SRD mod threatens to ban all r/Conservative links due to alleged rule-breaking, gets downmarseyd and criticized by everyone in the comments

In the recently viral "Right wingers of rConservative have realized their mistake..." SRD post, moderator "CantBeCanned" pins this comment:

>Idk what's up with the subreddit lately but people are using SRD just to complain about r / conservative. Your post breaks lots of rules about making us hunt for the drama, having a biased title, and having a biased writeup. The fact there is actual drama here between users and mods of the subs is the only saving grace. If another mod removes this they'll have full right to.

>Stickying this with the faint hope people will see this and stop making terrible multi-rule-breaking submissions.

The mod chooses not to remove or lock the post, but replies to this comment still get heated:

• This seems like an exception. It's literally all the top posts in that thread. also "Idk what's up with the subreddit lately". You honestly have NO idea why people are reacting this way? Do you live in a cave with no Internet?

  • [MOD] [-107 downmarseys] People are mostly calmly discussing stuff in the top comments. If you think their discourse with each other is stupid and hypocritical, then that's exactly the problem: linking bad behavior rather than actual disagreement.

    • I think you're being willfully obtuse. They are sorting comments by controversial just because the top comments betray the narrative.  If you can't see the drama at this point I'm afraid to tell you that you are part of the drama now, lol

    • > Having to point out the drama in the post is a really simple rule... The only one part of the drama here is you being antagonistic for no reason

    • > [MOD] [-31 downmarseys] They are sorting comments by controversial just because the top comments betray the narrative.The narrative? SRD isn't about large scale narratives and the betrayal of them. It's people using chains of back and forth reddit comment replies to argue with each other. Meta drama between mods and users is allowed, but this post does such a poor job of presenting that that it breaks the rules. Starting to think I should ask other mods ban r / conservative links for a week because people suddenly become illiterate about our rules if they think they can score points against their political enemies. If other mods agree to it, SRDD is gonna be eating good when we announce that.

    • >> Ironic that the sub dedicated to subreddit drama also has so much drama due to an out of touch mod.

• Lol go back to r / conservative so you can mod and ban people there

  • This is getting ridiculous. These mods are power tripping weirdos.

    • then leave

    • > You leave lol

    • >> You both grow up

    • >>> Nah how bout you leave instead

    • >> I'm not the one complaining. If I am not with a show, I change the channel, If I'm not happy with service, I get up and dont go back. It is extremely easy to do. STOP BITCHING and move on. LIFE IS TOO SHORT

• We ain't playing nice anymore to people who never played nice to begin with. Go back to r / conservative if you don't want to see people mad at you and your ilk for being shitasses for the past 8 + years now.

• Go back to r / conservative and kiss Putins butt.

• Time for a meta post, maybe?

At least one user attempts to defend the mod's actions:

• Go read the sub rules. Just because the mod is trying to enforce the sub rules doesn't mean they're a secret conservative.

  • The mods of the sub in question made a post about brigading and are banning large numbers of longterm members for expressing views they don't like. Granted, they ban a lot of people in general, but what's going on qualifies as drama...

  • Yeah I don't see any rule breaking I have my own screen shots of the drama in that sub within the last few hours that I am laughing at lol. I can I must have melted a Russian snowflake.

    • The point of rule 7 is that the links to specific instances of drama should be included in the post, rather than linking the whole thread. So whether you have screenshots of drama occuring in that thread is irrelevant to whether or not the original post was good, since the original post didn't include any such screenshots. This and the other rule issues are clearly outlined in the original mod comment, so I question your reading ability.  I can I must have melted a Russian snowflake. A mod is saying a post is badly formated? Surely they must be a russian bot. No other possibility. (Also your grammar could use improvement, which only serves to reinforce my earlier doubts)

    • > Attacks my grammar all you want it's pretty clear just from looking at the sub and link they listed below which shows someone with a dissenting view being shadow banned and not realizing it. Is pretty comical and definitely subreddit drama. But here you can ban me now. Go frick yourself.

    • >> You're not a very nice boy, are you?

    • >>> I like how you didn't put the part where you attack my grammar lol 😂 yet again go frick yourself.

    • >>>> I mean I thought my point on this topic was made and received? Do you want me to write a freaking thesis on your poor grammar? It's just not that interesting a topic, sorry.

    • >>>>> We have achieved r / SubredditDramaDrama.

Edit: Bullet point system messed up and deleted a bunch of more replies so I had to manually add them back. Each ">" is a reply to the comment above.
