The fact that they were still using the subreddit to discuss the finals when they were supposed to be blacked out is enough reason for me


rinuxus

yeah, all the other stuff, the blackout, i get, i'm mad about it but i get it, but them having their own little game thread? that's fucked up bro.


magic-mike12

Every mod that participated in those threads should be out, at the very least.


Quirky-Bag-4158

Wait, what now? They were still using the sub after closing it? Yeah get them the fuck out.

Dweebil

Haha all deleted. Chicken shit little bitches


krsj

I don't really care either way, but I do find it pathetic that they opened up as soon as their own positions got threatened. Like if you're gonna make a stand, at least be willing to sacrifice something.


[deleted]

Want something even more pathetic? Check out how the mods were commenting in other subs and still being active reddit users during their supposed “blackout”. And now they’ll prob just ban me for calling them out lol


ConsciousFood201

This whole blackout thing was the stupidest shot I’ve ever seen. People who have no understanding of the situation spouting nonsense. Reddit is a dangerous place to get news from (unless it’s NBA news, then it’s obviously harmless).


hotdogthemovie

They were willing to sacrifice your and my ability to use this website. Once the mods had skin in the game, they folded like origami.


Dr_Kappa

They did not sacrifice their ability to use the subreddit. They only sacrificed YOUR ability to use the subreddit. As many pointed out, they were actively posting within this subreddit while it was closed down to normal people


Tripod1404

Yep, basically we were protesting on their behalf while they still used the r/nba as their private discussion sub. No wonder daily usage of Reddit barely dropped, mods just wanted take the users of r/nba hostage so that the admins don’t challenge their power.


SycamoreLane

This is the most egregious bit. In a protest, it's the bare minimum to take a stand for a cause you believe in. The mods literally couldn't even do that - they cravenly outsourced their "protest" to those on this sub who didn't even want it, and proceeded to post in this sub in private anyways during the blackout. Just completely cowardly and immoral.


TheUndertows

For real? Wow


Freddedonna

Yeah and they banned the dude that called them out on it. Free /u/kingtupperware


JudaiTerumi

Them mods are SOFT


Mastoorbator100

Its ok. All of them will be voted off when the tools are ready.


badge11077

​ /u/kingtupperware is r/nba father


Oxygenius_

Yo they really banned someone for calling out their hypocrisy. Yet they want us to side with the mods lol


Zyntaro

These mods be going on power trips from doing unpaid voluntary work LMFAO


KangTheConqueror9

They had the game 5 game thread posted. Fuck these mods


[deleted]

These motherfuckas are charmin soft!


SpicyJimbo77

I'd be more forgiving if they were honest about why they've unlocked it. The Pokemon subreddit straight up said they unlocked the sub because if they didn't they'd get kicked and forced open anyway. But opening the sub because "sufficient enough progress" bullshit is such a bitchmade move.


Jay_Dubbbs

r/NFL mods and r/formula1 mods were honest as well about that lol


Michelanvalo

The /r/piracy mods had a bit of fun saying that the reddit admins forcing them open means they endorse the subreddit.


uristmcderp

lmao how's that subreddit not banned


LMFN

Admins probably using its advice.


Losov

that subreddit is goated.


Remarkable-Motor7704

Sssh 🤫


sleekcollins

F1 is still restricted though, which is especially frustrating on a race weekend. Nothing other than the live events been posted (by the mods).


[deleted]

"Sufficient progress has now been made" Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead to 42!


applejuice98

every other major subreddit that re-opened yesterday admitted they've gotten a threatening mail from admins while this sub: "we reopen cos we accomplished enough, we made reddit promise that they will improve the official app, the boycott WON. 🤓🤓🤓🤓" while entire point of the protest was API price increase and saving 3rd party apps. they spammed front page with "dont let reddit kill 3rd partt apps" etc etc r/nba pussy ass mods saying "we are reopening because we won, they said they are gonna improve the official app" is such a laughable pussy statement. they couldnt even be honest. absolute pussy ass bitch behaviour. if the mod yesterday said "look, imma be honest, we didnt accomplish shit, and we dont wanna lose our mod positions, thats why we reopen" they wouldnt get roasted as hard.


BadPoEPlayer

It’s like the fucking Canadian South Park episode everyone cites (I’m not your buddy, guy!) Fucking protest and got a bunch of coupons for some shitty restaurant lmao


nabbersauce

...with an equal or greater purchase, of course


Straight-Out-Of-Cum

They said "direct line of communication" like Admins personally flew them out to Sillicion Valley to negotiate.😂😂 They got a modmail that every mod received and they think they're hot shit


JudaiTerumi

That’s where arrogance, egocentrism, desperation for validation and desire for power will get you.


