Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    Let me get this straight- they want mods to have live business meetings with them? As if they’re employees?

      I anticipate in the future that that mods will be required to fill out weekly TPS reports. However, if you only have one subreddit you’re moderating, please use up the old cover sheets. If you’re moderating two or more subreddits, please use the new cover sheet. Did you get the memo on this? I’ll send you a copy of the memo.

      At this point, I fully expect reddit to ask the mods to pay a subscription to maintain their mod status in the future.

      Once the floodgate of bad decisions has started, it’s not really possible to stop it.

          Now imagine companies openly buying moderator positions to take over their own subreddit.

          It can always get worse.

              "hmmm. But is there any way we can exploit brown people in some brown country while doing this?’

              all that is missing.

            The word “openly” is the only thing that separates your comment from currently-happening-reality. Plenty of subs and their mods are bought and paid for.

            Also this whole post from the VP is such a load of shit. “We have a seat for you at the table… if you want it.” Boy only a VP in a big corporation could keep a mouth so loaded with horseshit.

          Don’t give them ideas because that’s actually kind of too brilliant for them — instead of selling ads only, also directly sell the user base to interested parties.
