"Mods Are Asleep" is an expression used to indicate that a website's moderators are currently inactive and unable to enforce the site's rules of conduct. The phrase is often followed by a call to action for other users to post material that is typically not allowed.
Two years before Pizzagate, the site explained people began trolling people looking for actual CP by posting things like chocolate pudding, copier paper, Captain Picard and yes, cheese pizza.
About
Post CP is an acronym in which CP can have a variety of meanings. Initially used as an acronym for 4chan posters to indirectly mention or request a child pornography thread, in later years the acronym became commonly associated with the posting of other subjects with the same first letters (C & P, most notably "Cheese Pizza") to parody prohibited request threads or to troll those who hope to find child pornography.
Origin
4chan's anonymous posting style has long been a way for users to request and post socially unacceptable content and taboos without facing many risks. Although 4chan houses content that other areas of the internet wouldn't post in public, the site still maintains a set of rules which also forbid the posting of "anything that violates local or United States law". Regardless of this, users commonly try to post such content with the hope the site moderators won't spot it, such as in "mods are asleep" threads.
It's hard to understand this whole thing without this background and the context in which this started.
Well you can wish into one hand and crap in the other, but you'll never get snopes to care about truth. So go nuke a hotpocket. Time better spent.
Write off Snopes, they're lost and won't ever amend their ways. I spend my energy elsewhere and don't even think about Snopes anymore.
Ah, I see.
Snopes used a quote that says "pediphilia," which the linkage is nonsense. The word is misspelled, rendering the word meaningless.
If the author had used "pedophilia," then that would be different.
The dude hasn't rolled off his cat yet.
Wait until he's finished then he'll be right with you.
Snopes is one neckbeard pedo in his basement.
Imma go share this on Instagram and see what happens.
Cheese Pizza actually started out as a way of making fun of people requesting "cp" on places like 4 chan. Because 4chan had a cp problem.
There's a site called knowourmeme that does like internet history for memes.
More than 5 years before pizzagate, they started a page for the meme Mods are Asleep https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mods-are-asleep
And people would say "post cp" https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/003/202/imagesCABYJCBO.jpg
