On Mod Removal from v/videos

submitted 8.3 years ago by PuttItOut

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

Used a @system subverse as a personal platform
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.

You've got the right to run this place however you want. Fine.
This could all have been avoided with a little communication or transparency.

You had issues with Voat asking for Janitors on @system subs

I've never had any objection to L3s. Just questions. My history is (still) there for anyone to check.

and had issues when admins stepped in due to poor handling in the past.

I have never objected to past interventions by the admins. I was usually part of the call for it. Again, what's left of my history will support that. Some stuff in /v/videosModTalk as well.

Whatever, though. You can do as you please. But own it, and communicate, or you wont have much of a site left if people stop trusting you.
The shady and unaccountable actions need to end.

I've said my piece, so I am done now.
