Whiny little twatwaffle /u/upliftingnews has gone on a banning spree
128 2017-01-03 by phedre
/u/upliftingnews aka /u/razorsheldon pitched a hissy in SRD modmail almost two weeks ago over this comment because it's "brigading", accused the entire SRD mod team of being racist, and banned us all.
Apparently it's going on in CB2 as well.
Edit: It's been pointed out to me that /u/TehAlpacalypse is possibly responsible for the bot script that mass banned people who posted in KiA and TiA a while back. So this is just getting funnier by the moment. Nope, wrote the circlebroke RES mass tagger. Slightly different.

Wow /u/jebusgobson how could you say such a thing that is definitely not faked.
n/a UpliftingNews 2017-01-03
Any mod in SRD will easily be able to verify that comment.
n/a Pablopubes 2017-01-03
Then show the fucking context. You're retarded ass thinks people here aren't SRD mods, or know Jebus. Either you faked that shit or you're too afraid to show the context of the conversation.
n/a TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK 2017-01-03
Oh, no, that's completely real. The context is us mocking him because of what /u/phedre said in the op:
The guy's being an intentionally obtuse moron, and he knows it. Jebus was circlejerking in modmail about him being an idiot and now he's shitting his overalls about it.
HEY, /u/RAZORSHELDON, YOUR IMPOTENCE IS ONLY MATCHED BY YOUR THIN SKIN. YOU ARE A MODERATOR ON THE INTERNET, WHICH IS ONLY GOOD FOR GETTING LAID. INJECT SOME LAMICTAL INTO YOUR NECK AND REMOVE THE BUG FROM YOUR BUTTHOLE.
n/a Pablopubes 2017-01-03
Oh I believe it's real. And reading that it's obvious Jebus is joking. It's just pretty fucking dumb for /u/upliftingnews to think we don't know Jebus or sarcasm.

n/a TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK 2017-01-03
Hahahahahahaha omg dude.
Look, I get it, you're taking this super-fucking-cereal. I've done the same! One time I told a reddit user to fuck a rake.
(to my knowledge, he did not do that, which is unfortunate)
We are mocking you for this painfully, awfully stupid stickied comment you made. You took a story entitled
Killing hatred with kindness: Black man has convinced 200 racists to abandon the KKK by making friends with them despite their prejudiced views
and decided to sticky a comment about a stupid MTV video being racist against white people. That's dumb. Like, royally, hilariously bad and stupid.
And then you modmailed us complaining about "brigading" even though that didn't happen, and also you had the top story on reddit at the time so it's almost impossible to detect brigading there.
What you're doing right now makes you look bad, and if I were you, I'd stop.
n/a UpliftingNews 2017-01-03
I'm not the one defending racist remarks. If I were you, I'd look inward before attacking others.
n/a TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK 2017-01-03
I don't even know how to respond to this. You're exhibiting a remarkable lack of self-awareness right now, to the point that I'm approaching Poe's Law-level dissonance in my own head.

Delete this alt, your main and your subreddit. I will be reporting to the admins to de-main it as it has become a hub of antifa brigading and plotting. A number of your users have admitted and been banned for encouraging white genocide. You should be ashamed. Please get off the interwebs

It's so stupid and the most pathetic power-grab reach I've ever seen mods do.
Either you're pro free speech or you aren't. It's one thing if there's a troll in your community causing problems. But to ban someone for something they've done somewhere else that has no bearing on your subreddit? Seriously? Grow the fuck up. Go outside. Talk to some people. Lighten up. Stop giving yourself more "work", more depression, more anxiety.... ain't nobody got time for that shit.
No one takes shit at face-value anymore. Everything has to have a deeper meaning. You can't just blow off steam in a community with the purpose to blow off steam without being labeled as having something fundamentally wrong with you.

Nope, they don't come there really. We ban when we need to but really there aren't a lot of alt righters and bigots that come and when they do we're quick to ban. We're much more lenient with the annoying commies which is why they think we single them out.

I'll just make one comment on this kerfuffle since I know everybody loves a good witch hunt and I'm an easy target to pile on.
But the bottom line is that racism, bullying, and making blanket generalizations based upon one's race, gender or sexual preference are all wrong. You can look at my comment and moderation history and form your own opinions, but just don't get sucked into the bullying hivemind in these drama-based subreddits and the toxic folks that thrive here. Otherwise, soon enough you will lose sight of the golden rule of treating others how'd you'd like to be treated yourself, which is an easy trap to fall into, and you'll be no better than the actual racists out there saying and doing awful things.

