If you recall, someone leaked screenshots of comments on the KotakuInAction2 subreddit that had been removed by the admins. You could see what those comments said even after the removal, because moderators can still see comments when they have been removed - even by the admins.
Today, a comment was not only filtered by the sitewide filter, but the admins later removed the comment, so that it will only appear as follows: "[ Removed by Reddit ]" even to moderators. Now, this is very strange.
This has in fact never before occurred on r/KiA2. The admins retroactively edited a comment by a user. The only time that I can recall this happening is when spez edited comments to attack T_D moderators instead of himself.
However, even those were still visible comments. This was a comment that no one would be able to see, as it was already filtered by the sitewide filter. Still, they decided to edit the contents and to permanently ban our single best user - SupremeReader.
Note that this happened even though we are private. And the link was filtered. There was no way anyone made them aware of the existence of this link. Meaning that they had an admin alert reporting any use of that link. The rabbit hole goes deep.
The end is nigh.
If you want to drive people from reddit you would close the fucking sub and leave a message directing people.
But you don't do that.
I wonder why? Really activates my fucking almonds.
If you want tyrannical moderators coercing users, maybe Half KiA is the place for you.
I want to win a culture war.
So do I.
That goal will not be accomplished by throwing away 25k subscribers, or 130k in the case of Half KiA.
And just how many goals have been achieved since 2014? Because as far as I can see, we've gotten diddly squat done since we were banned from posting email campaign targets.
Close the sub for one week with instruction for people to move here.
See how many come.
