I don't know if that's part of the deal but it'd be fun.
Just keep in mind the people doing this aren't the regular admins that we're used to dealing with, they are just employees who work on the product side and don't have anything to do with the abysmal state of the website.
It's probably trust and safety interns. It's not like they couldn't just force it anyway. It'll be interesting to hear their feedback, if allowed to give any.
After a week they'll be empty shells, barely any memory of humanity, walking around office slowly and whispering to themselves something about industrial revolution, eating cum, foids and dude bussy lmao
Makes sense. They gotta know what we're dealing with to give us the tools we need. Lotsa smart guys been using the site for ages and they've got their opinions.
Instead of instituting new rules that further ruin our glorious subreddit they should focus on not trying to reinvent the wheel and making our experience shittier.
They should just keep w the ads they have, sell front page space like they likely do and I think in their own interest - they should move to discourage perm bans in major subs to encourage user retention.
They can't pay anyone that makes any kind of moderation decisions on their site without opening up a huge floodgate of bizarre quagmire legal issues so they are stuck with us whether they want us.
By definition, nothing that Reddit moderators do (in their aspect as Reddit moderators) is ever legally classed as labour (insert laugh here), and therefore cannot be considered unpaid labour.
Literal slavery. π’ππ€£
Also look at this mfer from TX fronting like they're smart and a Bong. ππ€ͺπ
At the end of the week, make whatever poor sap they send write his very own Lawlz sticky about what he learned the last seven days. Minimum 1000 words.
This could raise some drama if lawyers take notice. Having paid employees doing moderator work could draw Reddit into investigations like this. The more they ask of jannies and the more that paid people do similar work, the more "doing it for free" can raise eyebrows.
Whereas Reddit *only* has job performance requirements before a jannie faces removal and their sub potentially gets shut down. Sure, Reddit calls it "abiding by site-wide rules," but Reddit puts enforcement onto the mods. Facebook, Twitter, etc. enforce site-wide policy themselves, even in private groups.

It's like 8 years too late and people have been telling them what they want for that long but yes good job admins.
Gold star.

πππ big true.
I wonder if any mods don't use old.reddit.
1 pewkiemuffinboo 2020-07-30
new.reddit is moderator population: zero.

They are worried about monetization.
They should just keep w the ads they have, sell front page space like they likely do and I think in their own interest - they should move to discourage perm bans in major subs to encourage user retention.

They'd need to set clear rules for us first. So we could automate it for them

who the fuck trains for a month and a half to be an uncompensated internet garbage man? these j-slurs are sadder than i originally thought

They need to be sure that they have instilled the trans values of the platform into their pedo-weeb candidates.

Have you seen all the essays they're writing? I would be surprised if it wasn't a month just to learn that.
1 ironicshitpostr 2020-07-30
I hope they get their full janny wages during the training period
7 Lord_Sticky 2020-07-30
If itβs an exchange program, does that mean we get one them to janny here in exchange for making Lawlz an admin?
5 Naziwrecker 2020-07-30
I'd pay 5 dollars for a front page site wide lawlz sticky visible in every single sub. Admins, do your thing.
3 AOC_Gynecologist 2020-07-30
drama mods, have you signed up to train your admin mandated replacement ?

they do it for free. Now, the people who do it for free, will train people who wont do it for free.
