god it's so cringe

I'm just wondering if there's a version of SRD that doesn't concern things that are prone to make me lose faith in humanity (gender, politics, social justice etc) but instead focuses on the hyper niche, amusing drama. Is it still a grilled cheese if you add other ingredients? Are well done steaks valid? What about drama in a community for some hyper specific hobby you wouldn't have imagined could spawn drama?

I'm a little tired of the sysyphean nightmare that is dealing with the fallout from reactionaries and am interested in shifting gears if not taking a break all together.

I said "i despise people who use the health clicker. I don even know why GAMINGCOMPANY added it. All it does is premote a selfish sweaty lonewolf playstyle. These people should go back to fortnite and cod. On a video of a person being real "sweaty" playing a game.

I have proof. Screen shot of ban, and a screen shot of removed of the removed by reddit comment from one of the archive sites. Though it only cought tje first part of "i despise people who use the health clicker" before i edited it to say more.

If theres better comment archiving sites let me know.

It looks kinda of messed up, is this a an old reddit issue or maybe a Firefox issue?

I've read a post a long-ish ago, where a Hindu and a Muslim got into a argument, I remembered it a lot but despite that, can't seem to find it. I tried reddit archive but it didn't show up either.

I looked up "Hindu" as that's what I looked up when I found it, but none of the results now are it. (I have a spln in religion, so that's why I looked it up. )

Here is what I put on r/tipofmytongue

1: It was VERY disrespectful with both sides throwing insults at each other.

2: The Hindu at one point said basically "you religion will die out but mine will still stand"

3: The Hindu saying the Kaaba was idolatry despite Islam saying idolatry was bad and the Muslim replying that it wasn't because they were worshiping Allah and not the image.

4: Somehow the topic Evolution came up and the Muslim didn't believe it while the Hindu did. The Hindu left at some point and an atheist came in to talk about evolution, the Muslim was more polite, and asked a question about it, the atheist did basically saying "imagine an Island" and then give the scenario, the Muslim did not reply and a comment by someone else said something around the lines "he probably left because he was embarrassed and did know what to say."

I've noticed lately, as in the past half year or more, that on certain days of the week especially weekends that hardly any new posts get approved or submitted to SRD. Is this from a lack of moderator coverage, lack of good content, or a mix of both? And how can I help this subreddit supply me with my doomscrolling material?

I just had a post I made 5 months ago removed because I complained about the mod team yesterday.

I had a post removed yesterday, and I responded by criticizing their lack of consistency in moderation. Comment chain from yesterday here

In that comment chain, I noted that the mods deleted a post of mine once. I fixed the issue they claim it was initially removed for and re-submitted it. It was removed again with no acknowledgement that I fixed the issue. I sent a polite message to the mod team and received no response.

Now they just today removed some random post I made 5 months ago here.

Why would you go back 5 months and remove some random post I made? Y'all are a bunch of fuckin' weirdos.

every time drama tangentially related to pitbulls gets posted the same 5 losers come in to argue over the same dumb shit and spam the entire thread with the same fucking arguments over and over. its boring as fuck, just be done with it.

You've got circlejerk just masturbating to their power calling everything a call out post, just one person with a bad take, or pulling made up rules out of their ass, and then you've got the mods that just remove topics with no stated reason at all. If you want to close the sub then just close the sub.

Hello, I took the initiative of contacting you here in the hopes of finding a solution to my problem. While I have messaged the team in the past, I have never received a reply so I assume I may be somehow muted. I am sorry if this post is not right for this sub; please feel free to ignore it if that is the case.

This is my issue: I used to be active on SRD but some time ago I was permanently banned without any explanation given as to why. This is really frustrating as SRD is one of my favorite subs. Please, could you at the very least tell me why? Maybe we could discuss this and perhaps see if it's possible to lift this. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding of some sort; these things tend to happen online, after all. I have never been permabanned from any online community, so for the life of me, I can't figure out what I could have done that would warrant such a strict measure. If you consider that I should remain permanently banned I will respect it and refrain from bothering you again.

Have a good day.

There’s a drama going on currently that’s just legendary. A poster is absolutely losing his shit in just about every subreddit related to writing. The drama is a few days old but nothing seems to have gotten deleted and this guy might just be the next Empress Theresa (terrible book written by a delusional author).

Please, I tried but I’ve never posted to SRD before and I’m sure it’d get removed for some reason if I tried. I’m on mobile too. If anyone would like to canonize this amazing drama I’d be so grateful.

I posted a pretty good writeup of the Joe Rogan racism drama in /r/JoeRogan yesterday and it got deleted after a couple of hours for being already submitted. But the existing post was about the IDW subreddit, not the Joe Rogan subreddit. I asked about this in modmail 3 times to get further clarification about how this might work and so far have received a single word as an answer. Can a moderator actually explain to me what was the basis for deleting my post?

Recently, /r/Drama and rdrama(dot)net apparently created an NFT to enrage fans of the deceased YouTuber Etika. In /r/Drama, someone's response to the Etika NFT is pinned. The NFT's Twitter also linked to the rdrama site, which is also linked in /r/Drama's sidebar deceptively under "Minecraft". The rdrama site also lies that they are affiliated with /r/SubredditDrama instead of /r/Drama.

They are also brigading an /r/OutOfTheLoop to pin the blame on /r/SubredditDrama and upvote a comment by one of their mods, /u/idio3, who is 100% an impartial source.

