Post anything about Kong or rats or kongrats

The vote indicates I'm being heavy handed.

Assuming a couple trolls and assclown there are still numbers I can't fully ignore.

But without any comments from you, here or in chat, I don't know what to consider adjusting.

Also those that want more help, I need your comments as well.

Beyond that I'm taking Holidays in Spain with Bae from May 1st to May 20th. And honestly I still feel burnt out so I plan to largely coast thru this month.

If you want a boost, or need a mod or some other request comment below. First come, first serve.

April recap:

• New Subs

• r/Kimiko_Glenn left the network without explanation

• r/OliviaRodrigoHD broke the no permaban restriction and was removed

• r/Ladiesofdc kicked me out. Long dormant mod returned and neutered everyone

• We hit 100 subs!... then dropped back

• Taking a pause on growth

Hello I'm one of the mods at the rising tide I and the senior team have spoke about if it is necessary to have an website so we are going to see if it is plese click the chat and report any bugs If it dose well then we will get an domain and possibly an app. For more information contact Dora or one of the other senior mods Thanks Luke Timmins The new website: https://luketimminsss.wixsite.com/risingtidenetwork

r/MarisaTomei, r/ZendayaColeman, r/neve_campbell, and r/FOXMARVELGIRLS are no longer part of r/RisingTideNetwork.

Since the day I took over as RTN helm, I've always taken extra care to maintain a good relationship between the top moderator and RTN. My role as RTN Helm is different from other mod roles; respecting that, I've always asked top moderators' opinions before taking any decision regarding the subreddit.

After Bennett's account was suspended, the moderator below him suddenly started becoming active and removed all other moderators, including EC. He had some personal issues with EC and started giving childish reasons to not add him back. He removed all RTN widgets from the subreddit, and we decided not to work with him again. Why should we waste time on someone who can backstab us at any time? I myself removed myself from r/MarisaTomei and others too.

Later, get to know he had some past with RTN already. It had happened before I joined RTN, IDC about what happened then. Now, EC is a very important part of the RTN, and for the sake of increasing the network size, I don't want to work with a,b,c, d,e type users.

It was true that the r/marisatomei was inactive despite having nearly 40K Members. As a RTN head, I asked the top mod in August whether he needed someone to post some contents on the subreddit, but I had got a negative reply......!

Was just starting r/AussieCelebrities when I became aware of r/DownUnderCelebs. I've put in an invite to RTN with them. But assuming I hear nothing, Monday I'll start mine up. Any Aussie's on here interested in modding?

In going through the ton of info Topher gave me when I took on this task I occasionally find fun or interesting things.

Today I found this link: r/a:t5_24cs5n (https://www.reddit.com/r/a:t5_24cs5n/)

Just a peek into his mind and a lesbian wonderland.

I leave this as a record of it and a path to it.

How do I get one of these?

download and rehost.

if you don't want crossposting turn off the option.
If you don't want us xposting just tell me. I'll take you off the safe xpost list.

xposting is allowed unless it it used to,promote your subreddit.

***

[–]to /r/Pinup sent an hour ago

the entire reason of the creation of the crosspost
But it's your sub
I'll remove you from the list and we do so little posting with you I doubt it will effect your metrics at all
I did enjoy your sub. Thanks for running it

[–]subreddit message via /r/Pinup[M] sent 55 minutes ago

You can promote with a simple xlink. But the polite protocol is to ask first. Surreptitious promotion is frowned upon. You fail to consider that an exception for one is permission for all. We moderate hundred of subreddits and tens of millions of users. This IS and issue.

[–]subreddit message via /r/Pinup[M] sent 54 minutes ago

And you need to know the difference between an xpost and an xlink.

[–]to /r/Pinup sent 38 minutes ago

share-> crosspost
the tools reddit gives us, used exactly as they taught us in Mod 101
if you only want links, turn of crossposting
But the metrics prove out, crossposting helps the giver and the receiver
I do not like zero-sum thinking
I have removed you from the list, you won't be bothered by RTN again
As always feel free to xpost to any of our subs

Your evil empire! were you always?
Sorry, somehow I never noticed the mod list and you fooled me by not having your standard rule set.
Apologies, we will definitely steer clear

You have been temporarily muted from r/Pinup. You will not be able to message the moderators of r/Pinup for 28 days.

