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.

temporarily

how long?

why no discussion? why hide it, why not make an announcement? why are the brigades trying to silence any conversation about it? and now atko has removed a mod for talking about it?

the problem

ok, MY problem. thanks for that correction.

read user agreement section "content"

You retain the rights to your copyrighted content or information that you submit to Voat ("user content")

my rights? rights to my content? does that include right to access my content?

that's a legit as fuck question right there. i don't know. i'd venture i do have a right to access my content, probably except for special circumstances that require such actions as this be taken,

and then i defer back to MY problem that there was no notification no warning no discussion with the community at all and any talk of it has been silenced by the cabal and the admin has now removed a mod for speaking up about it - using the default sub to notify users of the change to their ability to access their content to which 'they retain rights to'

go look up what benevolent dictators are.

it's not that they aren't able/allowed to dictate, it's that they totally can but choose not to exercise that power against the community wishes.

and now they are.
