Dear r/Music subscribers,
As many of you know, we decided to black out our subreddit on the 12th. As of today, we've yet to have any sort of productive discussion with Reddit's admins. Instead, we have a new admin account (operated by an anonymous admin) spamming moderators to demand that they all "get back to work".
Site admins are hiding behind a newly-created (pop-up) account called /u/ModCodeofConduct, which appears to have been manifested out of thin air a few months ago to haphazardly appoint random users to moderate subreddits.
We want to have a proper dialogue with site administrators before we end our protest action. If anything, moderators should be getting paid, not paying Reddit to moderate. If you haven't already seen it, you can read the message below.
For full transparency, I've included my rude replies. It'd be an understatement to say that I'm annoyed by this whole situation, and Reddit's woeful communication "skills."
Our goal is to have a REAL discussion with REAL admins, not with this nonsense account.
Comment below and let us know what changes you'd like to see from Reddit, or which changes you do not want to see. Your voice (and your continued support) matters now more than ever. Thanks for bearing with us during these past few days.
Edit: They got so mad, they removed all my permissions: https://i.imgur.com/M7m8iun.png
Edit 2: The admins have asked for the name of our bot account, and told us there's only 100 bots on the site. I gave them four of our bots names. We may have some others on other subreddits.
Edit 3: Admins have cleared 6 of our bots, so we won't be charged for those. We'll chat with our coders to make sure we're not missing anything. My permissions were restored. Thanks for the patience, I know this is a little weird.