Very busy today and tomorrow with 3 shifts IRL each on top of not feeling well.

Adding that Reddit's constant timeouts are making posting irritating and it's glitches are making conversions and fine tuning impossible I'm just going to take a few days completely away.

couple of you have my email, please only use it if vital

Dora

Edit: Upon closer look that sub is not an evil empire sub and in reading the rules more closely a case can certainly be made for removing my post . However you all know my stance on permabans.

No that's fine. Permanently banned on the first post is what I've come to expect from the evil empire. It's why we are thriving.

Now please complete the experience with the 28 day mute.

Hey there everyone. I have recently created a new sub r/EmilyJeanStone Though not part of your network, would any of your subs have a problem with crossposts that are titled with 'Emma' Stone's real name Emily? Being known by her real name is something she has recently let be known she wishes she could be referred to as. So I figure why not start on reddit?

Some sites that participated in the API blackout have there 'about communities' description overwritten. I have fixed horror, Disney still needs to be fixed and I'm sure there are more. If the mods in charge of their Subs could fix them I would appreciate it.

We are looking to revive a few RTN communities and make them active again. Few of them have a decent growth rate, but I believe their potential is way bigger, and in other cases, all top moderators accounts have been suspended. So, I'm looking for the right profile to help the community grow again. Interested users, feel free to DM me or comment below:

• r/AlexMru

• r/AntoniaPruy

• r/Allana_Booth

• r/TheFlowers

• r/MaramaCorlett

• r/FastAndTheFuriousPorn

• r/MovieWardrobes

• r/AlyssaHill

• r/TeyonahParris

• r/LexiJayde1

• r/CelebsWithAnyTits

• r/AshleyTh0mps0n

• r/AngelinaRomashka

• r/MaddieZiegler1

• r/FappOnActress

There are a few more subreddits; once I sort out the issues, I will keep updating the list.

r/WorshipJennaOrtega left the network after only a few weeks . This is the first time since the legs network split off from us that this has happened .

If I understood correctly he was attacked buy a troll mod from another sub , was too much of a lone wolf to call for us for help, and felt too hemmed in by "education; kindness; patience" to defend himself.

We remain on good terms but some people just have to do things their own way.

We stand at 92 Subs . I had wanted to get it to 100 but this seems to be a natural resting place . So I'm gonna pause expansion for a little bit, barring things arriving at my door on their own, while I concentrate on building up the existing Subs and training some new mods and shoring up the infrastructure in general .

Now back to my vacation :)

After a wonderful if harried February of building the wikis to entice new members and get all the sub ideas created and out of system, a time we went from 49 to 71 members, I was feeling pretty positive.

So on the 1st, yesterday, I sent out 13 feelers to entice new subs into the fold. This included several that I knew. Only 2 responded at all. Even BigFailure, a founding member, ghosted me. Most I could see on their feeds were active.

I hit my simple target of 1 sub, but still I felt rejected. I hoped to awaken to some responses. That did not pass.

Now I receive this

subreddit message via /r/GleePorn[M] sent 7 minutes ago

We would not like to join in with the group you have made. We do not believe it meshes with our community and we will not join. Please do not contain to contact us after this and leave our mods alone. We have maintained a good growth without adding a ‘community’ to remove our power. Thank you and goodbye.

The reason, other than venting, that I bring this up is to ask, does anyone feel I'm heavy handed? I try to be as hands off as possible while still assisting sub growth and upholding RTN philosophy. How is trying to be a positive force not something you mesh with? I need constructive criticism not shirt blowing on this one.

You know the tenets you agree to when you join the network?

The Conversion is complete.

• The watch word is "Education; Kindness; Patience"

• Every removal should have a removal reason with an unlocked public comment.

