Turning everyone into mods is a horrible idea, because reddit will hand over ownership of any sub doing any kind of protests to the first mod that contacts them and asks for it. At least one sub was taken over because of that by a person who had basically no clue about what they were doing.

It's dangerous and just asking for Reddit to take over.

Under Falling Skies is great, but it's really more like the old Space Invaders game or even Missile Command and has nothing to do with Xcom other than involving an alien invasion.

It's a one player worker placement game essentially.

And why they're advertising software auditing serivices to make sure. Because that's what this actually is. An ad for that service, for companies, not individuals.

That's exactly how it works.

Left and Right are always relative positions, not absolute one. And they are relative not only to each other, but to the polics of the country as a whole.

Mount Everest's high IS absolute, so it's not a valid comparison.

Left and Right are, like what they are named for, merely directions. They mean nothing without a point to compare them too.

Right is typical the traditional position, orginally with the king, and left is the reform/change position.

Which is definitely true of right and left in the US.

Right and left wing are always relative, not absolute. The Democrats might be right wing if transplanted with no changes to another country, but that doesn't matter. They are left win in comparison to the only other party that matters, so they are left wing.

It's always relative.

Which isn't mutually exclusive, plus he can't really talk about any planned sales before they are actually announced anyway.

So the Reddit Effect would be a company trying to do something to raise it's value or make it look good that has the opposite effect?

I don't think there's another name for that, so sure, why not?

And that is exactly why I am here now. I didn't care that much for the API protests at all. Thought they were pointless. But this behavior meant that they were violating the very thing the made reddit, reddit. If subs weren't spaces that anyone could use to try to carve out their own communities, then what is the point?

Furthermore, they aren't even violating the code of conduct they are using to do this, so clearly all of Reddit's promises are now worthless.

Well, as other people have said, it looks like they were preparing to sell Reddit, or take it public, or whatever, and they wanted to make it look as profitable and purchaseable as possible.

The end result is the same, but the reasoning is a bit different.

Anyhow, if that's true, I dare say they've achieved the opposite result now.

Tried that. It didn't take. Even though I tired remove myself, I was put back on somehow.

And the unmoderated sub can be picked back up by anyone who requests it. It's how a lot of old porn subs got turned into subs about cats.

I once made a sub, and no one joined it. I then found out that you can't shut one down. Every. You can abandon it, and reddit will hand it over to the first person who asks for it, but once a sub is open it can never, ever be closed.

You can hand it over though. Or at least, that is how things used to go.

It's also the no 1 best selling video game of all time, by a sizable margin, so it would be a big deal regardless.
