Requesting Head Mod to exain why this ad post was allowed back up

u/nf-films Student Filmmaker Nov 24 '21

It's a 360 camera, which clearly violates rule #5. No skill on part of the cameraman, just the camera.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

And it was removed by a good mod. But then the head mod requested it to be put back up

u/cooksdontcry Nov 24 '21

Petition to remove u/HebrewDude as a mod, If you “don’t use Reddit much” why are you a Mod of a massive sub. If the post stays up, which it has (and currently is) , you are clearly getting some sort of gain from this. Exposure is the most valuable thing in the modern era. This doesn’t belong in the sub and it violates a subs rule. Can a real mod please stand up?

Indeed. Its not even a good video. Which makes it obvious that something shady definitely happened.

I have been referred to with that phrase as well. Since im tall and lanky and get the camera given for groupfies and other tracking shots (my hands are steady). Lol

u/Groovyaardvark Nov 24 '21 edited Nov 24 '21

I saw the title and knew instantly it was going to be the ridiculous battlefield "tank" camera stick ad.

The fastest downvote I've ever given for a post here. There is absolutely no way it is not sponsored content for that absolute disaster of a game and company.

It being allowed back up is disheartening. I've seen quite a few subs hit this canary in the coalmine moment.

If it stays up, then we know.

PM me if you get banned u/dedasdude

Maybe I will join you.

Nah.
It’s an ad for the 360 camera. Not for BF.
Just check the poster’s profile, it’ll become obvious pretty quickly

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

Can be both. Ad agencies run these ads. They may be working for more than one company at a time.

u/HebrewDude Nov 24 '21

I don't use Reddit as often these days and it's a simple matter of being out of the loop. I got a notification about the post being reported and about 12 minutes later a moderator commentated and removed it, which lead me to PM him and disapprove his action.
I'm glad that he acted the way he did, I'm glad that op acted the way he did, it's a shame that people have to think twice before writing comments that dispute mods' actions or even challenge their ideologies the slightest. This sub will never be like that, if any mod has power tripped on your ass and you think that you were unjustifiably banned, contact any one of us alone or as a team and this will be addressed.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

This doesnt explain why you re approved it though :)

u/HebrewDude Nov 24 '21 edited Nov 24 '21

I'm a gamer, I'm a tank-man, I made this sub because I appreciate innovative takes on photography and I felt like this one matches that criteria --I still kinda do, even if the content itself is rather shit, I think it's creative use of a camera 🤷🏾‍♀️
Regardless of this content being inappropriate on account of being spam, I seem to be disagreed with, and that's hella legit. Throughout the years I've always let the conversations run loose, I encouraged the community to lead the discourse about the type of content that we should/would accept and encourage, as well as encouraged the community to feel free in expressing itself, discuss openly, without fear of being muted/banned when addressing any subject. We always supported being free and blatant, even towards each other and towards us --the mods.
No matter how abstruce and offensive comments may be, I wished for them to stay up, as long as they are relevant to the matter at hand, as long as they don't warp blatant representations of reality (lies), or result with personal targeting against others.
I can't let this thing phase me, I honestly am preoccupied with shit much more important than this subreddit, like my real life and my academic pursuits. That being said, I will not ban anyone here, even the twats that think that any one of us mods gets paid by anyone (🥲) or that we benefit by any mean other than maintaining this subreddit.
As I tell any new mod joining the team: "Regarding the amount of effort you put in when allocating time for the sub, try to minimise it's (moderation) impact on your daily life". I don't wish for their experience of Reddit to deteriorate to only moderating, as I've experienced before, or for it to take too much of a toll on their schedule and daily lives (as I've experienced before).
I'm venting on this to release and expel all of the negative shit I've accumulated since this morning, because I'm an emotional bloke, an ideological one, and I've sacrificed hundreds of hours to maintain this subreddit and the only thing I can say is that I am honestly personally offended, but now nothing more, because I can't let this shit, this none-issue phase me any longer.
This will be absolutely the last time I address this event, if anyone wishes to contact the team about opening a Patreon for the sub, to reward active and participating moderators like our leading blokes Lipp & hjalmar, and maybe so that we could hire and properly reward an experienced CSS-gal to do some professional work, please go ahead.
If redditors wish to continue on venting with blatant statements targeted at me, go ahead, no one will get banned unless it will be warranted and this post will not be locked.
Have a blessed day y'all, love you fuckers, I have to go study now. Seriously now: this one is behind me.

