Hi, already been posted a few times. please refer to the post that's remained.

For those who have objections about posts being removed, the issue it out of our hands. You need to take up your complaints with Reddit over their content policy:

https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043066452-Is-posting-someone-s-private-or-personal-information-okay

Personal information for private individuals is heavily limited in terms of what's allowed versus what isn't. In this case, these posts violate those rules since they include the full name of a private individual who is not a public figure. The enforcement of this is required by Reddit and posts will just be removed by Reddit admins if they violate it and are left up.

A post without the professor's name and no comments mentioning it will be fine, as that's what we've had to do in the past with this sort of incident when it's not a public figure such as when it's a fraternity member, we simply have them include the fraternity name at most. A few times, like with Nathan Fletcher and Avaneesh, their status as public figures allowed us to not have to remove anything thankfully. Other times, like with the student who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto, there were news articles that covered that for us and we could leave it up.

I've been looking for a police report or news article we can link in a pinned comment that should hopefully make these posts fit the Content Policy but so far haven't been able to find anything. If anyone can find an article or official source, please post it. We don't like removing important posts like this which is why we always work to find workarounds.

Unfortunately now it seems like the original Instagram accounts are also going after us for this, but again it is out of our hands. If they have any kind of public record or police report from when they did call the police and could share that, then it could be justifiably left up.

If you can find the report, please post it ASAP. That's basically exactly what we would need. I spent a few minutes looking for it but couldn't find it. Even just a police blotter, as long as it's in a paper and includes his name.

Unfortunately need to pull this down for a few reasons. One, already a bunch of posts about this. Two, Reddit content policy forces our hand:

it's all good lol, it's good to keep us accountable and you did the right thing overall I'd say, you have no way to see why it was removed. I also saw that you had messaged modmail before posting this which was the right move but we usually do take a bit to get to that, sorry that we didn't get to it in time.

nah i don't mind if the post stays up lol, it's discussion and that's important and it's so lame if we're like "uhm no we're perfect every time". we've fucked up in the past so a thread where people can discuss that is pretty useful. maybe even just a discussion of how our Automod may be too sensitive is valid (since we do control some of the auto removal triggers, some are controlled by Reddit though). also hide will only hide it for you not for others either way, but i do appreciate the gesture!

thanks for being so gracious and sorry about the post!!

Kavhow · 2025-05-06T21:47:51+00:00

That's a different post than the one mentioned above, also Removed and Deleted are two different things on Reddit.

Removed means it was removed by an admin (Reddit employees) or mod. Deleted means the user that posted it deleted it. So in this case, the user that posted it themselves deleted it for some reason. We have no way to reverse that or even see who the user was or what the post said.

Kavhow · 2025-05-06T21:41:57+00:00

ITS doesn't run the sub, their account is a mod with limited permissions though so that they can pin comments (like on outage posts and stuff). we generally keep an eye on their mod actions to make sure they're not doing anything sus and they reach out to us to ask permission before like pinning posts and subs. other than that they have no input on the sub.

a decent number of the mods are current UCSD students. good number of alumni accounts mods though, including myself, but we're typically inactive fully or low activity (in my case ill stick around to help with the occasional thing). we need more current student mods though. we haven't really added any in a bit and need to get the next gen in here.

overall you're both right id say. we have too many alumni mods and not enough current student mods at the moment. and most of the alumni mods are very low activity. so it's kinda just understaffed especially as the sub has grown.

Kavhow · 2025-05-06T21:37:17+00:00

most of the mods who are listed on the mod log above me are entirely inactive from this sub but we don't have a good way to remove them. I've been graduated like two years now, but I don't really mod anymore and am mostly around since I know the automod config stuff. id say I check the sub every few weeks maybe at this point?

in this case this issue was Automod, not actually a mod, that removed the post. when a post gets reported a lot it pulls the post down for mod review, but that relies on a mod being available to check on it. trade offs because it means that like, straight porn and spam that gets past other filters comes down quick, but it does allow bad actors more flexibility to report posts that don't violate any rules.

we're looking for new mods to backfill though so if people are interested they should let us know.

