    How American of them. Install your own leaders when you don’t like what they’re doing with their self-governed community

    Wow, it’s like they’re trying to hire strike breakers for free…

    if forced to reopen, they should do it (rather than get pushed out and effectively give admins full control), but allow only a single new mod post every day- “day 5 of forced reopening discussion thread” and lock every other post.

      And get kicked off day 2 while the threads get deleted. Probably the most effective way is to just open and not do any moderating.

      They can just go into the management back-end and do whatever they want. Spez used it to edit commenters’ posts years ago, so he knows how to rig things if he wants to. Question is, how long will it take him to get fed up with us and get around to doing it?

    If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening.

    Translation: please snitch and we’ll give you control of the subreddit. We don’t have enough staff to moderate all the subreddits ourselves.

    I haven’t received one yet, but my sub is only 500k users, so probably on a lower tier of care.

    I hope the Reddit mods don’t crumble under the pressure Reddit is nothing without the community and its mods.

    I read a similar article and was going to post it until I saw this one. Awfully heavy-handed. So now he wants scabs?

    Instead of addressing complaints and working towards a solution and forcing the policies only for profit is corporate capitalism at its finest.

    It’s the main reason why I’m done.
