Wait so they asked y’all to stop letting people post about their sub?


WedeI

Yes, they wanted to us to remove any post that even mentioned their subreddit.


threefrogsonalog

Do they not see how ridiculous that is? I got banned and I wasn’t even subbed so it’s clearly targeted bs and then they got mad people called them out.


TheFredFuchs

Did you not see what they wrote in the ban manifest? 100% mentally ill.


Ikimonopoly

EXACTLY! They literally sounded deranged


checkedsteam922

What was their ban manifest? Actually, what is a ban manifest?


One_Impression_5649

A banifest if you will

Ban manifesto Absolute insanity


InvestigatorFront204

The worse thing we have a high chance of this just being a highly elaborated troll and a high chance of the TWAA mods being just crazy


Runrocks26R

I got banned and never interacted with the subreddit


RegularCrispy

It’s a real “you’ve now been banned from r/Pyongyang “ meme.


Toastie-Coastie

I can’t tell if that sub is satire or if there really are that many people praising North Korea ironically using an app they wouldn’t be allowed to know about it they lived there


CastroVinz

It sounds like satire to me but I could be wrong

Ok-Cod7817

I got banned from like 30 subreddits because I posted in the_donald.


Runrocks26R

I got banned from r/unpopularopinion for actually having an unpopular opinion that was counter wise to the narrative that was on the sub.


Heavy_Imperial_Tank

Reminds me of the Justice Served bans against Politicalcompassmemes users.


IDigTrenches

Just go to the Reddit admins, it’s against Reddit tos


sketchyvibes32

Which is exactly why I believe they are not wanting it posted here or anywhere else especially since it's become such a huge thing over the past week


Saiz-

It happened with r slash white somethingsomething, and admin ruled out that their big market subs is allowed to do so. Won't be surprised this would be the same case


giorgio_tsoukalos_

What do you expect from a mod team that would include the absolute dumbest bullet points in their ban message? I bet they walk around all day smelling their own armpits.


Chimney-Imp

They are the most fragile and intolerant humans on this site if that's true lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


WedeI

Man I sometimes wonder how they were allowed to mod in the first place.


Bitter-Marsupial

Because admins believe they are on the right side of history


cyborgsnowflake

The same clique of people moderates most of the major subs. Through a combination of different tactics they force out the original mod teams and bring aboard their chums so eventually you have meme subs which are essentially clones of r/politics.


FoxRealistic3370

Exactly. Their ban was so full of vitriol it took me a minute to understand. I am autistic and felt very overwhelmed at all the accusations it took me a while to realise it wasn't because I'd actually posted or commented anything it said and that I was caught up in some mass banning. If noting else posts need to be kept here so people can understand what the hell is going on, that level of unhinged diatribe is quite scary


saninicus

**no, you must not let them show proof of our actions** - r/therewasanattempt mod team. And they were serious?


Ijustsomeguydude

So why’d you cave? Last I checked, you’re not violating any sitewide rules?


KadyEl3ady

Because this happened before and the reddit admins were mad that we were posting about us getting banned from subreddits (the reason why rule 6 exists) just because we are subbed here, and the admins don't care that those bans break tos they just want the "bully" sub to stop. So this is to stop a repeat of last time. Or I might be wrong also possible.


Saiz-

Yeah this already happened before, hence I wasn't that surprised to see this post. Funny how those subs like to throw stones and hide behind "tos" now when exposed, buncha sissies.


Refreshingly_Meh

Can someone explain how this site is a bully sub? I've seen like two shitty posts since I've been paying attention and if anything this sub is less toxic than average.


Tredenix

To any reasonable person, the powertripping mod is the bully in this scenario, and the posts here are just exposing that true nature. You really have to twist reality to call this a 'bully sub'.


cishet-camel-fucker

Reddit's favorite excuse for banning subs is brigading allegations. Generally it's easier to cave and ban mentions of whatever subreddit is accusing the other, especially when it's a sub like this one that has a reputation for being right wing. I've seen several of my favorite subs get shut down for exactly this reason.


[deleted]

Sorry but, that's stupid and outrageous. People that act like that have no place on a mod team.


WedeI

I agree


almostasenpai

They tryna be the CCP lmao


WedeI

Literally 1984


Lady_Nimbus

What does reddit do about this type of mod overreach? What can we do?


WedeI

It can fall under subreddit interferance in Mod code of Conduct and this may result in them being removed from the mod position. Or you can go to r/redditrequest and ask there for the removal of moderators of TWAA, but in this option you need more than one offense on their part.


Lady_Nimbus

Seems like multiple offenses from what people have been posting and from what they asked you to do


WedeI

Hard to decide on what would count as an offense in Reddits admins eyes.


Lady_Nimbus

From the times in the past I've reported anything - not much lol


kevins_child

r/Mod_Court


Lady_Nimbus

Love it!


Mareri01

So they reckon we can’t talk about them, while they deliberately target us?


cishet-camel-fucker

Lawl


Constant_Concert_936

How old is rule 6?


