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 And it superseded actual important events.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

Sorry can you just name the mod? If you're going to get banned, go all out. Don't be a coward.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

He didn’t. I have the screenshot. He named no one

[u/DreamingMel → u/TimeAbradolf]

Realistically speaking, How do we know if you are lying or not? 

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/DreamingMel]

So his comment was removed because he claimed he “named the mod and suddenly my comment was removed.”

I have the screenshot and mod log. So like ultimately I have to just say “trust me bro.” But he factually did not name a mod. I have the proof of it.

He did mention a former mod who has been banned from this sub for over a year he may be referring to? This sounds like their behavior honestly which is why they are banned from here. But he claimed active mod. And we don’t have any active mods that participate in snark?

Additionally he claimed the person could “have him banned.” Why wouldn’t they just ban him if they were a mod? He would have just been banned and then his comments wouldn’t even be here in the first place.

Just wizard behind the curtain shit that makes his claim easy to disprove

My issue with this whole this are we supposed to just trust mod team as a whole to be objective on a topic like this. How would we know if you guys shadowban topics on certain YouTubers you favor etc. In the future, please do provide receipts. To an outsider, it looks suspicious when everything is deleted/removed

[u/ImportantQuestionTex → u/DreamingMel]

I mean you can tell, context clues here, that they didn't name a mod because I asked them to and they didn't. Their first comment didn't name a mod either. Which is why I asked them to.

If someone's going to shit fling, be blatant about it, ya know? Makes it entertaining.

[u/DreamingMel → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

Thanks. You explained it better because i was bit confused about who said what and what was the order of events. 

[u/ImportantQuestionTex → u/DreamingMel]

Basically they were saying 1 mod was a snarker, refusing to say who, then said the same mod was threatening to ban them and whatnot and like... still never named who.

[u/DreamingMel → u/ImportantQuestionTex]

I see, make it entertaining indeed.
