently and would like to be transparent with the community.

In order of addition, /u/Gumby234, /u/Iamnotburgerking, /u/theobanger, and /u/BlueMerling.

These new additions should help us keep a better watch over the subreddit.

Thanks all, we'll try to do more updates over time."

This confused many. These were not the names that had volunteered the day prior.

Users questioned this move, as it was questionable.

Two of the new moderators had never commented or submitted in the subreddit before.

One had, often, but brought issues of his own.

One, added later than the other three, had some qualification. An undergraduate degree in biology. She was beyond reproach.

As Drama Stirs, it Boils

As the moderator that made the announcement, /u/DageParty also fielded questions. The primary of which being "What the fuck, guys? Who dese new fellas?"

To which /u/DageParty had no answer, as the moderators had been added prior to his reinstatement. /u/kforrest59 had not bothered to ask any of the remaining mod team.

/u/DageParty remarked that because he had lost his position on the mod list, he could do nothing to regulate or restrict the new additions.

The users were furious. It seemed there was no reason the new hires were chosen when so many users were vastly more qualified.

And there wasn't.

For one of the new moderators spoke, for the first time in 4 fortnights.

"I asked."

"I offered /u/kforrest59 to help him out, and told him when I was available to moderate, and he added me. I admit I was a bit surprised when he made me a moderator, but I'll do the best I can without any reddit-drama (I hope!)."

This of course, infuriated users more. I asked? I.. asked? In a subreddit with more than 200,000 users, all one had to do is ask to be a mod?

/u/kforrest59 was again the villain. Users bashed him side to side like the stern of a small sloop in a storm.

He remained silent though.

More users left for safer waters. Some simply ceased living to escape the dread.

That really nice mod I mentioned earlier introduced herself.

Have It Your Way

The one active new addition mentioned prior did not have a clean sheet himself. He was a previously banished from /r/natureismetal, and for good reason.

A user recounted,

"Aren't you the guy that made a post in /r/subredditcancer about /r/natureismetal?

Ninja edit: Yeah,found it.

https://np.reddit.com/r/subredditcancer/comments/5lm30w/got_banned_from_rnatureismetal/

You don't really seem like a good choice."

His name was /u/IAmNotBurgerKing. Clearly a lover of gore, as the community attracts, he had a bad past.

"... you lied directly to me [/u/DageParty] about the repost. That is why you received a ban."

According to the veteran moderator, removed on accident and reinstated, IAmNotBurgerKing had reposted in the subreddit before, lied about it, and when confronted with evidence, received a temporary ban.

Which he promptly went to complain about in /r/subredditcancer.

As one can imagine, a user with a bad history in a subreddit - suddenly modded and given supreme power - immediately went to work abusing it.

As users became critical of him too, he began to report comments criticizing him as "Reveals personal information".

Petty? Absolutely. But not without comeuppance. See as he had never been a moderator, he knew not that moderator reports were not anonymous.

/u/DageParty caught him up to speed.

"/u/iamnotburgerking, did you honestly just report this comment as "Reveals personal information"?

You know we can see the names of moderators that report comments, right?

This is not personal information, it is a post you made publicly.

Ridiculous."

In response, all IAmNotBurgerKing could muster was, "If it was criticism for the right reason I wouldn't report it."

Because as one knows, criticism is not valid if you disagree with it.

He then felt the need to explain his seedy past in the subreddit with his own mod post, (since he could now do that.)

The thread explained his past in detail for all of one minute before it was deleted. /u/DageParty informed him this again was an abuse of power.

For some additional reason, he chose to submit the one comment on his history post to /r/bestof. Perhaps for karma, or simply validation.

This submission was not received well and quickly fizzled.

Epilogue

At the end of this long day of drama, /u/kforrest59 gave in to the userbase and removed all three of the newly added moderators.

No response has been given to the requests for a resignation.

/u/BlueMerling can stay, of course, since she is very nice.

This is where our story comes to a close for now. Please pick up your popcorn and trash on the way to the exit.

    It's a shame you couldn't image grab the post by kforrest59 from yesterday. He basically apologized to the whole community and said the sub had gone super downhill and he was going to try to do better. I thought it was a pretty great post and he discussed how the sub was meant to show the raw power of nature, not just a lion chewing on a buffalo's balls.