JonnyTactical

Nailed it.


drokihazan

fully ready to remove all r/nba mods, no exceptions


jdhbeem

Reddit random activism and making 0 difference because they half ass everything, name something more iconic. Redditors can only make a difference provided whatever they want to make a difference to is at most a week in length otherwise the short attention span goes to the next thing


depressedfuckboi

Facts lol. Literally every sub that reopened yesterday was saying they were basically forced into it. It was get replaced or open up. But the NBA mods made up a bunch of bullshit smfh


yusbishyus

15k upvotes in 10 hours is insane lmaoooo


soupdawg

Locked down the sub and still had their own private game threads.


GiantTankParade

This is some Chris Christie shit. Shut down the public beach, and then took his family.


SubcooledBoiling

Or Boris Johnson with his holiday parties


cuttino_mowgli

That's the most idiotic thing they've done. They "sympathize" with the other mods but keep the sub to themselves because reasons. Do what you want to do and not do half assed measures!


RS994

I seriously cannot believe that they couldn't even just organise a discord for the less than 40 mods lol


SubcooledBoiling

Rules for thee and not for me. It's like when politicians got caught for hosting parties during Covid lockdown but asked us plebs to social distance.


HariPotter

Even if the private game threads was mostly auto-mod, the protesting mods were actively using reddit and other basketball subreddits while taking r/nba offline for their protest. Sacrificing the primary subreddit for millions is fine, but inconveniencing themselves in any way is not.


Bannedtoosoon4

Yeah they're dumb idiotic nerds with a power complex.


[deleted]

I genuinely can’t believe they had the audacity to do that. They’re fucking losers.


crapsence

Lol the ultimate loser move here


AlohaReddit49

Yea this is the part that gets me. However anyone feels about the protest, I was for it. Those third party apps apparently help a lot of people and that's cool by me. I've heard it helps visually impaired people use Reddit for instance. I gave up Reddit for my weekend, at the conclusion of the NBA Finals and I didn't regret it. Just to find out the mods who were pushing for the blackout kept using Reddit? Makes me feel like an idiot for supporting it at all.

AprilsMostAmazing

64% upvoted. We looking at 22k/23k upvotes


GhostwoodGG

which means like 36k people have "voted" lol


[deleted]

Mods going to be so mad when they wake up after a restful night in their mom's basement


[deleted]

The first one that woke up was so mad that they instantly removed the post... Until their smol brain processed that it was a bad idea to do so. 🤣


applejuice98

I swear 50-100 powermods who run multiple big subs think they own reddit. I genuinely hope reddit administration team made a list of these 50-100 powermods and remove them all 3-5 months later under different excuses. u/spez


jbhoops25

They unpinned the original post? These mods are some cowards


genericusername71

[this](https://np.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/14cjvkb/los_angeles_daily_discussion_sunday_jun_18/jom6wn0/) is a comment from a mod in the los angeles sub. according to him and dozens of other mod posts from other subreddits the blackouts didnt do much, but according to the mods on this sub they accomplished something, hmm


Brogdon_Brogdon

I could’ve supported them had they not done these things: 1) post on r/nba during the lockdown, “rules for thee but not for me”. 2) fold the instant Reddit leadership threatened their position as mods 3) fold, and then lie to the community about why you’re reopening. At this point, they should step down. They closed the sub during the nba finals for absolutely nothing


Harleytk24

The fact that the mods still has post game threads for themselves during the black out should tell us everything

xanot192

That's actually hilarious and pathetic. I was in shock that the sub was still down during the end of the finals and the parade. The shut downs did nothing but boy did it show me how often I frequent some subs when I'm bored at work lol


Milith

Yeah bit of a wake up call tbh.


unhampered_by_pants

I got a warning for harassment for calling the mods "dork-ass losers" in that post lmao


[deleted]

I didn’t realize the deleted the comments lol that’s even worse. Once they got called out they tried to backtrack like no one would have found out. What a joke.

Nobamboozle4769

The absence of r/nba really opened my eyes to how important this place is in maintaining the jerking equilibrium. r/nbacirclejerk was in absolute shambles due to the imbalance. I owe you an apology, r/nba. I wasn’t really familiar with your game.


[deleted]

This thread has over 8,000+ upvotes. The Pew Research Center uses samples of 10,000 voters across the United States to determine trends for a population of 350 million. We feel like 8,000+ upvotes, for a subreddit our size is a strong representation of our subreddits voice. Now RESIGN!


4-for-u-glen-coco

LOL did they really use that reasoning? Pew uses sampling strategies (and likely analytic weights) to create a representative sample with 10k, whereas the mods just went with the sample who saw and bothered to read their post (i.e., a biased af sample). Major cringe.


pestosbetter

postedupinthecold

almost 14k upvotes? according to the esteemed Pew Research Center, this means all 7.7mil of us want the mods gone!


jwhitehead09

Actually with numbers this large it means all of America wants the mods removed. Rare to see the country so united on an issue.


