for anyone who wasn't around for the dustup when r/ContraPoints declared war on the old subreddit, here's a sample of the moderation team's style:


I've asked you

TWO

Extremely clear questions.

ONE:

CAN YOU ABIDE BY OUR COMMUNITY'S RULES?

and

TWO:

WERE YOU TRYING TO CALL ME A LIAR?

These are questions I asked YOU.

You can answer them -- or not.

And you can participate here.

Or not.

The moderation team of /r/ContraPoints is the moderation team of /r/ContraPoints.

YOU are NOT on it.

Before 35 minutes ago, you'd never participated in our community.

How we run our community is our business, and the business of the people who participate here in good faith.

We don't allow disrespect; We don't allow verbal or emotional abuse; We don't allow people to brigade our subreddit and post off-topic posts and metadrama.

What YOU think you know about our moderation team is informed solely by third-hand hearsay and screenshots released by someone abusing their position, edited and therefore cherry picked to support a narrative.

That narrative is abusive.

It will not be allowed.

No one will be allowed to come here and back-seat run our subreddit, or light torches and brandish pitchforks.

So now,

THREE Questions:

The first two still must be answered,

and

AM I PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT A MODERATOR OF THIS SUBREDDIT?

      I'd ask them to get their keyboard checked because their CAPSLOCK randomly CAPITALISES words

      Jesus, they write like a boomer sending a passive-aggressive email
