I recently silently rage quit a subreddit because it got a new moderator who is not very bright and deletes my posts as being off topic when I'm clearly on topic to anyone with a greater than room temperature IQ. I quit after several months of getting my posts deleted. I remind myself they do it for free, which was why I was silent in my quitting. The article isn't about AI writing code instead of using SO, but a follow up will probably be forthcoming.
Moderators: Can't live with them, can't live without them.
Edit: Note to moderators: If a post has garnered several thousands of up votes overnight don't come along a say it's not a good post in the morning when you wake up. You don't know more than thousands of people who have invested a lot of time in knowing their subject.
- stuff4ben 4y agoThat's gotta be frustrating. I'm sure you tried reaching out to other moderators. It's almost like Reddit needs a mod committee for mods so that users can petition their cases.
- labrador 4y agoI think the problem is there is a lot of turnover. I appreciate the work of most moderators to keep the quality up, but like open source, the work-for-free model comes with it's problems
- philipwhiuk 4y agoIt's more accurate to think of subreddits as a bunch of kingdoms with an order of succession than parliaments or such like. Top Mod can remove bottom mod. Not vice versa.
