@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 really don't see how putting up a banner to advertise videos is different to doing it to gripe about how the site is being run? In /v/videos?

Right.
But his point is that put acting like putting up a banner was "maliciously modifying CSS." When its always been fine before, but this time it was pointing out a disagreement with mods.
I'm on the fence about all this. How could THC have politely showcased disapproval? Or should he just have shut up and modded the sub?
I guess he should have brought the issue forward on another sub.

It is maliciously modifying CSS to advertise your personal crusade. Doing it to highlight creative content is a completely different thing.
On /v/whatever, on /v/protectvoat, on /v/askvoat, on /v/voatdevs etc. And it's not that he wasn't aware of those options, he did voice dissent there, but it wasn't gathering the momentum he wanted so he started pushing it in /v/videos where it was off topic.

To be fair it gets buried everywhere.
Broc_Lia ago
Not if the community is genuinely interested, which they mostly weren't before he got de-modded. And he got a fair response from the admins explaining why it was necessary over a week ago.
Chiefpacman ago
Well they sent cyna to tell him to take down the banner. Cyna isn't an admin, and the reaction from THC was expected.
Not a very fair response I'd say. But its done, whatever
Broc_Lia ago
Not according to her, or them. THC jumped to this conclusion because he was demodded around the time she (as a user) asked him to unsticky it.
Chiefpacman ago
I would make the same conclusion. Cyna probably asked not to be attributed. Not that it mattes tho, who told who.
Put and atko arent active users by any means, idk how they'd notice without help
Broc_Lia ago
I'd say it's a pretty strange conclusion to come to. If you're a system mod and do something to piss people off, expect a reaction from the userbase and the admins.
He had been griping about it non-stop for quite some time, so they might have been keeping an eye on him.

'Defacing the subverse.'
It's laughable. @puttitout remind me not to upset you master