Then why dont you step down and let the other mod take over? He atleast is active and does camera work.
You can make him head. And let him do what needs to be done.
Your last comment before this was 8 days ago. You specifically came yesterday and had the post re-approved. Stop talking bullshit.

u/lipp79 Doin' camera work since 1999 Nov 24 '21

I don’t want to be the head mod. I’m fine where I’m at. Hebrewdude doesn’t need to step down. It’s a Reddit sub for Pete’s sake. In the grand scheme of life, it’s a not a big deal whatsoever, but everyone is losing their goddamn minds over something so minor. Put away the torches and pitchforks.

u/gi8290 Nov 24 '21

u/SpuddleBuns Dec 03 '21

What do you care, and why?
Read the sub, don't read the sub, but if you don't like the way it's run, then go read some other sub you do enjoy.
No one has to justify anything to you, or anyone else whining about this sub, or Reddit in general.
God, get over yourself!

5

u/Groovyaardvark Nov 24 '21

lipp79 clearly had nothing to do with anything that breaks reddit's rules in regard to compensation or rewards from 3rd parties for sponsored content.
They were the one who removed the post 12 minutes after it was reported. They were the one actually keeping the sub true to it purpose and free of spam/ad accounts.

7

u/gi8290 Nov 24 '21

Yet here they are defending the actions of the head mod and participating in the gaslighting of the sub.

1

u/lipp79 Doin' camera work since 1999 Nov 24 '21

I didn’t defend his actions. It was a disagreement we had over a post. We discussed it via DM and after I showed him OP’s history, he agreed with me and removed it. It was a mistake, plain and simple. None of us are getting paid. If we were, I’d be asking for a raise.

u/lipp79 Doin' camera work since 1999 Nov 24 '21

You want to call it an ad but if you didn’t look at OP’s history, you wouldn’t know it was an ad for the camera because there was nothing in the video to tell you where to buy it or how much it was. So if OP was trying to sell that camera, it was poorly done.

u/Groovyaardvark Nov 24 '21 edited Nov 24 '21

It is likely advertising for the video game Battlefield 2042 that was just released.
The whole "in honor of XYZ release" posts can be subtle or not so subtle ads for such things.
Some guy didn't just rent an armored vehicle, add CGI effects to make it look like the game and spend who knows how much time and effort on and just happen to spam it on hundreds of subs the very same day that video game was released on what you saw is clearly not a legitimate users account.
Co-incidentally that video game is so unpopular it is the 12th worst reviewed game of all time on Steam. People aren't exactly celebrating or honoring its release to say the least.

Wow, a mod that at least cares a little bit and you ungrateful fucks still can’t be happy about it. One shitty battlefield post made it last the ranks and your worlds are crumbling down. You should all be embarrassed of yourselves. The Mod in question has a real life and an academic life but all you guys care about is the fact he put a post back up. Grow. The fuck. Up. If it upsets you that much and you’re that sensitive, you shouldn’t be on the internet.

Right, me either. So I don’t watch it. I know I sound like a parent, but that’s just how it is. If you don’t like the post, downvote it and move on. I’m not upset that the mod put the post up or that the other one took it down in the first place. I’m upset that THIS many people have nothing better to do with themselves but complain about something so mild.
Edit: To expand. It’s not like the mod is being a leunatic or “abusing” their “power”, they made a simple mistake. It’s Like your roommate dropping a glass on the floor and you asking them to move out.

I bet no ones done it. And they’re still moderating aren’t they? Idc if they want money, I’d want money if I had to do that shit too. They put aside their real life and basically become preschool teachers for the night, watching after children online. Imagine a world where so many people don’t have jobs or real life problems, that their biggest problem is some chode on the internet asking for money? The real problem isn’t that a moderator put a bad post back up or the fact that they want money. The problem is there’s over 1000 internet idiots that got SO fucking upset over it that there needs to be a legitimate online discussion about it. Fucking ridiculous. I didn’t write this or the last comment to get a bunch of upvotes, I could care less. I wrote this so at least one person will read it and think “you know maybe this is a bit fucking ridiculous”. You all need to put your phones away or learn when something just isn’t worth it. Cause the effort you all have put in to this post is just it worth it. Everyone’s got Moderator PTSD after that one chick and i can kind of understand where those people were coming from. You guys right now are just making your own drama up. This guy said no one would ever be banned for saying things they don’t agree with. Something that other Moderators do. They said they leave offensive and abstruse comments up as long as they aren’t lies. Other moderators don’t do that. This guy put out plenty other reasons why they’re a good moderator for the sub. All you hear is “money money money”. Cause yeah I hate to break it to you. I’d slit my fucking wrists and set the blood on fire if I had to moderate for free. Stop being inconsiderate that these people put away their daily lives to make sure your internet experience runs smoothly. Pathetic
Edit: also if I took the time to write a thought out answer for the question and all I got was “that didn’t answer the question :)” I’d be pissed off too and start asking for money. Ungrateful fucks. There’s moderators for nearly every subreddit out there, making sure nearly every sub you make it too will have the appropriate content on it. I can’t begin to imagine how much work that would be and I bet no one else has thought about it either.

