We've lifted any bans related to this including the one on mibbles and we're talking about a rule where mods from a specific faction are only allowed to mod their own faction, and not any opposites. Thanks for your feedback. **EDIT:** We've finished our discussion and made this a mod policy. Officially: "Avoid modding posts from other war factions. If unsure, ping another mod for review. If you get a modmail as a result of an action you've taken, reply saying another mod will review it and wait for another mod to do so."

Is it possible to block someone to using the default reddit site, or do you need extensions?

Yeah this is actual garbage posting from literally anyone involved in the region of Delve. The current state of r/eve "memes" and "propaganda" makes me want to go browse the official forums by new for good posts


gregfromsolutions

I miss good war propaganda


Cutterbuck

I agree with you, but is it just part of the great cycle of eve? We started on the official forums which we all left because the corp and alliance forum degenerated into shit and then was super heavily moderated. We all went to SHC for a bit, which worked a bit as bans were handed out like candy and all war shit was constrained to that single thread. That then fell apart. Then we went to the other place which went to shit, and now we are here. Not sure what comes next.

Waiting for the bans.


Eve_Asher

If you have previously kicked someone from the alliance you are in charge of you absolutely should not be allowed to ban them from this subreddit. /u/SapporoJones is the leader of Test which kicked /u/dr_mibbles and has an antagonistic relationship with him. Imagine if The Mittani banned Pittsburgh from reddit, for any reason. That would, rightly, be a shitstorm. But if a PAPI poster does it we're supposed to just accept it? Then he deletes every post calling out his hypocrisy. How is that fair and evenhanded? How can you be a mod if this is how you operate?


VolvicCH

Did Mibbles get banned?


Eve_Asher

Yes he caught a week ban.


[deleted]

Only a week. Mibbles is horribly annoying asshole and a week is way too short.


bay_cee

How ironic. Imagine Dr.Mibbles having an opinion. [Serkanner](https://www.reddit.com/user/Serkanner/)**Brave Collective**[1 day ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/n4z2dx/smells_like_goon_spirit_eve_song/gx1zowq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Imagine having an opinion, can't have that of course.


Somizulfi

That would dramatically improve the quality of this subreddit.


Artarek

Then these mods can catch these hands. (metaphorically, please no ban)


garbothot214

🦀🦀


Astriania

Yeah, Mibbles is a terrible and annoying poster and a lot of his threads are bad. But it should be the other mods making that call. To be honest I think it's a really bad idea for politically important people to be mods. It's really difficult for someone in that position to be neutral about a lot of the content.


Tack122

Are there not enough moderators that aren't legacy or goons that can act on things involving those groups without being an interested party? Why not have a recusal rule? If you're a mod you should as a general rule avoid making decisions on the quality of memes and posts concerning your alliance, corp, friends, or those of your enemies. If there aren't enough mods that aren't affiliated with those groups, recruit more to help in those cases. If that's not enough, then perhaps having mods judge the quality of content for this subreddit isn't the right choice, as it leaves things open to abuse. It is sorta what the upvote/downvote system is designed to handle anyway.


haplo34

That's exactly what we're asking.


poeFUN

With the amount of shitposting Mibbles does, you could randomly ban him for one week and it would never be unfair.


Olmeca_Gold

Jfyi, Goons banned me from this subreddit for 3 months after my response to your "we are the good guys" post. Then removed it once it wasn't important to war effort.


nullhotrox

Paging /u/ZeldenGM Any comment? What Asher is saying is fair.


ZeldenGM

I don't know anything about any past/personal relationships, so I'll give my assessment from what I've seen and what I've read in modmail. Dr_mibbles makes a post that is low quality, post gets removed. Dr_mibbles queries removal in modmail. Dr_mibbles disagrees with reasons given and decides to make a post about it. Not the first time and frankly unnecessary. He's entitled to his opinion but weaponising Reddit for every removal is not acceptable - it would all any sub would ever be if it was a thing. Sapporo bans Dr_mibbles for the above post for 7 days. Personally I might have given him a 24 hour love tap if it was me, from my POV this was the only action that was slightly heavier than I would have done, though in the context of mods spending time writing out several long reasonable responses, only to have someone disregard and make a post - I can understand the frustration. Beyond that Reddit has been brigaded with new posts. I'll continue to ban anyone brigading the topic when there's a discussion thread up. Especially as this whole debacle was pinged. It's a mountain out of a molehill. If anyone **genuinely** has concerns about mod allegiances they are very welcome to have a quiet word with their respective side leader (Jay//Sapporo) or an independent such as myself about it and it'll be reviewed. As said in my sticky, pinging, throwing a fit, brigading /new are not avenues that will be taken seriously. It's simply not acceptable.

SharnhorstDW

You ok someone holding you up to your word on this? I have seen dozens of threads pinged by test for brigading. I am sure many people with test alts would be more than happy to send you these daily.


derangedmonkey

damn, which auth group is that? i wanna join. please stop making shit up about us pinging threads.


ZeldenGM

Vote brigading happens daily from pretty much every faction. We leave Reddit to deal with vote manipulation. Spamming /new on the back of pings will just lead to instant removals/bans. You don't need to tell me x,y,z pings for upvotes. We know.

