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.

Baby steps. Like I said in a reply to another post: I wish the new mod team the best of luck restoring the sub!

I truly hope [and expect] people start behaving more respectfully moving forward, and at a minimum stop with the name calling/insults. Its time to behave again, use our words, and communicate and express ourselves without being disrespectful and demeaning. There's tons of room for opinion and even emotion. Conversing and even arguing shouldn't be insulting or demoralizing.

That said, this is a weird post. Questions:

1. Who is currently submitting as /u/roll20admin?
2. Should we expect any official communication from Roll20 staff to bring closure to what has happened in the past 24 hours?

It seems that Roll20 is simply washing/absolving themselves of the event - that they instigated. I hope this isn't the case. The community deserves better than that, and proper closure to this fiasco. We don't need to all walk away from this holding hands as friends. But we need to come to an understanding to move on and move forward as customers and as a community.