Along the same token, doesn't it seem wrong to generalize entire mod teams based on a comment by one moderator?
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
We shouldn't generalize nazis entirely based on a few perpetrating the holocaust
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
Maybe, but how about we change the group being generalized and see how it sounds.
We shouldn't generalize Christians entirely based on a few perpetrating the holocaust.
It's not fair to associate the actions of the few with the entire group.
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
your analogy is more like "we shouldn't generalize all redditors based on the bigotry of a r/circlebroke2 mod" which isn't what happened. nazis chose to be part of the nazi party and promoted an ideology of extreme bigotry. mods of circlebroke2 chose to be part of the mod team and promote an ideology of bigotry.
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
Many Nazi's didn't agree with the actions of the party, but maintained loyalty (or at least the appearance of loyalty) in order to prevent retribution.
The Nazi party existed before the holocaust even happened. Some members, not all, supported the holocaust.
Yes, mods of CB2 chose to be part of the mod team, but that doesn't mean they support every action and political opinion of every member.
Here's a real-world example: I chose to work at my place of employment. A few of the employees working here are racist. I am not racist, even though I work with a few others who are.
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
how large is the collection of employees? do they make up the same percentage of the company as the bigots do for the mod team? Are these managers with influence on what the company does? Or are they low-level workers?
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
None of that matters. I'm still not racist!
If you want to ban bigots, do it, but when you ban a group because some are bigots, then you're a hypocrite.
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
So would you say that MTV is being hypocritical by generalizing all white guys?
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
Well, MTV published it, so I would say MTV is at fault for the video. I would not say that every employee of MTV is at fault though because I doubt that they all supported the decision. Is MTV racist? I'm not sure a company can be racist, but to answer your question, I don't know.
Are the people who made the video racist? Maybe, but not certainly. Sometimes people do things because they're under contract and have no feasible alternatives. Maybe some don't agree but wanted MTV to be criticized by publishing it.
I would refrain from judging a whole group of people based upon a short video.
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
If MTV offers no apology for that video, I'd never work for them.
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
I admire your conviction, and that's great that you have that flexibility in your career.
Sadly, quitting wouldn't really accomplish anything. MTV, the company, isn't racist. They follow the money, regardless of race. They do what is profitable, and they will still do what is profitable after you quit.
You would need to convince them that it's profitable to apologize, and realistically, that's easier to do from the inside.
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
Moderating a subreddit is not a career. People are not economically obligated to be on a mod team. It's a choice. If those people choose to remain in association with bigots who express their bigotry through their moderation, they bear responsibility.
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
I can say the same about commenting on reddit, in general. Does that make you racist for choosing to associate with bigots who express their bigotry through their reddit comments? Do you bear responsibility?
n/a TelicAstraeus 2017-01-03
If you post on stormfront, chances are high that you're a white nationalist. If you post on circlebroke2, chances are high you're bigoted against white males. Do you bear the same level of responsibility as the owners/moderators of stormfront? no. Do you bear the same level of responsibility as the mod team of circlebroke2? no.
It is not oppression to be banned from a subreddit for trying to promote racism in that subreddit, or harassment of a moderator of that subreddit for opposing racism. It is not oppression to be a leader of a bigoted group and receive a subreddit ban for your group's actions.
n/a ecafyelims 2017-01-03
I don't think anyone said they were being oppressed.
I was only saying it's unfair to judge everyone for a comment by one person in the group. Judge each for his or her own actions.

n/a Works_of_memercy 2017-01-03
The way you talk about preemptively banning racists as if it were something bad makes me think that you're actually a racist yourself. Maybe not a "gas the n-words" kind yourself, but the one that supports and protects that kind of people.

Well, maybe you can explain your position with a rational argument instead of pointing out some people's opinions about you? Like, yeah, I'm defending racists' right to spread their racist opinions until a mod notices them for such and such absolutely not racist reasons.
B/c your fellow mods here are defending JebusGobson's use of the n-word "as a joke", so excuse me if I don't give much weight to your reputation among them as a non-racist ;-)

#2: This week I was banned from 400+ subreddits in a day. I broke no rules and never even posted in most of them. The two power mods that did this to me have been power-tripping for years and they're the exact type of authoritarian stooges that fit right in with Reddit CEO Ellen Pao's new reddit.
#3: Banned from /r/news for "racism" for correcting someone that was wrong, then told facts are racist by a mod.

First of all, if you weren't so butthurt and just glanced at my recent comment history besides your creeper tool, you'd have seen that I'm neither SJW nor a communist. That comment was my only comment in latestagecapitalism and addressed at our favorite lolcow angrydm.
And you I outright trolled, and with great success if I say so myself. You run a masstagger for people who post in wrongthink subs and that's totes normal and nbd, I propose to go just a little bit farther or else you're a racist for aiding and abetting racists, and you just don't have a real answer. You probably used it a thousand times yourself and now can only mewl that it's a needlessly divisive purity test, now that you are facing its business end.
This obviously distresses you greatly which pleases me. I don't like SJW hypocrites.

n/a Works_of_memercy 2017-01-03
No, as I said, it's different. I have a point that I stand behind: that your SJW attitudes that made publishing and autotagger for wrongthing subs are stupid because when I up the ante just a little bit you have no response except a hysterics about "purity testing".
Yeah, sure, I could've been, like, imagine if I theoretically called you out for not banning racists preventively, what could you respond with in the same framework that allows your autotagger, but skipping that introduction produced much more authentic butthurt.
The point still totally stands, of course.
No, the use of that argument, not of your autotagger, lrn2rd. See, you said:
Why that /u/UpliftingNews guy is a FUCKING STORMFRONTER? Because he made an argument that that MTV video was racist against whites (and was right, seeing how they deleted it), and you know who else calls some things racist against whites? FUCKING STORMFRONTERS, PURITY TEST FAILED, the guy's definitely one.
I do the exact thing against your own belief that pre-banning racists is wrong and you are upset that I'm "purity testing" you.
Do you see how hilarious that is, from a side bench?
Also, from that comment:
