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.

I was speaking to the slanderous words the admins had for me painting me like I was threatening atko with a gun and to destroy voat if he didn't heed me. Not calling me @she.

Moving the goalposts. You said...

exactly what you're saying is happening to cyna

I said, in regards to what was happening towards Cynabuns...

People that want to smear folks and fling wild, unbased accusations, such as the folks that did so with @Cynabuns, will do so, regardless of the evidence, or as was in this case, lack thereof, regardless of what the accused person claims they did not do. I've noticed a new trend that mimics the "Literally Hitler" meme from our old Reddit stomping grounds, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth how frequently people jump to it, these days whenever drama starts. We'll call it "Literally She", since that was the phrase sometimes used. It does nothing to further the discussion, and is only meant, much like invoking Godwin's Law, to put the party being accused on the defensive.

There are two operative clauses, in regards to Cynabuns in the paragraph above. 1) People are making wild accusations about Cynabuns' behavior (Not applicable, because you admitted you did the behavior of which you are accused.) and 2) People are comparing Cyna to @She. Since the first clause cannot, by definition, be the subject, you are moving the goalposts.

I admitted I put up the sticky, I did not admit it was wrong.

So you admit you committed the behavior that got you de-modded, then. There it is, right there. You don't have to admit whether or not you thought it was wrong. That's not for you to decide. It's for the subverse owner to decide, and in the case of a System Sub, that falls to the admins. Fact remains, you admit to the behavior the Admins accuse you of, that got you de-modded. Whether you personally think it is wrong or not, is irrelevant. As I said before, I don't have to justify anything. You were accused of behavior that got you de-modded, you admitted to doing the deeds which you were accused of, and yet despite that, you still attempt to proclaim that the admins are "slandering" you, despite your admission to the contrary? Let me give you a protip...

IT'S NOT SLANDER WHEN THE CRIME OF WHICH YOU ARE ACCUSED OF COMMITTING, IS SOMETHING YOU ADMIT TO DOING!

Oh, also...

Gun to my head

If I have to explain figure of speeches to you, then you're even more inept at reasoning than you make yourself appear, here.
