AssuredlyAThrowAway is a holdover from /r/conspiracy.

he's had good moments.

But revels in causing sub drama.

not buying this.

Can't argue with that, but I commented because. . .well you know why. I don't have to explain it to you—you apparently can think!

If someone has been here a year odds are they are not going to read the FAQ. When was the last time you read thew FAQ at reddit? (assuming you have been there a while)

I take it they never talked with you before covertly stealing the sub from you?

That is fucked up juvenile reddit style bullshit that has absolutely no place on Voat. No place at all.

This is actually something @atko needs to nip in the bud. Besides, I think a mod should get a 'warning' (for lack of a better word) before a sub that they created is covertly stolen (and that is the best word) from them. @moe you taking a smarmy tone and telling @assuredlyathrowaway to "read the FAQ" is fucking bullshit bro. People like you need to get the fuck out of here if that is the kind of shit you are going to play at.

EDIT- tweaks for clarity.

@AssuredlyAThrowAway, the site rules about how subverses are transferred are pretty clear: post and comment at least once a month in the subverse you are owner of. There's nothing in it about admin discretion in picking and choosing - and even if there were, it is entirely possible the admin chose to hand it to the other user.

None of the points you make about a free speech zone actually matter. While I agree it would be a shame if what you describe is true, the subverse request was done properly, following all applicable rules. Even if the new mod is a total shit head, who enjoys punching kittens in his spare time, it doesn't change the fact that he/she used the appropriate channels to request your sub.

I don't think your ignorance of the rules surrounding that is really a defense.

Also, it seems that /u/PuttItOut replied to you on this matter, saying he would "double check" over 3 hours ago. Two hours before you submitted this thread. So what exactly are you hoping to accomplish with this post?

@atko, make your choice bro.

So why is this a sticky on /v/conspiracy? I feel like this could have been addressed in a much more efficient way.

I personally feel, that this is neither /v/conspiracy related, nor does it seem like a post worthy of being a sticky.

I don't get the issue. You were inactive in the sub?

Hi, one of the new mods for /v/NotTheOnion here. I don't mean any disrespect, but I have no clue what you mean by the subverse having its rules changed. The thing is, /v/NotTheOnion had no rules or anything on the sidebar at all for that matter. The CSS and siderbar for the subverse were completely blank. You had no "free speech policy" as you put it, on the sub at all. Also, the ways you went about messaging me and the other mod was... interesting to say the least. You say this is a "friendly offer" but it does not appear that way in the slightest. I will agree with you that you were active on Voat itself, however, when it came to you to /v/NotTheOnion you were in no way active. From looking at your post and comment history, as well as the mod logs seen here and here there was no activity whatsoever by you or any of the other former mods.

Let us speak no more of faith in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of cryptography.

Voat is presently better than reddit, but nothing is stopping it from falling just as hard if not harder.

Shouldn't the same be said for those requesting to take over a sub? I mean you'd think that @putitout should at least make an attempt to contact @assuredlyathrowaway first before putting in a request to take over the sub, right? If it was me, I would be upset that someone didn't at least attempt to contact me before making the default mod change request to Atko, especially with those who are active on Voat in general.

Exactly man.

I just fully quit reddit today.

Thanks man :)

I know atko, when things calm down, will be able to see what's happening here.

Human intellect is important. Rules can't cover every situation.

Just a thought, but did you try communicating with "@putitout" before (or since) making a big public issue out of it? Imagine this scenario—your neighbors throw a party and they are a little loud. You have a couple of options, the first is to go talk to them and ask them to tone it down. If you do that they will probably state they didn't know, are sorry and quiet down. The second is to call the cops, who usually come and do what you should have done (unless the partiers are black, in which case they're fucked). The result is a pissed off neighbor and a polarized community. Now, reach out and repair this relationship so we don't have stupid shit clogging up the front page.

That is a mod who is proud of stealing subreddits from others (he stole /v/worldnews from @soverignman) and replacing free speech with curated spaces.

That's dangerous.

But if you want another defaultmod/snoonet inner circle then fine, have it your way.

But don't cry to me when every fucking subverse is run by those pricks on alts. I'm doing my best here, and (ask anyone who is not a prick) I am very cordial with users who do not attempt to censor others.

I am unapologetic about shutting down assholes who claim to censor for "moral reasons". If you don't like it, then so be it.

You hadn't made a single comment in the subverse... ever. None of the mods had.
You've been here for 1.1 years — maybe this is a good time for you to read the FAQ.

When is a sub considered inactive/abandoned?

While Voat is in alpha, we will be freeing up unused/inactive subs by deleting them or transferring them to users who submit a subverse transfer request in /v/subverserequest. As a subverse owner, at least once a month, you should start at least one discussion in your sub, or submit at least one link to your sub. Furthermore, at least once a month, you should submit at least one comment to a discussion/link posted in your sub. If you fail to do anything of the above, your sub will be considered as abandoned/inactive and it may be deleted or transferred to another user which makes a request in /v/subverserequest.

As an example of how a subreddit transition was done right, @mumberthrax came into run this sub, understood it's ethos of free speech, and has been a wonderful moderator.

What this piece of shit new mod did in /v/nottheonion was fucked, and it came (strangely) a few days after the mods from reddit's /r/nottheonion asked me to add them to the mod team.

@atko, this is why you need a community manager who knows what is going on in the meta on both subs.

Bro, I'm beginning you to bring me on pro bono.