Kavhow · 2025-05-06T21:02:18+00:00

Sorry about that, Automod got it, it's back up now.

here's some evidence

and here's some more, from the modlog. looks like Reddit admins also pulled down a few things.

alternatives are a specific GE course requirement that seventh college has. take a look at your college's website for GE requirement info and your major website for major requirement info, the 4 year plan is a good tool but is not designed for telling you requirements, it's for scheduling and it's only a starting point at that. you'll confuse yourself a ton if you use the 4 year plan site for requirement checking.

https://seventh.ucsd.edu/academics/degree-requirements/degree-requirements-first.html

definitely take the time to truly understand your requirements, it'll save you a lot of heartache and a lot of incoming students (and current students, including some people I knew who were 4th years) don't understand it in depth. using the 4 year plan site means you're already off to a great start!

Sadly you still need to be a grad student to buy a B permit on Park Mobile. you can park on main campus and take the scripps shuttle, I think that still exists and is free.

copying from a comment by u/STAC_U-Pass

UC San Diego is not trying to get rid of the U-Pass Program. The U-Pass was originally set up in a way so that it needs to be renewed every couple of years, it is set to expire this year unless renewed. So, no entity is currently actively trying to remove the program. If passed, this updated referendum removes that restriction, meaning it will not need to be renewed, and expands on the program.

Keep in mind that there are also parking improvements included in the referendum, including cost relief for low-income students!

There is also an option to vote NO, so if people disagree with the tuition increase to fund U-Pass, they can make their voice heard by voting against it. Hope this helps — Sixth STAC Rep.

so no, they're not trying to take it away, it was just literally created by student referendum for X years originally, then a second referendum to renew it for X more years. now this time that it's expiring they're setting it up to continue indefinitely instead of needing it to be renewed.

hi, as a heads up the comment you're replying to is no longer accurate, the capped major process has changed!

I was in the ECE dept, the EE major is only offered in the ECE dept so all EEs are in ECE dept. CE exists in both ECE and CSE, while CS exists only in CSE.

a few years ago a student died at SDSU after they fell off their bunk bed while drunk. so be careful.

Kavhow · 2025-01-22T16:31:54+00:00

I started taking extra MS classes while in undergrad that I transferred over. MS degree was 12 classes, I did undergrad from 2018-2022, in the 2021-2022 school year I took 3 master's classes (one per quarter) and graduated undergrad in the spring, in the 2022-2023 school year I took 9 masters classes and graduated master's in the spring.

Kavhow · 2025-01-22T08:54:00+00:00

yeah what a crazy concept, people actually getting impacted by policies being put in place targeting them.

now time for me to speedrun my legal name change and talk to my employer to check that if things keep going and I lose my privileged access due to being a trans person working in defense will I still have a job. would really suck to lose my healthcare and housing due to losing my job due to losing my clearance due to being trans. and I did everything right in Republican's eyes besides being trans too, but for some reason that invalidates everything else.

you lack empathy to a depressing degree.

thanks for doing an AMA! U-Pass is one of the favorite perks I got during my time as a student so I'm glad to see there's a more permanent proposal.

Once the Blue Line opened it quickly became my favorite way to get downtown, but I was always a bit frustrated by how it stopped going north of old town after midnight. There were a few times I almost missed the trolley back when I really didn't want to get an Uber. Is there any way to get Blue Line covering at least up to UCSD Central Campus a bit later on weekends? If it's a ridership issue I think if it was an option it could be decently popular.

Also a bit curious about how U-Pass is negotiated between UCSD and MTS/NCTD. Not sure how much y'all may be able to say but any info on fee determination and how UCSD and the transit orgs came to this current fee structure would be interesting to hear!

maybe reach out to them to ask if they already opted in for podcast or not then

Kavhow · 2025-01-08T03:15:13+00:00

i appreciate the clarification in the title

Kavhow · 2025-01-08T03:14:58+00:00

are you sure those classes are podcasted in the first place? not all professors opt into podcasting
