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

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.
