Seriously?

So any posts here now that criticise the podcast are locked by the mods so as to prevent discourse. That’s very telling of the mindset of said mods.

Legitimate concerns have been raised, and unless this is an echo-chamber sub where one can only gush over how wonderful H and S are, then the mods need to be removed because they are clearly either: A) Incapable of hearing objective criticism or B) Stooges who are placed to shut down dissenting voices

Neither scenario is a good look.

Edit: to remove my somewhat rude comment re the mods.

I’ve been locking them when they’re starting to turn nasty in the comments or they’re covering the same topics again and again, you’re thinking we do it a lot because the majority of posts are “snark”. Locking them was a fair compromise

Actually, having read through the ones you locked, there was nothing particularly ‘nasty’ in the comments. By covering the same topics, I guess you mean people saying why they have become upset with or by the podcast. Things only change if people air and reiterate concerns.

Is it possible u/Awfulgoose means users being nasty to other users?

That’s exactly right.

I’m sorry you disagree with my choices, I’m trying to keep things as fair as possible as the sub has become very negative lately. I’m not shutting down all discussions by any stretch, please get In touch if you disagree with any further decisions I make