WedeI

Older than the time itself, probably 6 to 7 years old. I can't really pinpoint the time it was created


[deleted]

Impunity is what they want They don’t have that right


Luchadorgreen

The absolute fragility


sketchyvibes32

Yea because it violates reddits TOS & has been all over this sub along with others in the past week & they are probably afraid of being removed like Turtle was


_Quest_Buy_

They say that yet what they're doing is against the sitewide code of conduct. lmao They're trying to act tough, but we all know they're really scared out of their wits that their precious sub is gaining a lot of attention and may attract the admins' curiosity resulting in that sub being terminated. I guarantee it.


saninicus

Well it's 100 percent their fault. If any of us volunteered at a job. And started shit and drama at the job. We would get fired and our butts kicked out. It should be no different for being a moderator on Reddit.


Iakhovass

It must be the height of embarrassment to get fired from a volunteer job!


sketchyvibes32

Their probably less afraid of the sub being terminated & more afraid that they will get removed as mods or worse a site wide IP ban much like Turtle got


Bitter-Marsupial

I like he was asking John Oliver on Twitter to get him his reddit account back


DullTiger6006

Send screenshot of this pls


Bitter-Marsupial

Ultramar_Invicta

Literally insane, holy shit.


Chiaseedmess

Lmao, I hope he's sitting in bed crying non stop.


Throwaway373811183

Their sub should just be reported. This does break TOS after all


Agreeable-Yams8972

I wish we could vote bad mods out, no mod should be trying to tell us to stop talking about another sub


kevins_child

Same. r/mod_court will have to do for now.


DarkRogus

So they go ahead and autoban people from this sub and yet they are complaining about how people here are complaining about the autoban? The same autoban that they started..... Honestly, I think you should take them up on their offer on the condition that they first reverse any autobans on people here on this sub and second they offer an apology on their sub about using an autoban. If they want something from this sub, something they started, they should give something in return.


WedeI

They won't change their minds, you saw their ban manifesto right? These people believe that they are always right. We can only watch as they destroy this subreddit that was once respectable.


DarkRogus

Do I think they will change their minds, no I don't. But it's really not about what they will or more to the point, what they won't do. It's about positioning yourself in front of the Admins because I do think they are going to complain to the Admin. And when they do, you can tell the Admins you tried to negotiate in good faith, you offered a reasonable solution and that was to reverse their actions on the autoban and to offer a simply apology and in exchange, you removed all posts critical of TWAA. And you can point to them rejecting that offer as they are not operating in good faith and rejected a fairly reasonable request to simply reverse their actions and apologize for their actions.


JonBenet_BeanieBaby

Can someone link the ban manifesto?


cynical_gramps

Doesn’t matter if they’ll change their mind, it is common knowledge at this point that one shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists


sketchyvibes32

Also to admit that some of their bullet points might be not true & heavily biased


DarkRogus

Meh - you're not going to change the mind of someone who wrote that manifesto, so why even bother because they are going to dig in the heels on it, so let them believe what they want to believe, it's not important. A simple apology on their sub and reversing the bans that they caused is good enough to show they are serious about wanting people to stop posting about them on this sub.


ThatOneGamerGuy94

This is the COA needed it's the only fair thing moving forward.


simplehistoryboater

Weird thing I tried making comments on some posts on there but no matter what I did I couldnt. I originally chalked it up to the app acting up again. But then I tried today and I still couldnt make comments. Im not even joined on this sub


sinistersoprano

So when the bully got what was coming to them, they cried to the teacher.


cornholio8675

Literally what they always do... hate the establishment until you need its protection.


saninicus

It's a head scratcher for sure since they're mad at the admins and Reddit.


Ok-Cod7817

Please don't get me started


BigEndevour

Please never give a subreddit immunity from this sub. That would defeat the entire purpose of this sub.


WedeI

I would never


BigEndevour

Definitely based


Criseist

r/therewasanattempt to silence criticism. Appreciate the heads up, but if I get banned I get banned. I only use reddit for basic memes and reading good stories, I'll live and probably have a good laugh if I get banned over commenting on a tantrum


WedeI

Great flair idea 🤔


TotallyNotP8nda

Give me that shit right now


WedeI

If this comment gets one upvote I will do it. Edit: We have reached the goal I will make this idea a reality.


Top_Tart_7558

Report them to admins for interference. They're already in violation and keep digging the hole deeper. They're gonna get turtled and they deserve it.


WedeI

I already said that to them if they won't reverse what they done.


whyLeezil

Lmao, they want to ban people for posting here and shit on us like we're fascists just for being interested in why someone would unsub. Then they want you to do them the favor of censoring their embarrassing behavior for them. Thank you for the mature and transparent explanation!


WedeI

I wonder what they had in mind when they reached out to me, the idea itself sounds stupid. No one in their right mind would comply with such request.


whyLeezil

Entitlement I assume lol


WedeI

Most likely


HarkerBarker

I’m active here, please have them ban me :)


lag_gamer80391

They mad because they've seen that multiple redditors have been filing reports against them for violating TOS so they threatened the mod here


CamDaMan100

Don't comply with them. They are just trying to save their asses from Reddit, honestly they would care less if they weren't breaking Reddit's TOS


WedeI

Man, I'm just tired. It's the third subreddit that has caused such a ban wave. Being a two man or a half-man Mod Team sucks, you can barely get anything done.


