The disconnect between what the Go team acting as moderators think about themselves, and what the reddit thinks about the moderator is disconcerting, and it proves that these people are the wrong people for the job.
Because some guy (not associated with either Go or /r/golang) abused his power, their solution is to abuse **their** moderator powers to nuke /r/golang from orbit (shit, who cares about the 25k+ people there, let's not even inform them). Wow. A moderator is a servant to a community and answers to it. He is not the *owner* of a community. His job is to remove spam and ban spammers, not to delete reddits. You are not the owners of /r/golang. The people there are. You are some guys hired to do a job. If you don't want it anymore, no problem, I'm sure there are plenty of candidate replacements. If you don't like /r/golang, no problem, there's a community for every type of individual. It does not mean you have the right to delete it. -- Aram Hăvărneanu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
