META-ISSUE: 1 of the mod team on this sub is trying to shut down posts with post tags - EDIT: it's @kevdude (ProtectVoat)

i see 5 names on the list so that's 5 suspects. as a user of the sub, i request it that the mod whose giving those post flags out identify themselves.

"reddit mod troll" is 100% an attempt to discredit someone and their information. if it got labeled that, why is the post still at the top? clearly the votes of the users think that post flag is not valid.

EDIT: https://voat.co/v/ProtectVoat/3274898/19153916/

No. Crensch has proven to be a reddit mod and he is in here to troll this sub. Those posts are certainly serving zyklon with a dose of his own medicine, but he largely kept it out of PV. Make no mistake they want to serve him and possibly get this sub shut off they way the one with srayzie's pics did. Since we have no clue where the lines are for dox on the site, and TBH many of us aren't even sure whether that is him or false info he has given, so that was flaired "possible misinfo". If this were crensch's sub he would just delete it because it bothers him. We flair.

"Shutting it down" would be deleting it for "dox" (even though it is no different than what we have seen many times on the site) and then banning the user. And I am still of the opinion that they are all working together and this has been theater to whip up the redditors in GA to beg for the mod style their weak minds require and to attack PV for wanting to keep that moderation philosophy off of this site.

@kevdude is to blame

EDIT 2:

We have always flaired posts. Sorry you're mad. Perhaps go hang out on the sub where the mod team just deletes your stuff and bans you if they don't like you.

let it now be known that if you don't like his conduct, he wants you to leave. might i suggest v/ProtectGoats instead? (run by the guy kevdudes trying to fuck with)

EDIT 3: here's a snippet from my PMs illuminating his involvement more

"if you look at crenshs modlog and then support him whatever floats your boat"

i declare kevdude is now a rogue moderator, and should either have a heart-to-heart with his fellow mods or step down due to his inability to be impartial.

@Dismember @sguevar @cynoclast @Rainy-Day-Dream please be aware kevdude just lost the ability to be impartial, and may now be a liability to your mod team

respond to this message if you'll talk to him, just to assure the rest of us this is being dealt with

Well you are talking to him here in an open letter that everyone can read. The sub has always been open to anyone making a thread about the rules here. As far as the flairs go, I wouldn't take it personally especially with a flair like that. There's a lot of accusations fly when things get heated and its just a tag to let people know the information may or may not be true. There's no actual proof of it.

I'm not a fan of the possible misinfo flair though, because we have one already for that which is the unverified flair. Unverified is a lot more impartial and makes more sense to me. But let's see what everyone else thinks.

"reddit mod troll" may be slightly too petty and partisan for acceptable use.

is it reasonable to suggest removing said tag off @Crensch's post, deleting said tag from the sub options entirely, and having a good long talk with @kevdude about the fine line between shitposting and his actual role as a moderator, and that he should think carefully before pushing buttons randomly like that?

Well, there's a pretty obvious effort to troll back and forward between the Crensch mob and the Zyklon mob and a few others now, so that part of it at least is true. I'd personally be happy to flair most of it as drama but in the past we've had many, many people come here to troll and there is a distinction to be made. This is, at it's core, an archive sub so some flairing is necessary to sort the posts since we only delete duplicates and illegal stuff mainly.

I'm not sure about the origin of that flair but I believe it was made for someone who supports the reddit style of modding and is also here to stir shit up. I think it was used on Dial a bit. As far as deleting it, we'll see what everyone says.