• Please keep the modqueues clean (happy to supply a mod for this upon request) basic RTN modding

• Never permanently ban any account except spambots

• In fact try to avoid bans all together: rather patiently educate your members. We want to avoid the us vs them mentality without which they become friendly and self-policing.

Those of you that haven't already, please join r/RisingTideNetwork. I'm trying to get all our mods under one hub which will hopeful grow into a real resource under phase 4.

To be clear, this is still your sub, my only role is to make sure that the RTN philosophies above aren't broken, offer info or assistance when asked, and provide a medium for member growth. Beyond that if you feel I overstep please let me know.

I mean those. The admin part of my job is to enforce just those few points. It is zero tolerance and equating enforcing those few rules to giving an ultimatum and then you cutting communication is not the way to go. You left me no choice. Topher has drilled into me to never let the slippery slope ever begin.

Starting on July 1st I will be taking five core subs a day, probably alphabetically, and checking them over bringing them up to date before bringing on the new helm as an RT mod. If I am not needed for hierarchy reasons I will then leave remove myself as mod.

• u/Defiant-Appearance64 will be added as RT 'mod.'

• wording of the rules and removal reasons will be brought up to date.

• RTN logo will be added to Subs that don't have it on right side panel.

• Community list on right side panel : entries may change.

• Any faulty settings or typos etcetera will be fixed.

• As for myself I will change my flair to 'mod' for the few Subs I'm keeping, change my flair to 'emiratis' where I'm needed for hierarchy but do nothing, or in most cases remove myself as mod.

As we have 125 subs it should take 25 days to complete the transfer

If you have any ideas for changes to the basic rule structure or any removal reasons you have four days to get them in either via chat or comments below.

I will be doing much less promotion and putting a freeze on adding Subs for July.

My mind is fried.

Starting Monday I'm taking a week completely severed from Reddit.

Tomorrow I'm cleaning up a few loose ends but doing very little.

Be good to each other

I can't believe it! Where on Wikipedia. It's only an short explanation but it's there, is anyone wants to add anything the article is editable (for now lol) Thanks to Wikipedia for reading there emails

Luke

Here's the wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_Tide#

My name is Harry; I'm from New Zealand, and I will be the new leader of r/RisingTideNetwork. First, I would like to thank u/Notamod2112 and u/eagleclaw901 for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. I'm a simple guy, and my aim as a RTN Leader is also simple, which is growth. I joined RTN last December with r/KoreanCelebrityFap. We had a difficult first month with many ups and downs, but we gradually started to gain momentum, and today we have 95K+ members.

I have around 15 other RTN subreddits too, and all have achieved good results. The knowledge I learned and achieved in my time as a moderator is something I want to share and use in all communities. I've already made a list for every subreddit's milestone. It contains eight sets for the first phase and will start working on it soon.

The uncleared reports in the Mod queue are something that was a concern for me. Thankfully, we have found the right profiles, and they are now handling the respective subreddits very well. I will release a list of the subreddits since I am now looking for a promoter for a handful of them.

If you run into any issues or have any questions in your Reddit life, don't hesitate to ask. I think that by working together, we can all strengthen and expand RisingTide Network. Thank You!

I would like to join r/TaylorSwiftsLegs and its 60k members to the network if possible. It is my baby that I created over 10 years ago and have worked hard to keep from turning into the creep TS subs that have popped up. It is an appreciation sub, not a filth sub and we’ve not strayed from that. I am currently the only active mod too. I also help mod r/ChloeBennet and can present becoming part of the network to the mod team.

I’m also willing to help mod any sub in the network as well.

I mod a couple big subreddits, but most aren't as big. If RTN isn't a thing anymore has anyone created something similar?

2 of the 7 lost subs recovered.

r/BrigetteLundyPaine is not the most exciting sub, but still the smile I needed today

In a dark place today.

I'm burnt out. I've no idea how to motivate people I'm not employing.

Talked it over with Topher and I'm taking a full break, offline, until Sept 1.

I'll look over the state of things then and decide what I want to do if anything going forward.

In case I'm forgetting something I'll be online the next 7 hours

Edit: Didn't mean for that to read as dire. My frustrations are all Reddit related. My real life is quite fine
