Title: Congratulations BadBear
Post by: BitCoinDream on September 16, 2015, 11:05:40 PM
For being the new moderator at /r/bitcoin.

For those, who do not know, BadBear is /u/Camdien on redditRef 1. Here is an ineresting complementRef 2 by /u/theymos...

Quote
Yeah, BadBear is probably in the top ~200 most skilled/experienced moderators in the world... And it's not like he's sworn an oath of fealty to me -- he's an individual who can do what he wants. If I'm doing something very wrong, I'm sure BadBear won't help me continue down that path.

You dont go to reddit? No wonder. Why will you? There is no DefaultTrust there.

But, your buddy, CITM, who once reigned BitcoinTalk with his DefaultTrust power and now kicked out, thinks BitcoinTalk has been a useless site for a long time now!

Have you done this to every account that has done so? or did you just extend a helping hand to QS just because you like each other. you are not impartial here. unfortunately with great power corruption sets in. but that's OK, btalk has been a useless site for a long time now. why don't the mods post site stats for all to see what is happening with usage, new users, repeat users, lost users etc...

What people used to say about CITM, is what CITM is saying now... with great power corruption sets in. :D

I wonder, on some auspicious occassion, if you find yourself at the same row as of CITM, will you consider /r/bitcoin as a better option over BitcoinTalk?

In Default We Trust ;)

The cat wasn't half so disturbing. This gif is too fast.

PS. Congrats. That was the whole idea!

Thanks :). I don't spend a lot of time on reddit, I mainly use it as a newsfeed. I don't find it very good for actual discussion. I hadn't seen those threads til they got linked here, surprisingly sane and rational, for reddit. Though I don't think there's a lot of crossover between reddit users and forum users. which is what drives most of the complaints.

I do think I'm pretty good at what I do. I had my doubts about being an admin, but I think I've stepped up and done well.

As for it being nepotism, we're not friends (not for any specific reason, we just don't really talk about things non-forum related), certainly not relatives. Colleagues would be a much more accurate description.

I don't like how reddit is being moderated by the exact same people as bitcointalk.
Not that I would use reddit anyway, but I doubt that it's good for the bitcoin community.

Most of all, I do believe that it would be in the best interest of bitcointalk if its mods were concentrating on it alone and not be distracted by other forums.
We already lack moderation in parts of the forum and complaints about recovery of accounts seem to indicate that there's more manpower needed for this task.

Then again, for you personally reddit may be a nice distraction from what you have here, so congratulations anyway. ::)

Good for you. I am sure that there is no conflict between here and reddit. You have a lot of experience with Bitcoin and have done us a great service as administrator.

I might be late but congratulation BadBear. I have never had a direct conversation with BadBear on the board but I know he is a good and active user of this board. It is good that he became one of the newest moderator or /r/bitcoin.