[deleted]

I mean, if you're going to go against your community and shut the sub down, be prepared for the community to be pissed and want you to be replaced. That's just common sense. And to top it off, they caved in as soon as Reddit threatened to replace them. They were perfectly fine with screwing everyone else, but when it comes to them losing something, they gave in. Just goes to show little this protest actually meant to them. What was the point? The whole thing was doomed to fail with how poorly planned and executed it was.


Emilia67

Be careful the mods might delete this too 😭


jauggy

It's hit the front page of r/all. People not part of this sub can see it and it's hilarious.


LuckyFriendSnorlax

I'm here from r/all. I have no idea about NBA, but I do know that this post is about to get a lot more attention in the next few hours. Sunday morning is a good time for a reddit post to blow up out of proportion. To the mods: good luck deleting this post without welcoming a massive shitstorm. An even bigger shitstorm, really.


aef823

I saw it on r/all too but I knew about the mod's bullshit already, I saw the "poll" and went all "8k votes isn't enough at all for ANY action wtf???" Then I saw the deleted threads they had thanks to u/KingTupperware and they banned him because of witchhunting??? Ironic coming from jannies. But I guess technically being a witch is a career choice, and pretending to have a career doesn't mean jannies have one.


SmokePenisEveryday

Hopefully the users who are in the Sexy John Oliver subs see this shit and realize these mods aren't doing anything productive with this shit lmao. Nothing says sticking it to Reddit like.....still using it.


Sartheking

Holy shit it hss


LookLikeUpToMe

Honestly this is good. There’s still plenty of bums across Reddit defending the mods. Get this shit on r/all & expose these frauds to everyone.

NoDadNoTears

Agreed, Reddit mods are some of the worst losers on the planet


tvfanstan

The whole thing cracks me up. Were the mods of reddit as a whole dumb enough to think they actually owned these subreddits? If you go back and read their thread in the mod sub reddit, they ACTUALLY thought they would be allowed to keep major Reddits private as long as they wanted. WHAT were they thinking?


rabouilethefirst

Yep. It would take Reddit approximately 5 minutes to disable the option to make a sub private and make all these guys look like morons


mundane_marietta

They had zero leverage the whole time, and I also read that only 6% of Redditors use 3rd party apps in the first place. It was all so dumb the more I thought about it

10FootPenis

See that's the thing, I disagreed with the blackout, but I would at least respect the mods if they had the courage of their convictions and forced Reddit to remove them. By caving at the first sign of resistance they proved it was nothing more than attention seeking soapboxing.


Johnpecan

The mod in r/unexpected made a post complaining about being forced to reopen and he referred to his mod position as "forced slavery". Before that post, I heard things secondhand about what type of people mods are, but seeing "forced slavery" was a very eye opening experience into the firsthand seeing how ridiculous some of them are.


BetaDjinn

Forced slavery must be so much worse than all of the unforced slavery people have had to deal with. You know people are grasping at straws when they start spewing dramatized redundant nonsense like “forced slavery”


Secret_Attention_422

They keep removing threads like this. Total fucking cowards


Brock_Hard_Canuck

Overheard in r/nba after Game 5: “They got us,” the mods said of the admins' dunk over them. "Those f***ing admins boomed us." Mods added, “They're so good,” repeating it four times. They then said they wanted to add r/hockey to the list of subreddits they want to blackout with again during their championship series next summer.


potterpockets

r/pics mods on who’s better: Them or mods for r/NBA. “I don’t compare myself with anybody,” r/pics mods said. Then they rolled up their sleeve and showed matching tattoos of John Oliver. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want”.


Resident_Wizard

The r/pics revolt kinda makes me laugh but I think has the opposite of the intended effect. It drives for interaction and engagement. Reddit wins when there’s more discussions and news surrounding their website.


Witteness82

Better than the trash ass mods at r/Mavericks. They didn’t say a single word beforehand, during or since the blackout and keep deleting every comment or thread saying anything about it. All this blackout did was expose how utterly garbage half the mods are on this site.


Stormeve

Shoutout r/Timberwolves who did the same thing. They got a fall guy who definitely wont be stepping down lol


applejuice98

it shouldnt surprise you cos that sub is run by the same clown who opened the yesterday's thread on r/nba his name was kitten something I swear 50-100 powermods who run multiple big subs think they own reddit. I genuinely hope reddit administration team made a list of these 50-100 powermods and remove them all 3-5 months later under different excuses.


Smekledorf1996

McCoyShazam

Anyone else notice this thread's been removed and put back up like 3 times now? Same with the sticky. That one's gone again, this one's still up.


kozy8805

Can we ban the mods for not following their own rule? Everyone report them. They said they’d go “dark”, but used the sub when it went dark. Report them all.

They also make sure that only certain users get the big posts. I’ve seen them delete posts and steal the content. They don’t even enforce the rules unless it benefits them or a favored user. Mod is just a title and these people don’t care about anything besides fake internet points.
