<hueypriest> saw your comment about throwing you guys to the wolves
<Andrewdsmith> I can understand if you are trying to amount a shit ton of evidence against them before you move
<hueypriest> and I completely understand why you'd feel that way
<Andrewdsmith> but that is really how most of the default mods feel
<hueypriest> yep
<hueypriest> there are a lot of misconceptions around what happened with the policy change
<Andrewdsmith> did you see their private subreddits?
<Andrewdsmith> I think that would be a good place to look
<hueypriest> yes. there's nothing really there
<Andrewdsmith> I can understand getting rid of all of those subreddits
<hueypriest> (please do not repeat that)
<Andrewdsmith> I personally agree with you
<Andrewdsmith> about removing the borderline subreddits because they make reddit look bad
<hueypriest> they made a bunch of those private subreddits to scare people
<Andrewdsmith> to the media
<Andrewdsmith> I figured that
<Andrewdsmith> it is like my r/secretcabal
<hueypriest> yes
<Andrewdsmith> I just think that you guys folded too quickly to them and now they are strengthened in their efforts to destroy reddit
<hueypriest> disagree
<hueypriest> we planned to make the change early on friday
<Andrewdsmith> I figured that it was a long time coming
<hueypriest> and it's complicated, but yes, long time coming
<Andrewdsmith> I think it was a good move
<hueypriest> the timing is unfortunate because it makes them feel more empowered
<Andrewdsmith> yeah
<hueypriest> i do too
<hueypriest> should have done it long ago
<Andrewdsmith> brb
<Andrewdsmith> I agree
<Andrewdsmith> and there are tons that are poping up
<Andrewdsmith> I tried to say that when they had the reddit alien waving to pedobear
<hueypriest> yeah
<Andrewdsmith> I know that you can proxy and have ip changing
<hueypriest> right
<Andrewdsmith> but I think that the majority of the SRS users aren't that smart
<Andrewdsmith> and I figure that you are watching the ips of the main ones
<Andrewdsmith> but us being left in the cold makes us nervous about this
<Andrewdsmith> anyway you can give me info on who leaked the r/modtalk screeshots?
<hueypriest> yes, we leave you in the cold far too much
<Andrewdsmith> that seriously worried all of the default mods
<hueypriest> but it's ahrd because everything we say recently winds up being public
<Andrewdsmith> yeah, I know
<hueypriest> *hard
<hueypriest> point in case
<hueypriest> waiting to talk to QG
<hueypriest> about that
<hueypriest> and yes, i know who it is
<Andrewdsmith> it's either laure or VA to me
<hueypriest> we actually feel much better able to handle any heat from SRS etc now
<hueypriest> kind of like a forrest fire
<Andrewdsmith> burn a bit
<Andrewdsmith> so that there is nothing to spread
<hueypriest> we did a controlled burn of the questionable stuff (whjich we should have done a long time ago)
<hueypriest> correct
<hueypriest> and unlike srs, we've actually workled with the fbi etc
<Andrewdsmith> thats awesome
<Andrewdsmith> can I tell the other mods that?
<hueypriest> and i'm sure they are getting pretty fed up with all their frivolous tips
<Andrewdsmith> yeah
<Andrewdsmith> I have to head to the office really quick
<Andrewdsmith> I'll be back in like 30
<Andrewdsmith> thank you for updating me
<hueypriest> the fbi is not interested in following up leads of 17 year olds who's boyfriends post shit on the internet
<Andrewdsmith> and I'll do my best to calm the mods
<hueypriest> great
<Andrewdsmith> without telling them what all has been said
<hueypriest> i'm glad to answer any questions i can
<Andrewdsmith> thanks
<hueypriest> in modtalk irc later
<hueypriest> thanks talk alter
