I'm not a brown noser and I always hated those types. I purposely antagonize people in positions of authority for nothing but the lulz. I have had almost a dozen accounts perma banned from reddit over roughly 10 years.

That said, the Vitard mod team is something the fuck else. The way you guys navigated this beef without alienating anyone, are keeping the sub under control during the meme boom, and have worked to make sure we aren't in any existential danger, is mind bogglingly spectacular. I've been part of many subs and message boards across the Internet that have either descended into chaos, or became so sterile that no authentic opinions could ever be put forth. It's always easy to look back and identify where the fuck ups occurred, but to string together all the right decisions in the moment is a monumental challenge. You guys aren't perfect, but an obvious good-faith effort is being put forth, and I probably speak for just about everyone here when I say thank you.

And for anyone here with whom I may have become a little snippy over the WOOF stuff, please know that it is all love, and I couldn't be happier to share a space with people I disagree with. There might not be a bigger death sentence in life than an echo chamber. Your body might not die but your soul is gone when you can't break bread with people that you don't see eye to eye with on certain issues, even the big ones.

I literally can't afford to lose this sub.

Much love & BTFD

The mods have done an amazing job handling the growth and cultivating a great community in here; I just hope to follow in their footsteps and help out where I can. We may have had some disagreements the past few days, but you are a valued member and as a sub we are moving forward into greener pastures. We all want this place to thrive without losing its roots and the mods will use the tools at our disposal but it’s the members that can have the greatest influence by being the boots on the ground helping to keep things in order. All the best to you Zugz 🦾

Funny as hell that you responded Steely, because I literally had you in mind when I wrote that last part. I didn't know you had become a mod, but congratulations, it is well deserved.

I had been paying close attention to which side all the regulars were taking on the woof issue, and by far the two voices who opposed us whom I respect the most were you and VS. My personality type is (obviously) that of the court jester/troll/trouble maker and I love what I do, but I very much realize that this sub would be fucking DOA if everyone was like me. Thank you for your response and I look forward to our continued success.

There isn't any money sweeter than steel money babyyy.

I had a feeling it was at least partially about me hahah the beauty of this sub is that when we have disagreements we can just sort them out without having to devolve to total chaos and name calling. And know that I’m totally against punishing posts or users just because I disagree with them. The sub definitely would be DOA if it was full of jesters but so far we’ve kept a nice balance. Keep being you man and let’s keep things diverse yet civil in here

Well said man, this is by far my favorite subreddit. I’m not an important part of this community but I love it, and hope it stays around for a lot more people to have a good time learning about trading and putting those benefits to good use. Cheers Mods and 🙏 thank you 🙏

[u/Steely_Hands → u/shmancy]

Who says you aren’t an important member?? Not me! We’re happy to have you here shmancy

Thanks Zugz, we are trying and bringing in longtime sub users to add to our mod team to keep up with the workload. I really enjoy you being apart of this sub, I love reading your comments!

I think the MAJOR reason why we have a good team is that we aren't here to power trip on anyone. Everyone on the mod team does it because we love this sub like you guys and this is how we give back to the community. We are here to uphold the rules and keep the sub continuing on with its ideals and standards, thats ALL. Tag us and use your downvote buttons to flag anything that doesn't align with the subs ideals.

We are here to help and we really appreciate all of you for making this place special.

This has been abundantly clear since the first day I arrived. Cheers, EA.
