Who should I talk to about letting people know how admins protect child porn on Reddit?





Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

They dont. LOL. You got banned for being part of the spamming ring they cleaned up.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

LOL they do - and I have proof! I also have proof that I never accepted payments but I consider the CP a more important issue at this point.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Show your proof then.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That doesnt say anything about child porn there. And to be quite honest your mod team was caught red handed and you were hostile to the admins. I think you honestly probably didnt have anything to do with it but you did seem to piss them off quite a bit.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well obviously you're going to think whatever you're going to think - I'm the only one who's actually providing transcripts of these conversations and proof that I actually reported the spammer who they're accusing me of taking payments from. They're simply making false accusations and saying "We're admin. Believe what we say. They were bad."

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

As I said I believe you that you werent part of it. But the rest of your modteam was. They even said they believed you.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Is that what you said? I must have misread that.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT PISSES ME OFF ABOUT THIS! They have no evidence, they even said they don't believe I acted inappropriately and they DEFINITELY can't produce any mod logs that say I did any of these things.... because I never did them.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well you associated with an entire team that did, you have to admit that it makes you look pretty bad.

user-inactivated  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Guilt by association? You're better than that, Laurie.

Laurelai  ·  4094 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Im explaining how the reddit admins saw it.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Look - I asked those two guys "man to man" if they ever actually accepted payments. They told me no. I have no reason to not believe what they're telling me and again, I could never find anything in the mod logs that supported what they were saying. I went back through 2 months of mod log info and never even found one link that SpackSack supposedly approved and only 3 mod actions TOTAL.

The whole thing is just bullshit. The bigger the lie, the more people believe - and there's more than enough evidence to say that admins consistently lie about why prominent users have been banned.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

My thing is ive made more trouble for the reddit admins than anyone on the site period and they have yet to shadowban me, in fact i think i have some kind of record for getting other people banned. You know why? I follow the rules. To the letter. Yes im a colossal pain in the ass for certain groups of people, but I do it within reddits rules. Oh and I always watch my mod teams like a hawk. A mix of e-lawyer and paranoia keeps you from getting banned.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Except for the fact that users can be banned for "causing too much drama" according to dacvak and I'd say you've raised enough drama to warrant a ban.

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Are you referring to the PIMA banning here?

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yup

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Didn't the admins give a vague statement about rule-breaking in that case too? Something about them having "investigated" the account and found reasons for a ban?

The drama posts seemed to have set that investigation off, though.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

They also accused him of posting pictures of underage girls which is absolute bullshit. Admins simply make up any lie that suits their needs.

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, I don't know. Personally I don't like PIMA but that's just me.

I'm listening to the DailyDot conversation on Liveleak right now and if you want my advice, you should keep pushing on the fact that you've prevented CP from being posted.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

The fact is the PIMA and violenta both fought battles that I didn't agree with that resulted in their eventual departure from Reddit. This does not negate the fact that they were both excellent moderators who did a lot for Reddit.

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I agree. My dislike for them is only personal.

When was the DailyDot conversation recorded? That user you said you guys reported multiple times seems to have been banned.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

This afternoon. The removal of /u/MrSnakeX must have been recent because when I checked the other day the account was still up. The thing is, the links he posted are still active if you search his name which means all of his posts are still active: http://www.reddit.com/r/all/search?q=mrsnakex

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

According to the guy you were talking to the account was up during your conversation. I guess the admins are listening to it as well?

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Lol no of course not. He just searched the name in the search bar which is what that URL I sent you was.

LowSociety  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh, my mistake then.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

And yet im not banned.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Can't explain that.

Zero1Three  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I think that link got spam filtered. It has no activity.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah the InternetAMA mods said they would approve it but I guess that didn't happen.

Baladas  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'll see if I can contact loves_being_that_guy on facebook. One of the braveryjerk crew.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Looks like it's up now. They'll still have to manually approve my comments though.

Laurelai  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

He got auto shadowbanned.

Baladas  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

They banned you, fucked you over extra by deleting all your history, and shadowbanned your new account too, and made 2 different (most likely false) accusations without proof.

Do you yet feel responsible for a lot of your subreddits?

Anyway, ontopic; I think your best shot might be SRS.

Scopolamina  ·  4095 days ago  ·  link  ·  

>Do you yet feel responsible for a lot of your subreddits?

Only because I was responsible for most of that success. I worked really hard to make my subreddits as popular as they were and it sucks to lose all that effort however I'm more interested in letting the public know about all the shitty things admin do behind the scenes that you can only learn after becoming a moderator.

drunkendonuts  ·  4094 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Let it out, bro. I'll listen.
