<nalixor> ooh.
<MeghanAM> I'm excited to finally hear!
<theredditpope> There was a mod who was super active and he went on vacation.

<theredditpope> Usually I mod on mobile and just do it from my app.
<theredditpope> The app won't let me mod comments right or see report queue
<theredditpope> So I go on to mobile version
<theredditpope> Like, mobile safari
<theredditpope> And I go through this whole queue and a few comments just won't go away!
<theredditpope> And I go through this whole queue and a few comments just won't go away!
<nalixor> hahahaha
<nalixor> okay
<nalixor> sure
<theredditpope> I press the approve and remove
<theredditpope> And refresh
<theredditpope> And it's still there
<theredditpope> So I got frustrated and pressed he buttons a bunch of times because fuck that shit!
<nalixor> you sure must be dedicated!
<nalixor> 54 times!
<theredditpope> I was already well over the activity minimum at that time.
<theredditpope> And stay well over.
<nalixor> I would have realised it was broken after the first couple.
<theredditpope> I was up late
<theredditpope> Working heavy queues
<MeghanAM> I don't understand why approve if goal is remove.
<theredditpope> Dealing with bullshit
<theredditpope> MeghanAM: approve/remove/approve/remove and end on remove and see what happened
<MeghanAM> But, I'm more surprised that I'm hearing this answer for the very first time.  I'd have accepted this, as dumb and naive as that may make me.
<theredditpope> I donno! I don't do desktop or mobile version a lot.
<theredditpope> MeghanAM: if you asked me before trying to kick me maybe we could have talked this out, but I'm not rehashing drama with yall. Folks wanted the answer, now you got it.
<theredditpope> Yall are free to judge me all you want but please, let he who is without sin cast the first stone....
<MeghanAM> I'm not sure I "tried" to kick you, but hey, sure. People did ask, though, as everyone now (unfortunately?) knows
<theredditpope> Mhmm.
<MeghanAM> You know as well as I know (and everyone else, yay) that I did not vote.  I was sound asleep when shit went down.
<theredditpope> Lol
<captainmeta4> theredditpope: what about the bulk Ignore Reports and bulk approvals?
<captainmeta4> (i'm asking because its fair to hear your side before I grab my pitchfork)
<theredditpope> captainmeta4: there was no bulk approval and like I said the mod who was out of town was causing a back up so I was ignoring reports on hours old posts just to not have to deal with them. Grab your pitchfork if you want.
<theredditpope> I don't care
<theredditpope> None of yall are involved personally in this so your opinion on the matter is irrelevant since you don't have and won't have access to all the info.

<captainmeta4> meh
<captainmeta4> still sketchy as fuck
<theredditpope> Meh, you have no idea.
«--- Trauermarsch (Trauermarsc@user/Trauermarsch) has Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<captainmeta4> and it seems the people who did have "access to all the info" heavily dislike you
<theredditpope> captainmeta4: some
<theredditpope> There was a personal dispute between two groups of mods that has now been resolved as far as my subreddit is concerned.
<theredditpope> That's really all this is.
<captainmeta4> resolved by a mass kick?
<theredditpope> Mass?
<theredditpope> That's a little hyperbolic.
<nalixor> You lost more mods than you have now?
<theredditpope> But yeah, it got resolved that way.
<nalixor> That qualifies as mass.
<theredditpope> nalixor: no worries, we can always add more mods.
<theredditpope> Hell, the place had less mod's than now when it was a default during election time in 2010.
<MeghanAM> It was not a personal dispute.  I know you will continue to state it, but I won't just let it be uncontested.
<theredditpope> Lol
<theredditpope> Says one personal involved in the personal dispute.
<MeghanAM> You were one of my favorite teammates until essentially last week
<MeghanAM> Other removed mods also know that that is the case
<theredditpope> Says a person who took our private conversations and leaked them.
<MeghanAM> Yeah, I should not have tried to confirm something that you told me.  I did do that in an inappropriate way, and for that I am sorry.
<theredditpope> I don't trust a word you say Meghan so I'm just gonna walk away from this lest it cause more needless drama.
<MeghanAM> But I did not have some longstanding personal disagreement with you.  Nor did the several mods who were voted for no reason -- without posting in the proposal or the vote, as all can see.
<theredditpope> Lol
<MeghanAM> I literally invited you to a party at my house like 2 weeks ago at most.  You can say what you want, and you can refuse to discuss, and whatever.  I get, I guess, why you want to paint it that way.  But like I said, it won't just be stated without contest.
<theredditpope> Mhmm

<theredditpope> Mass to me is like 90%
<TehAlpacalypse> honestly I would be livid if that happened
<TehAlpacalypse> Dude you've crippled your own subreddit
<theredditpope> Nah
<captainmeta4> TehAlpacalypse: afaik it was /u/luster who did the actual kicking
<TehAlpacalypse> captainmeta4: I know, he was the most senior
<theredditpope> Our queues are clean at the moment and we will be adding more mods soon.
<TehAlpacalypse> theredditpope: so you're telling me you can run a 3.4 million person sub with half the mod team
<theredditpope> HAHAHAHA!
<theredditpope> 3.4 million???
<theredditpope> Oh my god you sound like a reporter from the Daily Dot
<TehAlpacalypse> seriously how can you honestly dodge accusations of censorship if you delete all of the mods who disagree with you
<theredditpope> We don't have anywhere near the traffic and activity we had when we were a default and every new account contributed to the subscriber list.
<theredditpope> TehAlpacalypse: censorship?
<theredditpope> Lol
<theredditpope> Now you ARE sounding like a Daily Dolt reporter.
<MeghanAM> I don't know if any of you guys knew this so #modprotip: when your queues are hard to manage, you can just approve all of the things without reading them and then your queues will be empty again.  Then you can pat yourself on the back if you want.  Last step optional.
<TehAlpacalypse> Because you actually did the shit that the daily dot accused other mods of
<theredditpope> Hahaha!
<theredditpope> Oh you have all the facts?
<TehAlpacalypse> No, but all you have done is dodge questions
<TehAlpacalypse> and give non answers
<theredditpope> Well, quite frankly, it's none of your business is it?
<TehAlpacalypse> Someone disagrees with you and half the mod team disappears
<TehAlpacalypse> Not really, but my opinion of you is shit now
<theredditpope> It was a long standing personal conflict and now it's resolved.
<TehAlpacalypse> Not that you should care
<theredditpope> I honestly don't.
<captainmeta4> theredditpope: you crippled your subreddit moderation capacity by over 50%
