This post is a great opportunity to once again state that the way you are handling this is in general terrible.
You guys conveniently ignore your own rules when it suits you and that's not cool.
For the fiftieth time in case you want to ree at me, I'm good with banning people for being egregious with that.
An unmoderated forum becomes Voat and that was a total cesspool.
But we don't need snarky posts attacking people, we don't need straw mans or ad hominems when we tell you we don't like it, and we don't need the attitude that you guys have shown.
I agreed with you on separating those conspiracy theories from this and relegating them to the conspiracy win. However, you broke the rules you set up for everyone else by calling everyone who believed in those "retards" -- I did not agree with that.
The post that sparked all this was a virtue signalling post that was poorly handled, attacking people in this community and trying to act like the people who were upset were the people doing it.
The mod hid behind statements of "I think they're shills", yet still continued in the comments section accusing other people of being the ones to do it.
When people bring how bad this is being handled up, yet another mod comes out and says "don't be dramatic" when it has totally distracted the community and created a divide that did not exist before the virtue signalling.
I will give you props for finally stickying something that isn't inflammatory towards users but I'm not sure the divide is going to be fixable if this behavior continues.
Please post this exact comment in the main stream? It's not visible to anyone here and it deserves to me. We can take the constructive criticism like this, ALL DAY, and we're grateful for it, and will be better.
EDIT, also, please know that we recently let a mod go, for, doing exactly this
Ah okay I saw Evspra stepped down from actual mod duties but retained it for site design access, so I was worried since I hadn't seen him really do anything relating to this.
I appreciate you taking my criticism in stride. Today has been very frustrating. I've been accused of things that I would never do just because I don't like how this has been handled, and I know it's been frustrating from your side too.
