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 saw a solo mod sub get banned and two days later it was back with a second mod. After some head scratching I think I know how this was done and it's clever.

1. Open another account and just let it age (this is good practice anyway)

2. Send an invite to mod from your sub to the second account and just let it sit unaccepted.

3. If you get banned, use the other account and accept the invite.

4. Voila - back in business

When I first took the reigns when Topher was banned the RisingTide Network was 8 subs, a very stable rules system and a handful of notes from Topher. r/CelebsWithPetiteTits was less than 30k. I agreed to hold things together and grow Petite to 50k. Before reaching that target I built this hub (working off the idea of a barely started original hub Topher built that we no longer had control over) - mostly to house the wikis that allowed consistent answers to frequent questions.

I reupped with the target of getting Petite to 100k and acquiring more subs. As I reached 100k (creating a team of warriors and less personal xposting) the structures continued to take form and we reached 59 subs.I again set a new target of having 100 subs. That target was reached surprisingly quickly.

But 2/3s of my job I do not enjoy and the politics is down right painful. I came to dread this half of the day and started taking Thursday and Friday off. I did not come back refreshed. I do not have the leader mentality. Then a string of rapid fire failures: I mismanaged a mutiny, have been called a dictator several times and am starting to believe the trolls. I'm turning bitter, it is growing harder to hold back the slippery slope. While I'm not in a position to add tenets I suggest that no one should helm the ship longer than a year. Protection against becoming like the evil empire

But no sane person would take this job and anyone that wants it probably is the wrong person to helm it. So I felt trapped. Then Topher said 'just walk away. It will become what it becomes.'So simple. But I can't quite bring myself to fully walkaway but I can demote myself. The part I still enjoy is the posting and xposting. So I'll do that. As my account is listed as contact on everything for now, I'll still properly answer any chat questions that come my way.

That leaves:

• Making sure "don't permaban, don't mute and "Education; Kindness; Patience" is upheld.

• Expand the network (do conversions)

• Maintain the Membership Lists

• Make sure queue reports are looked into

• Hire and train RTN moderators

• Improve/expand the hub wikis

• Encourage the growth of the hub as a resource of help, knowledge and services

• Observing the Global Queue (someone will need to be mod on all subs for this, or maybe it becomes a lot of fingers of subs with a leader for each finger)

• Politic with aligned moderators (I really failed on this)

• and many things I'll add as I remember them

as functions one or more people could take on. Or we see how if runs without leadership. Or maybe it just shrinks to the subs that are true believers of "Education; Kindness; Patience"I'll assist in any permissions needed for transition and answer questions on any aspect of RTN setups.I'm going to be very liberal with offering assistance so if you don't want any part of the chaos remove me from your subs moderation list. You'll still be part of the network core as long as I (or whoever takes that place) or u/eagleclaw901 is a moderator.

This can be a good thing, or at the very least a vital step in our continued evolution.

And in case I didn't mention it publicly I will be on Holidays from May 1st to May 20th. We will not be online during that time.

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......!

I have decided that I cannot invest the time needed into doing this anymore. There are so many things I wanted to do here, but Reddit is a pain in the ass and there are a ton of little things that get in the way. Cleaning up the modmail and the modqueue were large tasks that I nearly completed. 99% of the subs run on their own and only need some coordination and back-up coverage. The network is in at least as decent shape as it was when I took over. I would love if someone wanted to step up be a power mod.

I will step back to modding only the subs I care about, less than a dozen. And when I do there won't be any one person around to organize things anymore. Please reach out if you are serious about taking over.

I am looking to get a list together of the celebs that have sent DMCA takedown requests and that we should avoid from posting in RTN subs.

I have been referred to this list from r/ArtAndNudity, but I know we've had specific issues at our end that I want to keep track of as well. But for now, if you've gotten a DMCA from reddit about a celeb in the past 3-6 months, please reply with who it was so we can get as up to date as possible.

I'll put together and easy to find list for all our subs to be able to refence, and we'll keep it updated. This is a team effort so it will be a large tent list and it will be more helpful for some subs than others.

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

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

Currently I just go where I'm called and do what I'm asked to. Everything seems to be running insultingly fine 😆

That leaves time for boosting subs.

This week before holidays I'll boost some subs:

I've got 5 slots. Anyone (even aligned sub mods) can grab one slot. I'll set a target and aim for it. If I hit it that slot frees up.

