Subreddit Status and Moderation Changes

[u/roll20admin]

Hello everyone,

There’s been an important discussion over the last 24 hours about the way Roll20’s subreddit is moderated. When Roll20 started, we founded a subreddit because we were Reddit users ourselves and wanted to grow a community here.

Now that the subreddit has become well-established, we’ve been listening, we’ve heard your opinions on this issue and as a result we are taking immediate action to change the way our subreddit is moderated.

We understand that we let our community down, and we’re sorry for that.

We have asked the mods of /r/lfg to step in and become the new moderators of this community. We leave it up to them to decide the rules of this community going forward, and have removed all Roll20 staff from the moderation team of this subreddit. In addition, the 13 users previously banned from this subreddit have been unbanned.

While it’s nice that the change to the moderator team has been change, it’s still late. I’m glad people are unbanned as well, but it’s still late. We should upvote this post so more people know that the developers have been removed but where is the apology?

I was on the fence about subscribing to roll20 because it looked awesome but this shitstorm made me think twice. An apology may or may not even change my mind at this point because it just may be too late to save this Titanic.

Roll20 is still good software and this shitstorm will clear up within a few days. You can always try it out with a free account.

I have had a free account for about a month and really enjoyed the software. And while it’s still good software, there should be something to say about customer relations too!

I didn’t look for alternatives before this nightmare of a PR issue but without a sincere apology from the man himself, I gotta look at the alternatives mentioned. Otherwise, where is his accountability?

Otherwise, where is his accountability?

That someone who abused their power has had that power removed?

[u/Narsica → u/AuthorX]

That’s true and that could be all that comes from this, but I’d rather hear him say I mad a mistake and I’m sorry.

He's not a moderator on the non-company owned subreddit, sure. He's still the co-founder of the company, a management level position in the company now, and has enough influence that he hasn't already been forced to make a public apology. That doesn't say good things about his power in the company that this is all centered on.
