More subreddit war drama, powermods acting like dictators and r/drama call outs

1) CTH make a post about ContraPoints; Lol wtf is this sub?, a 3 year old post is brought up about powermod T_Dumbsford moderating altright and racist subs

Hoooly shit. One of the mods of /r/ContraPoints is T_Dumbsford, former mod of such subs as /r/beatingniggers, /r/rapeworthy_feminists, and, you guessed it, /r/beatingtrannies. https://old.reddit.com/r/circlebrokediscussion/comments/3c7dyz/why_is_a_mod_of_ropenbroke_also_the_mod_of/ Edit https://old.reddit.com/r/ContraPoints/comments/arm0u1/meta_can_we_discuss_this_claims/ego4403 This is the explanation being given, yet there's absolutely no mention of it in the thread I linked. T_Dumbsford says it's all for "trolling", and, as that thread shows, they were perfectly comfortable with using all sorts of slurs and participating in those communities 'as a troll'. Nothing said about taking over those subs from bigots.

2) Users in ContraPoints make a post to counter this one and discuss [meta] can we discuss this claims?

Powermod, Merari, calls it a false flag operation and also says hilarious shit like this;

Of course the troll sphere is downvoting the truth as hard as they can, but that is to be expected. They have a vested interest in showing you material out of context and without telling you that these screenshots are years old. We tell you the exact and literal truth, sourced, because we act in the best interest of this subreddit, its subscribers and reddit in general.

Merari also has discussions with prince_kropotkin on why a r/drama user would never mod on their subs and why a small number of people moderate most large subs; https://www.reddit.com/r/ContraPoints/comments/arm0u1/meta_can_we_discuss_this_claims/egq0ymh/

I was not able to find the original post in the screenshot that supposedly got locked and removed for "death threats", if someone else can that would be dope.

"culture"

1  geeses 2019-02-19

Have you read anything about Chinese history?

Those guys are all about civil wars and shit.

1  mygoodpostingalt 2019-02-19

yeah but they're also great at crushing dissenting opinions and soy

We have no drama mods on this subreddit.

If you would like to moderate a leftist sub, apply. Look for subs that are looking for moderators. Participate constructively on subs to show you're trustworthy and someone the team would do well to add.

You have no idea how scarce good moderators are and how gladly most teams would like to add someone from the userbase to help out.

The best tip I can give to be considered a good candidate, apart from what I said already: Learn how to code automod. A good automod operator can basically pick and choose what subs they want to moderate. It's a much needed skillset.

Trying to convince themselves that being an internet janitor is a requires any type of skill. 🤔 😂

So, is it become a well-liked, trusting individual that actively participates in the community they want to mod, or be an indignant dickhead and never participate as long as you can make the bot go?

Why does your 🤔 lead to some pedo discussion?

"Learn how to automatically remove content, this is highly in demand on a website about talking with other people"

Jesus christ this has to be a joke right?

On another note, why is SRD so devoid of the juiciest drama in months?

Sometimes I wonder how a boring take on things would look like

1  BlessThisBussy 2019-02-19

SRD sucks, they delete anything and everything that falls under their massive umbrella of "surplus popcorn", whatever the fuck that means and "civility" garbage. Sometimes Ill take a gander through the posting history of the more active mods there to see what they have removed because it can be decent drama.

1  redditisnowtwitter 2019-02-19

Horrible mods too.

But at least they’re still alive. Unlike your buddy here.

1  Confirm_Contact 2019-02-19

I think they are friendly with a lot of the people getting called out, so they fiddle with the posts. Then some mod friend will post it with all the fun drama and stuff conveniently removed that showed any of them in a bad light. Seems like there is a lot of mod/sub drama for that place to be so stagnant.

1  otherwiseyep 2019-02-19

SRD mods remove a lot of posts according to some system of vague rules about surplus drama or posts not having enough drama or whatever.

I am pretty sure that some of the mods there abuse the vague and subjective rules to remove drama that casts the wokesphere in a bad light. I think they also really just want to see slapfights and hissy fits, so the more genteel kinds of drama, where leftists seek to discover who is more "problematic", get nuked.

1  CucksLoveTrump 2019-02-19

TiTs in particular will pull down whatever he feels is too "problematic" of a post on that particular day and it his butthurtery has a direct correlation to the last time he got laid

Yep. That or to post it themselves. Old fashioned theft.

That's not pk that's an imposter

1  Michelanvalo 2019-02-19

Merari isn't lying about this, a certain group of powermods, those noted in the ContraPoints mod team, do try to infiltrate the hate subs then take them over to spin them into something else.

1  BlessThisBussy 2019-02-19

The powermods are one of the worst things about Reddit, having them camp on subs is retarded.

1  Michelanvalo 2019-02-19

It's just this moral crusade a bunch of them have to make reddit a better place or some nonsense. I've had stupid arguments with one of them about how dumb they are for caring this much.

1  Quietus42 2019-02-19

Merari also has discussions with prince_kropotkin on why a r/drama user would never mod on their subs

Whoops! Though tbf he was saying a drama mod wouldn't be invited to mod there (😤).

I like r/Contrapoints and having a place to talk about the videos but being stuck in the middle of a shit fight between tankies and powermods is fucking exhausting.

1  DeathBahamutXXX 2019-02-19

Yeah the fact you aren’t actively trying to fight chapo and posting in here will probably have belle try to turn the other mods against you and then try to take your spot.

1  Quietus42 2019-02-19

I'd unironically love to see her try.

1  charming_tatum 2019-02-19

Didn't she get booted from TMOR? I think I saw her muttering about it recently. On another note, is your name from Children of Men?

1  Quietus42 2019-02-19

😉

On another note, is your name from Children of Men?

I originally took it from 'Surface Detail', one of my favorite Iain M Banks novels, but I like the juxtaposition of a suicide drug and the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

1  Quietus42 2019-02-19

Lmao I see what you did.

1  Prysorra2 2019-02-19

They are alt-right agitators, gaining positions within groups to try and damage them from the inside.

^ Says one of them.

1  Lysis10 2019-02-19

lmao what is it about these mods being racists and modding alt-left hate subs.

Too much autism even for rain man.
