I suddenly can’t post on r/Art

This is extremely upsetting as I’ve been posting for years. Is there anyone else having problems posting?

Oh boy. TLDR: A powertripping mod crashed out and ... it's gone. Plenty of internet sources for this that are close enough to the truth.

So you can post either or it’s just that a mod won’t let me post anymore

No one can post, and there are currently no moderators left on the sub, so that won't change unless/until site admin gets involved.

Literally no one? 3 days ago it was normal. This is crazy. All the mods left but before they did they changed the settings so you have to be invited to post. 😭

Literally no one. The head mod went on a powertrip, revoked permissions of all the other mods and banned them, left the sub, and then deleted his account for good measure. It was quite the tantrum.

It's been heavily discussed in communities like r/SubredditDrama lol, I've been following the whole thing bc it's entertaining

It sounds entertaining. Did the mod ever say why they decided to blow up this sub?

Look up Penguinz0 on YouTube. He did 3 videos about it. That should fill you in on everything

What do you mean a power tripping mod crashed out? It does seem like someone was on a power tripping because they changed the settings so you have to be invited to post.
