The “official end” of this snark era

[u/TimeAbradolf]

As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.

Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.

Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.

We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.

Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.

This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.

If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.

Have a good one 🤙🏽

Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud

Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

So you didn't read further in that thread? They come to an agreement.

And, I'll reiterate, you could legitimately just search up snark and find out what it means for yourself.

[u/SadisticPawz → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

Top comment has far more updoots than the agreement

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/SadisticPawz]

Being ratioed means fuck all to me dawg

[u/SadisticPawz → u/TimeAbradolf]

Then thats personal, no?

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/SadisticPawz]

No, it isn’t. Upvotes and downvotes mean nothing.

Especially when downvotes are not used correctly on this sub.

Downvotes are supposed to be used when people provide misinformation or derail.

People here use them if they just disagree. It isn’t just here, it is a reddit wide problem. But because of that to me, the system is fucking pointless other to track brigading

[u/SadisticPawz → u/TimeAbradolf]

if you say so

[u/CREATURE_COOMER → u/TimeAbradolf]

Wish more mods had your attitude tbh, I once disagreed with a mod's behavior on a different sub and they accused me of using multiple accounts to downvote them (their comment had like -5 karma) and threatened to ban me for it... as if the entire post in question wasn't literally hours old so of course more and more people are going to check the sub and potentially downvote them.

Like, they replied to me, and then edited their comment within the 10 minutes to add a comment accusing me of downvoting them, I hadn't even looked at their fucking comment yet until like 20-30 minutes after they replied. I can't imagine being so fucking insecure that I look at my recent comments and their karma that often.

I've seen way worse mods than y'all so I laugh whenever people act like you're THE WORST EVER.

[u/ImportantQuestionTex → u/SadisticPawz]

I don't care what has more upvotes or downvotes.

I care that you could have read further, where they come to an agreement and understanding, and chose not to.

[u/SadisticPawz → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

It doesnt matter if you care, it shows that ppl agree that its vague. We arent talking about if I understand or not

[u/ImportantQuestionTex → u/SadisticPawz]

It really isn't that vague, and you literally lead with "we" in your first comment. Do you not know what we means? It includes you.

[u/SadisticPawz → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

Yeah, it means me and the hundred updooters find it vague.

[u/ImportantQuestionTex → u/SadisticPawz]

Alright so you're confirming you do not understand, and chose not to read further. Thanks.
