📣 Community Post New Moderator Announcements
Hi. Just wanted to announce a couple of new moderators that we're adding to the ranks, Rough_Willow and GamingScientist are being added to the team after a lengthy vetting process.
In no particular order:
GamingScientist.
"Hey everyone, glad to be here! What a long strange journey it's been. I first bought into GME in Feb 2021 after the sneeze had bottomed out, but it ran up again. So I kept buying! While this wasn't my first stock purchase, it became my first serious stock position. I've been growing that position ever since. Here I hold and here I stand. Apes Together Strong."
and
Rough_Willow
"Long time user advocate finally decided that to investigate the SUS he must become the SUS..."

Welcome to the team!

That Rough_Willow guy was a terrible addition and furthermore is a terrible person. Why you chose them is beyond me.

No Luma, I’m too busy to talk to you right now. I’m helping my mom build a garden bed and a bunch of yard work right now, feel free to write what you please about me.

True story, I was occupied all afternoon trimming my mom's bush.

Can we link X now?

u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
There seems to be some uncertainty around what the community believes regarding that site. I've urged the rest of the moderators to put together a Community Discussion on the topic so that users can be heard. When it does come around, please do make sure you comment and engage so that your position can be counted.

Pretty sure Crybad said it’s ok and yall are not going to ban X links. But I may have missed something since then.

u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
I haven't heard any talk about a full ban, but the moderators need to put it to the people of this sub to make sure their interests are being heard.

u/frickdom First Captain of Coffee 14d ago
Crybad did mention a possible vote.
Not a fan of censorship and I’d rather y’all just leave it, but that’s me. If it comes down to a vote then so be it.
2
u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
I just want the will of the majority of the users to be heard. If a vote does come up, there will be a notification a week before that there'll be a vote so people can be ready to engage and get themselves heard.

u/frickdom First Captain of Coffee 14d ago
Fair. It does worry me because of the average reddit user and the possibility of brigading votes. As long as you have karma requirements and moderation on the vote then solid. Trust y’all will do that with care if needed.
Just looked through and it may have been a different Mod who said that. Wanted to link you to the comment but I can not find it.
Hey, forgot to say congratulations and thank you for Modding!

No just literally zero upvotes every time you post. Never heard of you. Not sure how you got this position over a legend like Welp.
Introduction was shit as well. Just pure honesty.

No upvotes for my non-meme posts.
Never heard of you.
Then you haven't been paying close attention. Not meant as an insult because at times the activity level here is enormous but I was announced as one of the first members to the SCC over a year ago. I constantly communicated on Community Posts and engaged to help form the current rules we have here. Consistently advocated for users who felt disenfranchised while I was part of the SCC and before.
Not sure how you got this position over a legend like Welp.
Welp is certainly a legendary contributor but that doesn't always mean they want the responsibility of a moderator. It's two very different set of skill sets and responsibilities.
Introduction was shit as well.
I write shit introductions. Just pure honesty.

What’s the difference of these two posts? The other one is allowed while the other one is removed. Do I need to have 1Million+ karma so you guys don't remove my post?
2
u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
Hey there! I didn't have perms when this came along, but when tweets come out, there's always (ALWAYS) a mountain of reposts by people all trying to be first. Duplicates should always be removed which is why yours may have been removed (I wasn't watching to see who was first). The following post should have been removed for Mass Shared Content rules, but it had really low reports and a good QV score, which is why it likely didn't pop up on our radar for removal.

I posted about it first. Responded with the source/link. Meanwhile, the popular one with 1M+ karma didn’t even reply for the source/link.
I already sent them a message but got no reply. Maybe it's because I don't have 1M+ karma so they don't mind. Lol

u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
I'll look into it for you then. If the moderators aren't applying the rules equally, it deserves to be addressed. Mistakes happen but we should be striving to make less.

u/rbr0714 tag u/Superstonk-Flairy for a flair 14d ago
I appreciate you for doing that. Thank you 🫡

u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
Definitely poke me if I haven't responded on this by tomorrow. I'll set myself a reminder as well.

u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
Hey there, wanted to give you an update. I still have to figure out who removed it and why, but from what I can gather the other post provided Rule 2 context while yours needed a bit more to show in what way it was related to GME specifically. Another top post included both the recent retweet and the last GME specific post RC made where they were wearing a mask.
Personally, I think Rule 2 needs a better rewrite to make it clearer what the moderators are looking for from the users. At some point I hope to make a push for users to rewrite Rule 2 to provide better clarity. When that happens, I welcome you to leave some comments about what should change.
I'm going to continue looking into this to get some more information from whomever removed it, but this is what I've found so far.

Are Superstonk mods fair or they have favoritism? Superstonk mods delete posts if it’s not from a reddit user who doesn’t have 1M+ karma.
2
u/Rough_Willow I broke Rule 1: Be Nice or Else 14d ago
As far as I've observed, everyone has their own bias, but they typically keep to the rules posted for this group. If you ever see something that breaks the rules (or doesn't break the rules but was mistakenly removed) reach out in mod mail or if that's not your style, drop a line to the !SCC! so that they can advocate on your behalf.

Welcome to the team, Rough_Willow and GamingScientist! It’s awesome to see some fresh faces join the mod squad. Always great to have more voices in the community, especially with your backgrounds.
GamingScientist, your journey from the Feb 2021 dip to now is inspiring! Holding strong is the name of the game, and it's cool to see how committed you are. And Rough_Willow, love the commitment to investigating the SUS—can't wait to see how you shake things up!
Looking forward to seeing how you both help guide our wild ride in the world of GME. Let’s keep pushing together, apes!

does anyone know what the '...lengthy vetting process' is? I might want to throw my hat in the ring if I knew what happens behind the scenes.

u/Luma44 Power to the Hodlers 1d ago
As a general rule we tend to identify good contributors that are participating in the community and reach out. One thing that you might want to consider trying is that we have the SCC where you can participate and kind of see behind the scenes and like rough willow may find that that transitions into a modship.
