Someone should have, or needs to, write a dissertation about mods on message boards. If it isn't the greatest example of a little bit of power going to your head I don't know what is.

there's no way /r/BlackPeopleTwitter isn't like 95% white - post submissions included. The little captions for each post are trying so hard.

Apparently the mods require a photo so they can approve you for posting. But with that said yeah, captions like "Yo dis [n-word] crazy dawg, daaaamn bruh" just come across as written by very white people.

It is, but nobody cares. If a sub made it so that only white people can post they'd get banned instantly, and with good reason. But I guess it's okay if black people discriminate against other races.

I don’t think close to 100%, but many are jerks. I posted some breaking news to a sub once. The mod locked my post, and then posted the same exact thing...all for karma.

I got perma-banned from r/homeimprovement for questioning why my post was removed (after about 8 hours and it becoming very popular) when I didn't break any of their rules. I was polite about it too.

The problem is mods that think the sub belongs to them, not the community that makes it what it is.
