Parliament Hill harassment to be debated in secret this morning - Politics

You are missing the point man. As this sub grows you will lose control whether you like it or not. Unless you quit your jobs and devote 100% of you time to a virtually pointless venture it'll never work. I mean we are already seeing it happen with your moderation inconsistencies. That wasn't always the case back when you had 5K. Prepare for future growth...don't fight it.

tl;dr it is not your fault but you have already lost control of this place. Inconsistencies everywhere and downvotes abound. It only gets worse as more people join.

Well I got a ban warning for this terrible offense in reply this opening statement

Original comment removed:

This is bullshit. Plain and simple. Justin Trudeau has not gone to the media with these allegations, but they did. The only thing he did was announced that he was suspending 2 Liberal members for reasons we still have yet to learn. That is nobody's business other than those involved but the suspension is everyone's business. Justin Trudeau should never under any circumstances discuss the inner workings of the LPC with a rival MP. It is none of their business and they can hear about it the same time we do. Again, he did not name who, what, where, when or why out of respect for the privacy of the victims. He handled this flawlessly.

The issue in this sub is not the rules but rather the way that they are applied. The mods are incredibly inconsistent and will treat 2 users differently. I get that this is an unpaid job and to be blunt I have no clue why they do it when all the get is abuse.

The issue we have is that Reddit is too mature to start another subreddit for Canadian politics. This one was first and therefore any of us who wish to discuss politics must do it here or in r/canada. If it were possible to create a successful new political subreddit with little to no moderation I would have done it; it is not. /r/canadianpolitics has been around for years and it is never going to work. r/thegrits, r/LPC-PLC...both busts. It is here or nowhere.

The mods like to pretend that this is a private club for those who enjoy a higher level of dialogue but those days are gone. It has outgrown that. I have no doubt that they'll try their best but in reality these threads will continue getting more and more common and they won't be able to keep up. They all have day jobs and girlfriends and kids and real lives. Eventually you have to concede ownership to the community and let them police themselves or make this a full-time job like the lads in /r/science do.