If you weren't aware, r/circlebroke is a sub that is primarily about complaining about circlejerks or other large discussions on Reddit deemed objectionable. Users there could often be hyper smug and the discussions often served as "counter-jerks" going in the opposite direction as the linked threads. It often served for in-depth discussions though threads could occasionally devolve into circlejerks. The sub basically became a dead sub when the mods decided to shutter the sub for the summer of 2016. Additionally, the sub later banned posts about bigotry and redirected it them to r/openbroke which has been dead for years. Much of the traffic I think was redirected to r/circlebroke2 which is basically a free-for-all subreddit that has strayed very far from what r/circlebroke used to be.

It seems like the r/SubredditDrama of today is basically the new r/circlebroke [the OG one]. I don't think it's the new SRS given that the SRS userbase is a lot more explicitly political and also more about bigotry (perceived or actual), but I do think SRD has become the place for users to both gawk at Redditors' (perceived or actual) pettiness or depravity all while allowing for discussion (with the occasional counterclockwise circlejerk).

DAE here see r/SubredditDrama as r/circlebroke 's spiritual successor?

Hopefully the title is descriptive enough. In short: the current (active) modteam has large gaps in timezones to the point that rulebreaking posts are allowed to stay up for many hours before being removed.

The only reason I bring this up is because it's obvious now that the modteam actually DOES care about the quality of the sub after it really went down for quite a while and I was convinced that it had been effectively abandoned, so I want to give useful feedback.

The new mods have been pretty great in my opinion and have gotten rid of the low-effort posts and obvious agenda/call out posting that have become so common over the past couple of years that previously would never be removed and allowed to set a new (and more low quality) standard for the sub.

Unfortunately, many of the posts that are removed are still actioned 6-12 hours after they are posted, which doesn't really persuade people to do better, since that timeframe is typically where their threads will get most of their attention, so people still feel comfortable posting low-effort and call out and bait threads just cause they know they'll be popular as long as the conform to the politics of SRD. I say that as someone who agrees with the concensus of SRD's politics, but also as someone who is here for the drama more than politics.

It also leads to people being more annoyed at moderation, because they manage to accrue hundreds of comments before being removed, so people see moderation as a wet blanket, even though the threads themselves break the rules of SRD.

I think it's fair to say that there should be more mods from timezones that aren't America's peak times, because while the overall moderation of the sub has gotten way better, there's still a very noticeable gap in moderation for 8-12 hours of every day where a lot of low-effort posts are able to sit unattended for too long.

This person is a mod of a whooping 245 subreddits, including several right wing hate subs, a few that are even quarantined.

That doesn't seem like a conflict or anything, right? In addition to just being weird How the heck do you moderate 245 subs?

At least remove the rules you aren't willing to enforce. As it is right now, no one knows what is going on, and half the rules are ignored by posters and not enforced by mods when they're very clearly broken.

Shift the sub back toward ACTUAL DRAMA and not people just lazily pointing out right-wing nutjobs saying dumb shit for easy karma.

You're advertising for more mods... That's not going to help when the rules that exist are completely optional and the culture of the sub turns into a callout mill.

I seriously have no idea why

Preface: I fucking hate edgy, alt-right fucksticks as much as anyone, but SRD is not the place to be calling that shit out. It's to laugh at drama. There are plenty of other places that exist exclusively to call out shitty people saying shitty things.

Due to lack of moderation and direction, SRD is basically becoming SRS Mk. II. Callout posts everywhere that don't link to drama. They're left to sit unmoderated while they get upvoted, and every new person to the sub sees them and thinks it's a callout sub, so the problem gets worse. It's really gone down the shitter lately.

Even posts that aren't technically callout posts and contain some drama are clearly posted more to callout bad behavior than to showcase drama and typically have extremely biased write-ups that make their intentions obvious, which is also against the sub's rules (and for good reason, in my opinion)

Let's not even get into the other problem with people trying to use SRD as their personal army. Those posts have also gotten far more common and typically stay up for longer, though they are more often moderated than callout posts.

It's very clear that the mods don't care about the sub anymore, beyond one or two of them checking the mod queue once every 1-3 days, and even then, just leaving many rulebreaking posts up - especially if they've gotten popular.

Mods: If you're sick of moderating the sub, just hand it over to someone willing to do it. Not me. I'm not asking for the job, but there are people who will happily take it.

You gain nothing by sitting on it. If you can't be fucked moderating now, you're not suddenly going to care sometime in the future. There's no reason not to just cut ties. It's not an investment. It's not going to appreciate in value. (Quite the opposite) Just leave and let someone who still cares about the sub moderate it, before it turns into something completely unrecognizable, because as it is, the culture of SRD has already changed considerably, which is why we're having these problems now.

Seeing an uptick in the number of purged threads in popular posts, some completely harmless. Just me, or are the mods getting a little heavy handed after near total absence?

I’ve seen like 3 comments today telling people to “go back to r/drama,” “r/drama isn’t banned,” stuff like that. I’m completely OOTL, what’s going on?

please talk to us

we are lonely :'(

​

love,

users

The average post quality continues to take a nosedive, the majority of the mods are either unreliable or completely absent... So yeah? Any subs worth moving on to?

Take it to r/subredditwarfare

I found some great drama with an amazing write up from 8+ years ago but it doesn’t have that many upvotes/comments and I wanted it to see the light again. I was going to contact the OP but they haven’t been active in 5 years. Would it be OK to repost it?

Here are some examples.

https://www.reddit.com//r/SubredditDrama/comments/kue7it/fbi_states_antifa_isnt_involved_in_the_capitol/

I may as well be shouting into the wind at this point. Most of the mods are inactive. The ones that are hardly come here anymore, and spend more time in r/Drama. It was several months into 2020 before the results of the 2019 Poppy Awards were posted.

Should we just assume that the mods have abandoned SRD entirely? Because that's what it feels like most of the time.

Just a suggestion. It frustrates me to no end when I find my hard-forged drama post just...gone like that.
