Fuck the /r/conspiracy moderators (conspiracy)

submitted ago by left_one

If Reddit is done, let's move on. Let's not let those mods in to control this place. I'm resurrecting my name here because I posted on /r/conspiracy for years with the name until I was banned for pointing out how moderators like flytape behave like small-children as opposed to mature adults.

I know not everyone will agree with me, but the mods there were no different than bipolarbear, they are just playing different personalities.

Let's have a discussion forum where people can share their ideas free of worry that they might offend people like 9ksins.

Let's have moderators that write in english at a level higher than 3rd grade. Let's have moderators that don't resort to rhetorical fallacies and actually maintain consistent arguments.

Also we should be able to vote for mods, similarly to remove them.

THIS! Moderators should be elected. And recalls should be possible.

I had in mind to place election mechanism for recalling and voting in moderators. Community should not have to suffer because 1 individual went rogue.

Something like being able to start election threads in a special subverse where tags could be used like [recall] [conspiracy] [moderatorname] or [elect] [conspiracy] [usernamehere]. I'm listening :)

Also, to be able to oust absentee subverse mod squatters. The top mods on a bunch of subreddits have almost no interaction with them, r/conspiracy being a prime example

Such as illuminatedwax? I agree. The sub should belong to the subscribers, more than the user that created it... No one mod should be 'all powerful' with the ability to wipe out the entire mod list on a whim.

I like this idea. Is there a subverse around for discussing features like this? Maybe we should make that a default sub during the early days so that everyone can have input.

There needs to be some way to make sure all the users of a subverse see the recall, so I'm not sure putting them in another subverse is a good idea. Also need to figure out a timeline, as well as what makes a recall successful.

Thanks! I will make a temporary default sub where people can voice their ideas for features that whoaverse should have.