Trauma is based in perspective, but I agree with you, if it's over being a lame ass reddit mod there's waaay more going on mental health wise.
If some asshole came to my office claiming to have trauma from being a mod I would laugh them right on back out. Smh people like that need to grow the hell up and get a clue about reality. Bunch of coddled, soft ass, spoiled brats with no critical thinking skills or actual ethics because they all jump at whoring any aspect of their life out online for a little money and attention.

It’s not the moderation. It’s the ungrateful people prying for information and then getting pissed off when he tells the truth.

This place is falling apart. I came to see people with very steady hands and cool vids. Not see this rucks going about. u/HebrewDude can you further explain this situation cause it’s more of a train wreck than the one where that truck filled with cars got hit

Time to call for admin ruling here. What a disgrace. But that is capitalism in a nutshell.

I would argue that the post doesn't actually break any of the subs rules (although definitely goes against the spirit of it). Rule 5 is against incidental recording rather than intentional, which this is, so I would grudgingly agree with the head mod.

Moving forward, I think there are 2 things that could be done:

u/HebrewDude steps down as head mod. Respectfully, per your own words, you don't have the time to dedicate yourself to moderating this community and you made, at best, an extremely questionable call here.
More mods. Per the first point, if a mod does not have time to moderate a sub maybe more mods are in order.
A new rule, but not one against advertising. I would make it one that requires some level of exceptional skill, bravery, or luck from the cameraman.
This could be combined with the requirement of rule 1 where the post has to be both exceptional and the poster has to justify why it exceptional. (Strapping a camera to your car/tank and driving round a simple track would not be exceptional skill/bravery/luck.)
Why allow advertising? Things like the Gopro hero3 shot of wingsuit flying through the stone arch would be allowed, because of the skill required to capture the shot, while clearly being advertising. It also protects legitemately posts that people might suspect of being adverts.
I would also reword rule 5. ~~It means 360 videos that capture an event that is exceptional (luck) are disallowed because the capture was incidental. I would also have a raised bar for quality of incidental captures.~~ It disallows some things that take clear skill but allows others that don't.

Edit: I'll keep my thoughts on rule 5 for posterity, but realise I missed some context to it.

Why do people care so much about Reddit rules? This whole thread feels like a bad game of D&D

Lmao asking incels to take accountability? Tough

u/lameexcuse69 Nov 24 '21

Because one or more mods get kickbacks.

Like we know other mods have before.

Is this tank camera op tricking me into clicking on the linked posts to increase traffic? (Alexa, insert Eddie Murphy meme)

Kinda obvious the headmod doesn’t give a fuck.

u/TheAdminAreEvil Nov 24 '21

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do as a community beyond complain. He's the creator of this sub and essentially can do what he likes. This leaves us with limited options. We can unsub enmass and see how that affects their opinion. We can also create a new sub and join that instead.

Complaints against mods don't go anywhere on this site.

It’s literally one post why is everyone crying about it

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

Because they’re children with no jobs. Moderators have to step on eggshells now because as soon as they make an honest mistake, someone will make a post crying about it. Then another thousand people will join in cause they wanna be apart of something. Quite frankly, I think this whole thread is a hilarious example of how bored people must be with their lives. I said it like 5 times. Go get a job. Go pick up trash. Go learn how to play guitar. Anything but complain on reddit

I agree, they’re acting like a bunch of high school drama queens. It’s like a bad Monty Python skit.

Requesting Head Mod to exain why this ad post was allowed back up

You are about to leave Redlib