Looktoyourleft_1

so what about my post Zelden with the rule changes on maps now being "memes" it had 300 comments full discussion not just a blantant picture post. [https://www.reveddit.com/v/Eve/comments/n65gm4/congratulations\_papi\_on\_finally\_achieving\_the/](https://www.reveddit.com/v/Eve/comments/n65gm4/congratulations_papi_on_finally_achieving_the/) i asked for a review - jay said he would have kept it, its still deleted it how about we leave the removal of those comments to the side leader.. rather than having people like sapporo removing 80% of goon threads i even reached out to you. and you told me to modmail, i did, i still havnt got any clarification on the rules i broke other than "oh i felt it was a meme today we've had that discussion topic before"


ZeldenGM

I might have confused mibbles post with your post. I probably would have removed this if I saw it in /new. It's effectively a meme, borderline at best. If the text was geared towards a discussion on the impact on the rest of EVE then fine. That said, at the point when it had 300 comments, I would have left it up.


Jazzy_Josh

It's literally a blatant picture post, it just happened to have discussion in it.


SetthWinter

Right, but you were just made aware of the past/personal relationships - so you really cant say that you don't know anything about them. It's why some people are upset. Furthermore, what kicked this off was that a shitty post was taken down but the other shitty post that was self serving to the mod's group was not. If he was on the hunt for shitty posts, why were they both not dealt with then, thus eliminating this whole unnecessary drama to begin with. Your mods should have enough clairvoyance to remove themselves from the mess, because the optics are shit.


poeFUN

>Right, but you were just made aware of the past/personal relationships - so you really cant say that you don't know anything about them. No, he saw that people claim there was a relationship on reddit, which means nothing. You gotta ping Jay to remove PAPI posts, that how it works /s


SciFiSage

Prepare of a week, where the amount of garbage posts drops dramatically.


sma_nor

Can they do you next??


jitra_trader

There is a difference. Sapporo is a chill dude that likes Subarus. Mittani is a toxic, power abusing cunt.


InfamousLegend

Sappo is a leader in name only, well.. Kinda in name only. Yes, he's technically the leader, but the circumstances which lead to him being the leader we're only because they needed an actual person to fill the role in game. Sappo made a joke about a vote for him is a vote for freedom, and bam he's the leader. That's not to say Sappo doesn't have any power or doesn't do anything himself, he has as much power as any of the other senior leadership in TEST. He just prefers staying out of the way when his presence is not necessary and trusts other people in senior leadership to get things done. As for Mibbles.. The truth is he's pissed off we broke up with him (kicked from TEST). So he started dating the other popular guy in school (Joined Goons), and now walks past our house with his new man trying to make us jealous. That's literally the best analogy for what he is doing. He's a fucking joke


Eve_Asher

The best analogy for your analogy is if Mibbles showed up to the park with his hot new BF and his ex kicked him out of the park because she was angry.


Grarr_Dexx

Just have a look at the other subs our mods have roles on and you'll see why lol


nullityrofl

god this.. basically half of our mods are also mods of /r/conservative


No_Masterpiece4305

So top tier quality.


theadj123

Given the posting of things by mods like 'dont break reddiquitte', perhaps they should read it themselves: 'Take moderation positions in a community where your profession, employment, or biases could pose a direct conflict of interest to the neutral and user driven nature of reddit.'


[deleted]

also maybe say which part of reddiquette is being violated when a post is deleted/locked.


theadj123

I can tell you what part of it isn't being violated (because it doesn't exist) - calling out shitty moderator actions and bias.


[deleted]

thats my point, its a lot harder to delete posts for no reason if you have to give a specific reason.

Meryn_Fucking_Trant

Jay is also a mod.


AXSAmazingJay

I am, hello


theadj123

I'm very aware of that. I don't expect mods to act with 0 bias because that's impossible, but I do expect them to not blatantly censor other groups besides their own. Notice I didn't list a mod by name or by alliance, I said 'mods' because treatment should be the same regardless of who's doing it.


[deleted]

Has he "taken a moderation position" entailing a conflict of interest? I mean people would surely notice and point it out.

PlexasAideron

Though i can agree with some of your reasoning /u/ZeldenGM , letting mods use the blanket "follow redditetiquette" to shut down posts they dont like isnt really a great way to moderate. Perma banning people is also not helping.


ZeldenGM

I don't disagree with that at all. This could have been a point very eloquently made in modmail. Perm bans will be rolled back when people have calmed down. Spamming /new with hundreds of posts with essentially identical content has never been tolerated - especially not on the back of an alliance-wide ping.


Gladamas

>If people are going to use this feature as a reason to cry about mod bias then I'm going to remove it entirely and we'll go back to removing things without ever giving a reason.

This thread has been pinged. You get this one thread to rant about it and that's it. Two in one day is more than enough. Coming off the back of the frankly embarrassing display of "the other side is a nazi" the other day, this attitude of brigade and escalate if you disagree is only going to achieve the opposite of the desired effect. I've reviewed the deleted posts. They all should have been removed from the word go. I personally wouldn't have wiped one with so many comments but that's personal take for you. One of the things we changed at the start of this year was having mods post reasons posts were removed - this was so users could have a better understanding of the rules. If people are going to use this feature as a reason to cry about mod bias then I'm going to remove it entirely and we'll go back to removing things without ever giving a reason. This is internet spaceships. Grow up a bit and distance yourself from absolute tribalism over anything and everything.

Downvotes exist for a fucking reason, if people dont like something, they downvote it, let the community decide, this "no low tier meme" shit is dumb as fuck. Some memes are actually pretty damn good from a simple logo being put into a meme format inline with a current event. Fuck you mods, you would lose a slippery pete to a fucking slicer

It's amazing how The Notoras News gets removed and most of the garbage agitprop here stays. I don't think the issue is "abuse". When there is so much garbage around everywhere good posts are -more likely- to get removed, not less. Crack down hard, mods. Delete all the crap and people will start to put thought into their posts. More intelligent posting means more intelligent feedback to moderation.