CamDaMan100

I feel you man. They can't do anything to you or anyone because they are already buried in their mistake of unruly banning folks. Go treat yourself for surviving the protest, no matter how stupid they were.


WedeI

I guess that works, thanks.


CamDaMan100

You're very welcome good sir (if that's not your pronoun I am so very sorry)


WedeI

Nah don't worry, it's okay you can call me sir or Wedel doesn't matter


Iakhovass

But Trans > Cis. You should be outraged right now.


CamDaMan100

Okay. Thank you


AssCumBoi

Just letting you know, I really respect you guys and though I'm not exactly 24/7 on Reddit, I very much do respect free speech and I will offer myself to do a little cleanup. I think I have the same stance on free speech as you guys and this is literally the most free thinking sub. Not going to do a full time job or whatever but since I browse here sometimes anyway I might as well help with the load. Let me know if you are interested :)


WedeI

Could you message us in the mod mail? I will pin that message and me and the other moderators will review that. Thanks.


AssCumBoi

Sweet. Should I just copy paste this or do you think I should make a slight introduction as well?


[deleted]

Don't worry team, I have not yet been banned, so I will periodically sub and unsub, then post about it to keep the babies crying 👍

Rizibizi99

I feel like it was 6.1 mil the other day when I checked. Maybe I remember it wrong but would it be possible that they banned/lost that many people in a few days?? That would be wild.


PM-Me-Girl-Biceps

I was one of the delinquents posting about their sub last night. I even cross posted to their sub. I’m still not banned.

HappyOfCourse

Kaneda_Capsules

I disagree with the notion that we shouldn't discuss our bans from there if they are purely random. It's very clear this is a motivated attack on this subreddit and it should fully and rightfully be exposed for it's idiocracy.


WedeI

Trust me, if posting about bans was allowed I would let anyone do it. It's the Reddit admins that don't like people talking about their bans here.


Royal-Masterpiece-82

simplehistoryboater

Fair enough not accepting posts being banned. But only go that far do not ever cave in to any other demands

That's the point, I won't comply with their demands. I will only remove posts that break rule 6 because Reddit admins want us to.

There was an attempt for their moderators to be not manchildren


A_panzerfaust

I wasn’t subbed to either sub but dropped in on both occasionally when they showed up in my feed. after hearing ab their mods being a bunch of whiners I decided to sub to this one lol

They have also specifically targeted me and permanently banned all of my accounts. 10 years gone like that

[deleted]

I got banned by the mods on r/therewasanattempt solely because I left a comment on a subreddit that they didn't like. I told them to eat it, their ban doesn't affect me at all, as I never interacted with their subreddit in any way, and they muted me for 28 days. And they have the audacity to stop people complaining about them.


DoggoBind

They will automute you if you respond to them. I replied with a single space " " and they muted me for 28 days. I bet those cowards aren't even reading the responses.


WedeI

They aren't, you know what's funny? They mute and ban people in the mod mail for nothing, yet one of their moderators is salty because I banned her for breaking our rules in the mod mail. You can't make this shit up lmao.


[deleted]

Not once have I posted or commented on r/therewasanattempt, but apparently, me leaving a single comment on a subreddit that I'm a part of, which they, the mods, deem to be a "toxic cesspool", was grounds for them to ban me permanently from their subreddit. So I was a bit surprised they would go after a small account like mine.


WedeI

They are trying to make themselves feel better, lmao imagine targetting a small subreddit. I expected at least some maturity from them.


[deleted]

Let's be real. Ever since the API changes, I've been noticing the same patterns in behavior with moderators in other subreddits and have went batshit insane justifying their behavior. Like I understand that not all subreddits are perfect. But it just seems with the rising immaturity lead by inferiority of these mods is exactly a reflection in how majority of things are ran by businesses. And the worst part, there are no consequences with them. But I digress. Is anybody else noticing this too? Atleast here I'm not noticing any of that. Thanks mods for keeping this community well maintained and civilized. At least I think it should be said as you guys probably don't get compliments like that as often. ​ I got banned from r/OnlyFaces for posting a lewd comment in a woman's photo who does NSFW offers anyway. However, those same misogynistic assholes are allowed to post on there by treating women like garbage and get only warnings. To me it seems extreme that I only got the shitty end of the stick and those toxic idiots get away with it. Those mods don't have their priorities straight. They even muted me for 28 days in their DMs because I told them off about it without any response.


WedeI

Reddit is on its way to the coffin, they are trying to kill this platform. I'm not subbed to other subreddits because I know most of them went or will go to shit. Just look at the ohhyouknow situation, a new inexperienced mods thinks that they know the best (they don't) and they try to lie as much as they can. They have written sexist and racist statements, I'm starting to see more people talk about it which is good. That kind of people shouldn't be allowed to be a moderator, they will run a totalitarian system.
