I know it's not been the whole 6 months we discussed last time, but it is indeed time to talk about the RULES.
As you all know, we have a place for meta talk about the rules and the mods, /v/pizzagatemods. It's not overly public, and it's not the most elegant solution to cluttering the front page here, but that's what we have.
This sticky is here because the usual monthly concern-trolling, and @Millenium_Falcon attacking by @ESOTERICshade gathered enough notice to warrant one.
This was the deleted post. This is the post I made with my findings on the issue.
As always, mods serve at the pleasure of the users of the subverse. Please make your voices heard.
This sticky is both a polling and a discussion. Discuss whatever, wherever, but the polling will function like this:
POLLING
On a base-level comment, type any of these numbers you agree with, in any order.
1 - Rules are fine, don't change them
2 - Mods are doing a good job, don't remove them
3 - Mods aren't doing enough, and need to recruit more mods, and remove more submissions.
4 - Mods are not doing a good job, we need to talk about removing them
5 - Rules are not fine, we need to change them
6 - Mods need to lighten up and let more things slide, let's talk about that.
7 - Try no rules and no moderation for a couple of weeks
8 - No rules and no moderation in perpetuity.
Millennial_Falcon
Millennial_Falcon seems to be a popular whipping boy here. Those that show up in /v/pizzagatemods with complaints tend to target him almost exclusively. The people attacking him seem to think they're not alone, but fail to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.
Keep in mind, your accusations and support for them will not just be taken at face value, like every accuser so far seems to have expected. They will be researched thoroughly, and if there is merit to them, something WILL be done. Please feel free to be the first to provide evidence of wrongdoing on his part.
And by all means, comment on any other mod you have an issue with. Hell, if you guys want ME gone, I'll hand over the reigns to whomever you think is worthy.
Poll will end on the 18th.
Oh,
9 - Stop asking us this crap for 6 months FOR REAL this time!

And if the people deciding what meets the guidelines aren't up to it then what? This sub of all subs reminds me the most of reddit where before you even think about posting you have to read a bunch of rules an arm long. Then, if you fuck up at all, you will get deleted at the whim of a few who think they know what is relevant. Any complaints are shuffled off to a side sub where only the mods can downvote and it seems at least one is abusing that. We fought against that shit when v/news an v/videos did it. The right thing has been done with the rules sticky here but I wonder if its too late. I know you have some skin in this game because you helped setup the system in the first place but things have moved on and the rules for posting need to be stripped back if they are hindering genuine users from posting.

If you hang around here enough you will that this gets gamed by Falcon. Just to "prove some sort of point" he will leave up slide threads knowing they need to be nuked, and then delete good threads by legit users on the slightest of technicalities.
Sometimes its like he WANTS to be called on it so that @crensch will blow in with the malignant narcissist routine and vindicate him so that he gets to be a victim. Its all pretty sick, tiring, needless, and petty.
His excuse is damn near "well I have to be fair and use the rules fairly and let the slide threads stay up too" blah blah blah...blahh...bhahhh...That is not exactly what he says but he may as well.
He either cannot, or WILL NOT mod properly. There is absolutely no common sense reason for some of the threads he deletes, none at all. Which means he either can't cut it or refuses to for some unknown reason.
