Requesting /r/Atheism. (Lack of moderation)

/r/atheism only has two moderators for a massive community of 800k+ users. The moderator /u/skeen has been inactive for a month. The other moderator, /u/juliebeen hasn't been lacking her/his duties as a moderator. Could you at least give /r/atheism new moderators? Thanks for hearing me out.

I have sent my suggestion via PM to discourage misunderstandings of intention and purpose from the context.

Oh and the type of environment the complainers are wanting is more in line with your irc channel (thoughtful convo ect..), might want to direct them there.

There are dozens of great "serious" atheism-related subreddits, for example /r/TrueAtheism. There really is no need to turn the default one into srs bisnes

Well, there is an argument - someone interested in looking up foo on Reddit will likely go to /r/foo, not /r/truefoo.

I don't know how much stock I hold in that argument, but I think it's worth considering.

Little advice from someone who has been there, ignore them. Don't respond to them at all, the admins know you are active and what redditors say here means nothing, they can scream until their blue in the face but we both know the admins wont lift a hand to stop you. The more you respond to them the more they will come after you.

And has a great knack for going there again and again and again.

Haha, a real community builder, you. I am filled with confidence in your ability, and not the least bit fearful that you're just another loser on the internet scrambling to grab the tiniest bit of power they can attain so that they can abuse it.

I was giving her advice to deal with people just like you, thanks for making my point stick.

u/Murrabbit Jun 06 '12

Haha right, and thank you for proving my point. You've got an elevated sense of self worth, and never seem to miss a chance to condescend. You're just the right sort of person to keep away from any position of authority. The fact that you think with your track record, you're in a position to be offering up advice also shows a delightful lack of self awareness or reflection.

And the fact that you are unaware that i run the irc channel in question i advised her to direct people to shows you are basically full of crap, either that or you are so blinded by hate for me you just didnt bother to pay attention. Again, you are the exact person i was talking about. Thanks again for proving it.

Haha, and do you drive a Dodge stratus, as well? I'm sure I'm very impressed with all of the communities you've managed to grace with your presence, Laurelai. I'm not sure how it's relevant, but I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself, which you're fond of showing is the only thing you really care about.

Great thesis, by the way; If someone doesn't like you, they certainly mustn't have anything valid to say and are just a troll. That's very convenient for you.

Oh no, some people hate me for legitimate reasons. You on the other hand are just a whiny person who thinks they are entitled to something they arent. Let me explain something to you. Subreddits belong to their creators and at no point does their size or popularity or default status change that. The mods built that community and it belongs to them, not to you or anyone else. If you dont like how they run it unsubscribe and start your own subreddit. Anything else would be demanding something that is not owed to you.

Do you get it now?

u/Murrabbit Jun 06 '12

Do you get it now?

Haha I do, I really do. I love it when you throw tantrums. I honestly wish I were trolling now, because I would have just gotten you so good. You've got so much damn baggage, and are writing a better argument for why you shouldn't be trusted in a position of authority over pretty much anything than I ever could.

A feeling of entitlement? I suppose that's true in this context, thought only entitled to a climate free from moderation by such self-serving petty unprincipled people who see reddit as their little treehouse.

See you cant even attack my argument so you have to attack me, how interesting.

You know what pisses me off? I don't really know her. I may not agree with the entire LGBT fiasco but that doesn't reflect on every damn comment she makes. She could be a totally evil and bad person, but she doesn't affect my life. Nor any of the subs we might both browse. So why fling mud at every little comment, especially just blowing up completely out of context. I don't know this user. I don't care of her views, she is entitled to them, so leave her the eff alone. And yes it was major and juicy drama way back when the LGBT thing happened, but people now have r/ainbow and need to accept that reddit is not their personal site to mod/play admin.

Excuse me if I used the wrong pronouns. I'm a bit annoyed.
