/r/BlackOps3 doesn't like the fact that the mods are merging all the related COD subreddits

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Cioger]

The moderators actually just gave up. No moderation for a week.

Edit: There is a lot of NSFW content being posted without tags if you browse new. Be forewarned. No more NSFW content allowed.

Edit 2: Looks like one of the mods has made a alternative account as is currently spamming his own sub.

Edit 3: Senior Mod says they're sorry for being absent during the chaos. Takes full blame because the merger was originally their idea.

[u/ecnal89 → u/Cioger]

Now that's definitely going to turn out well!

[u/bodnast → u/Cioger]

Some people take the internet so seriously....but this is so fun to sit back and watch. It's been brewing for a few days now and I guess today was the breaking point

edit: here's an album. lol

[u/[deleted] → u/Cioger]

Ah yes, the r/leagueoflegends strategy.

When they did it, everything worked out even better though......

[u/G_L_J → u/[deleted]]

Not really. It went to absolute hell really quick and then the admins made the mods enforce a couple of site rules or have the subreddit removed. When the mods started enforcing the site rules a surprisingly large amount of the actual shit posts got removed.

Is one of them actively trying to sabotage the sub? https://np.reddit.com/r/blackops3/comments/495x4z/ladies_and_gentleman_the_mod_gurr3nx_is_the/

Edited the np link: Also: https://np.reddit.com/r/blackops3/comments/495yf4/number_of_reasons_to_shadowban_ugurr3nx_and_ut/

So, his "brother" is actively abusing reddits bandwidth in attempts to prove a point? Definitely has to be something against the sitewide rules for that.

[u/[deleted] → u/PorkRollAndEggs]

Yes a couple of them are

[u/[deleted] → u/PorkRollAndEggs]

is actively abusing reddits bandwidth

lol

Better np. that link before a mod gets ya

Here's an update for you OP https://np.reddit.com/r/blackops3/comments/4956ni/alright_guys_you_win_you_guys_dont_need_mods_see/ The mods have decided to just leave.

Honestly at this point seems it would be better for them to just hand it off to someone and leave or shut it down.

[u/DHSean → u/[deleted]]

They won't give it up. The Green name is very important. /s

[u/cabforpitt]

This mod free stuff proves nothing. How does refusing to delete spam prove that the subs should be merged? Why not let someone else run it if you don't want to any more? Why squat on other names to kill any competition if you hate the community so much?

[u/GammaKing → u/cabforpitt]

The point of a "mod free" week is usually to try and demonstrate that mods serve an important function and aren't just power hungry overlords. Given that moderators are all volunteers there really is no excuse for the amount of hatred and threats received whenever an unpopular decision is made.

[u/SensitiveRocketsFan]

So the the mods went from ignoring the community to throwing a fit? Why don't they just give up the moderation and let someone else do it? I wonder what the devs think about this considering they frequently post on that sub. Must be an interesting sight to go on to a sub for your game and be greeted with a hail satan message.

[u/PorkRollAndEggs → u/SensitiveRocketsFan]

They won't give it up because it seems they're trying to scoop up all the possible Call of Duty subreddits, including various names of potential games years down the road.... That's why they won't give it up.

It's power.

[u/Galle_]

Now this is popcorn in its purest form: people getting absolutely livid over the pettiest, most insignificant issue imaginable. There's even no temptation to take sides, because everyone involved is equally angry out of proportion to the actual issue.

To be fair, anyone can fake a reddit post. In firefox, you just right click the comment and select inspect element, and then you can type whatever you want it to say, like this. Alternatively, you can just use MS paint.

I'm not saying your comment is necessary faked, but it's a good idea to exercise a degree of caution when it comes to something which can be easily falsified.

[u/budgiebum]

Lol r/callofduty has 20k users and r/blackops3 has 60k. I get it's the newest game but I just find it funny. Good luck, r/callofduty.

r/blackops3 was just cleaned up in the dead of night. Pretty sure the sub is locked too, but I'm not interested enough to try and submit a post.

[u/bodnast]

I love call of duty and I love drama. This is a perfect combination of circumstances to make my saturday night great

[u/[deleted]]

So the mods are going to do a no mod week now.

What is this from, and where can I see the rest of it?

[u/TheCandler]

I mean, you can check my post history.

I kept posting a pic of the one mod who is no longer a mod on any of the major COD subreddits calling me a racial slur in order to bring it "to light" since

So I post the pic of him being racist to make users aware of the situation and to publicly call him out.

I get banned from all 3 subs lol. Oh well!

[u/The-Prophet-Muhammad]

Actually it's more likely that this is just a way to stranglehold modding on Call of Duty for the future. As every new game results in a new community, and if they're not on the ball and make it - some random joe such as myself can make it and they're no longer in the moderation picture.

[u/buckeyecilmpup]

As a COD/BO3 player who is hammered riding the metro home, is this real? What the hell did i miss while watching UFC 196?

Edit: Now all the "If this post gets XX upvotes we'll merge with. .." posts make sense.