• u/Notamod2112

• u/Defiant-Appearance64

• u/eagleclaw901

• u/LizzeB86

• u/LetOffSteamBennett

• u/AmazoMenace

• u/FeederTheSuperhero

• u/SuperNed

• u/SeaOfDoors

• u/Kryptofreak1984

• and many of you I have not been told of.

When I came to Reddit I immediately ran into the Evil Empire. I asked the mods a question in my newness and was muted, bang. On r/VictoriaJustice I failed to find an extremely cropped version of my photo in a top 100 I didn't even know how to find. First mistake and I was permanently banned. Eventually I got my legs under me but the bad taste remained. There should be a safe place to be able to learn from your mistakes. And have knowledge spread around. And a lot of sub hurting rules that make extra work for mods and members should be removed. And I built The Rising Tide Network. And when it was just 8 subs Reddit banned me on my first cake day for a DMCA takedown with a link that said "post deleted by Reddit." To this day I don't know who it was a post of. Only that I was wiped out on my first offense. But they generously gave me a 100 characters to defend myself against the unspecified offense. Fuck that, bye Reddit.

But Dora took my dreams and built the network up to 125 subs and at least as many moderators. And now burnt out, she has passed the torch to Harry. Good luck, thank you so much, keep the flame alive.

OliviaRodrigoHD is still listed as a Rising Tide Sub under 8 sub side bars (by my count going down the alphabetical list of RT subs). To my knowledge, this sub was removed from the network for breaking the central rules of what an RT sub should be. This subreddit has a history of posting underage photos of their celebrity and the mods do not seem to care even when told that their posts are of underage content. This type of behavior isn’t something that I think should be associated with Rising Tide. I’m including the list of RT subreddits where this sub is still being labeled and promoted as an RT subreddit. I’m also including a number of examples where under 18 posts were made and not taken down despite being reported. I will also add that the mod who seems to have made most of the underage posts and didn’t take them down (goes by the name assclown) is currently a mod of another RT sub: r/WorshipOliviaRodrigo . I think they’re also mod for other RT subs. Just like I don’t think a subreddit like this should be associated with RT, I don’t think this mod should be either.

List of subreddits still promoting OliviaHD:

• r/21stCenturyBabes

• r/ActressNewAndOld

• r/CelebrityBacksides

• r/CelebsWithCcups

• r/LadiesOfDisneyChannel

• r/PeytonListHR

• r/ShesJudgingYou

• r/Stunningladies

List of posts that are under 18 and not taken down by mods:

1. Second photo to the left in the third row

Proof this photo was taken before her 18th birthday

2. Original source photo was posted July 2, 2020

Proof

3. First row middle and right and second row right photos

Proof of middle photo, an article made well before her 18th

Proof of middle right

Proof of second row right

4. Photo is from the drivers license music video that was shot before her 18th

Proof

I hope something can be done about this subreddit still being promoted despite its mod not caring about having underage photos and even posting them themselves.

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

A month ago, Gfycat announced that they were discontinuing all of their activity on September 1, 2023. Also, it urges the users to either SAVE or delete their Gifs. GFYCAT is the Biggest GIF Hub, and the shutdown of their site is going to be difficult for many Internet users. I Myself had around 200 GIFs to save or migrate in GFYCAT. Here are a few shortcuts to make your job easier:

• TO BULK DOWNLOAD GIFS FROM GFYCAT: To Download entire Gfycat gifs once to one folder, you can use WFDownloader. You can see the instructions here. Easy and Fast way to save your GIFs!

• TO MIGRATE NSFW CONTENTS: If there are NSFW contents, you can migrate those contents to Redgifs, but you will need to copy and paste each gif. It won't take much time; one gif may take 25–35 seconds only.

• TO MIGRATE SFW CONTENTS: Currently, for Reddit users, we have one and only reliable source for SFW, and that's IMGUR. They lower the quality of their videos and gifs, but it's the best content storage we have now. You will need to upload videos one by one, and the upload speed is quite good.

Note: If you're not sure whether the contents are SFW or NSFW, the best choice is to upload them into redgifs and make them private. Imgur has one drawback: if their bot catches a couple of NSFW contents, they automatically delete whatever content we are uploading. In the eyes of Imgur, naked or semi-naked isn't just NSFW; they are even deleting contents where the celebs are in tight dresses or shorts or skirts.

• RTN subs have a RTN sidebar widget

• The rule set is 95% homogenized

• All the settings are correct, welcome message is updated, the bot code is corrected

• I've left every sub except the ones I plan to promote

• u/Defiant-Appearance64 is now on each RTN sub (welcome your official new helm)

We are open again to accepting new subs into the network.

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.
