On Mod Removal from v/videos (videos)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

@THC was removed as moderator from v/videos for the following reasons:

  1. Used a @system subverse as a personal platform

  2. Defacing the subverse CSS

@InnocentBystander was removed as designer on v/videos for maliciously modifying the subverse CSS in response to @THC's removal.

We decided to leave the sticky up since @THC felt so strongly about this that he would consider using a @system sub as a soapbox an acceptable course of action.

@Cynabuns doesn't have the power or authority to remove moderators and neither did she request either of you to be removed.

Bottom line is you thought v/videos was your personal subverse to do with as you please. You had issues with Voat asking for Janitors on @system subs and had issues when admins stepped in due to poor handling in the past.

You forced us to remove you and I'm more confident than not that this is the outcome you desired and why you did what you did.

PARAPHRASING: the whole 'is the ddos thing'

so is it ddos or broke or both?

tells one person one thing, and says a different thing at a different time?

what?

if that's the easier thing, why does it make any sense to remove 100,000s of pages when it's easier to just query a few

MIND YOU putt said it was bots requesting high non-existant page numbers, sir. like https://voat.co/user/akuta/comments?page=8764568734256872587632476

i'm not asking if you said that

i'm asking if you think he's saying that

so cloudflare does NOT handle dbdos attacks?

then it's all on them, and i can understand having to make compromises with limited financial support.

and we get past all this fucking noize to the problem:

they didn't give us any time to back up our data, save our comment histories, nothing!

they didn't give us notice, ask if maybe some smart coder had a solution that was better for this... NOTHING

a huge massive resource of people they say they'll discuss major changes with BEFOREHAND

and now they're just doing things without telling us that effect all of us and are at issue with some of us..

THAT's the fucking problem

because clearly

section two of the user agreement says they can more than just remove access to the comments, they can delete them at will for any reason at any time.

and legally, they are well within their rights to reserve that sweeping statement.

they like benevolent dictators don't ever exercise that power and we loved them for it, but now they are doing it without telling us.