    Then he went and fucked it all up by hiring shit mods.

    [–]thraway500 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    /r/NatureIsFuckingLit has been warring with /r/NatureIsMetal for a bit now. A few weeks ago an account made an /r/OutOfTheLoop post asking Why is everyone leaving /r/natureismetal for /r/natureisfuckinglit?.

    Most of this is now deleted, maybe someone can pull the old comments...

    As soon as the post went up the mods of /r/NatureIsFuckingLit made sticky mod comments on their front page posts linking to the OofL post and asking their users to go upvote the post and post good comments about their sub there. Here is an example of one of those mod comments asking for the brigade (mod comment now deleted but you can infer from the replies what the topic was).

    In the OotL thread, a mod from /r/NatureIsMetal posted their side of the story and was attacked by several users and heavily downvoted when they accused him of linking his sub on posts in other subreddits. It's the string of 12 deleted comments at the bottom of the post.

    The /r/OutOfTheLoop mods locked the post after I sent them a message about the /r/NatureIsFuckingLIt sub begging their users to brigade that thread.

    Damn. I am subbed to r/natureismetal and I had no idea this was all happening. I agree that the content has slowly been becoming just cool nature things, but was the sub really slowing down that much? I like r/NatureIsFuckingLit, but it doesn't get to the real nitty gritty of nature that often. I think both of the subs could coexist if the NiM mods weren't so apparently inept.

    [–][deleted] 72 ポイント73 ポイント  (19子コメント)

    That seems to be the complaint mentioned most in these threads.

    /r/natureisfuckinglit has sprung up and filled a nature niche Reddit had no community for prior, though the truly bloodlusted it does not satiate.

    Users are now scrabbling for a new wild animal fighting subreddit to join.

    [–]Nipru 34 ポイント35 ポイント  (6子コメント)

    There's a sub called /r/crittervscritter run by the mod that started /r/natureisfuckinglit.

    It's basically /r/natureismetal, but could use a few more subscribers.

    [–][deleted] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (6子コメント)

    They have a whole network set up for many different topics.

    Only /r/EarthPorn was made a default though. It gives some hope to /r/natureisfuckinglit, that they don't shy away from weird or offensive names being defaulted.

    Whenever I think of something being "lit", I tend to think of it as chill, i.e. chilling out, which might not be correct, but hey. And whenever I think of something being "metal" I think of extreme things, potentially with blood or gore involved. It sounds to me like they both could co-exist very well. :\

    [–]LikeIsaidPotato 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Lit is mostly for anything that's cool, heck it can even be used for general positive saying to things. It's very broad.

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

    Lit in my area is almost exclusively used for something wild or had a bunch of people. Like "the bars were lit last night" or "tbell is lit on a Tuesday for some reason"

    [–]Zillatamer 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Whenever I think of something being "lit", I tend to think of it as chill, i.e. chilling out, which might not be correct, but hey.

    It usually means cool but in an exciting way, so not really chill. You'd say "this party is lit as fuck man" if everyone's being loud, active and having lots of fun and "that party was pretty chill" to say it was enjoyable and relaxing.

    I used to love that sub. I had the top post of all time until the new voting system was enacted (damn you admins!!). It showed some really fun stuff and beautifully displayed the raw power of nature.

    Some good moderation and a new surge of users could really boost that sub tbh. Especially if they get rid of the automatic nsfw tags. Some of the best and most representative posts of all time were SFW- like the gorilla charging the zoo glass at an incredible speed. Or the whales using teamwork and waves to knock a seal off of an iceberg.

    Now it's just shit and gore.

    [–][deleted] 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I believe the NSFW tags were voted on by the community actually. They serve more as a general umbrella to weigh content equally rather than a requirement submissions be bloody.

    That could totally be the case, I've only been there for a year or two. I was going off of the head mods post yesterday where he said he wanted to see (and Im paraphrasing from a bad memory) more powerful nature (powerful storms, crazy fast animals, etc.) and that he felt that was the core of the sub.

    But you know what? Bad moderation has always been a thing there. Its no wonder we have such different views.

We recently added dageparty as a mod, where he almost immediately added a secret automod clause to remove all of burgerkings posts as spam (not that all of burgerkings posts are good, but the move was entirely unwarranted at the time). Apparently these guys have some serious beef that's been going for awhile.

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

    From what I have been reading to prepare this, it seems wholly justified to dislike iamnotburgerking. Childish in every sense of the word.

    It's likely DageParty was aware of this prior to setting protection in your subreddit as well.

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

    Well, in counter of that, burgerking has actually put up some pretty good posts in the last couple of days. I don't react until something actually goes wrong, and even then I'm hesitant to permanently ban/disable a user.

    [–][deleted] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I'll agree to that at least. He posts good content. Just extremely unfit to be a moderator.

    [–]TheBurningEmu 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Agreed. He applied along with dageparty, but we didn't accept him

    Take solace in knowing you are wiser than the mod of a huge subreddit then.

    Your community is interesting, by the way, but likely needs more frequent content if you expect growth.

    [–]TheBurningEmu 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah I know. Way back when, I was pretty much the only poster, trying to keep it alive myself. It's been picking up a bit recently, which is great. I need to get back into the flow myself, it's been too long

    What the heck is even going on? I'm somewhat active on that sub and I don't see this decline. I do see frequent posts of the same photo time to time but my God it wasn't that bad lol. Seems like when the human gore made an appearance that's when the owner panicked because he/she could probably lose his account in some way.

    [–]lumpytuna 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    yeah, I really like the sub, don't see the problem and was also a bit confused by the "I failed you" post.

    There was a bit of a problem with people posting 'feeding' videos, domestic animals and zoo stuff for a while, but that had been mostly sorted out.

    I think the rival subreddit might have been trying to cause a bit of drama or something.

    [–]AllisonRages 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I never even heard of this natureisfuckinglit sub. I just remember finding natureismetal a couple months ago through the random function. All this drama from just wanting to look at animals tearing each other apart lol.

      top-edit: The user above me mentioned they have now added iamnotburgerking back as a mod, but used a ping so it was removed.

      Apparently they've had the brilliant idea of inviting him back.

      I would page the moderators to ponder why, but that is strictly not allowed in this subreddit.

      Perhaps send the team a modmail inquiry.

      Wait, but what were the mods doing initially that made everyone so mad? I'm missing something.

      [–][deleted] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Not moderating the subreddit, apparently. It is what allowed the Remember to Unsubscribe post stay up for so long.

      When I got to the part where burgerking reported comments pointing out his post history and then his awful text post I figured he would have been de-modded. So I scrolled down to check.

      Nope, still a goddamned mod.

      Edit: Apparently he was de-modded and then re-modded.

      To really sum it up... metal is out...lit is in?

      For me, in HS, "That was fucking metal dude!" was at least somewhat popular. I'm guessing that is no longer the case as everything is lit these days? Why not nature too right?

      que /metalmemes and this one in particular

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

      Fantastic breakdown, had no clue this was going on, I understand mods work for free but that is pretty fucked up.

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

      Well, we see. It was actually pretty interesting when things were working. Rarely you see the nature as it is. It's a harsh reality out there.

      To bad it went sideways. The real proble was that people startet posting just pics of animals "look how cool is this bird!" and it made more hardcore users upset. Mods, as usual said "FUCK INTEGRITY! LOOK AT THOSE SUBS!" and did nothing, so subreddit lost it niche and begun to slow down.

      But on the other hand, there are not so many metal gory things to keep it very active with hourly submissions if you discourage reposts.

      Somewhat similar to what happend couple of yers ago with a small sub about game glitches gifs(I can't remember how it's called). At first it was really gifs if glitches, later it became more popular and new people just started posting lots and lots of gifs of just funny game stuff that are not glitches. Mods did nothing and old userbase started to unsub.

      /r/NatureisMetal is a subreddit to view animals eat and kill each other.

      Nature is more fucking lit than metal, in my opinion anyway.

      I have been completely unaware of any of this, but I feel like I just watched a short docudrama on something I previously gave no shits about but now find myself wondering if there is a wikipedia article where I can read more! Well written, many chuckles.
