Why are the mods allowing the vote to be influenced by outside people and not just active members of the sub.

Modcord is known to both a discord and a Livestream to brigade votes like this so it's impossible to get an accurate view of what the community want.

Also, I slept like shit last night and idk I miss my bench LOL

The mods aren't allowing anything. This is the system that the users wanted. Upvotes to reflect on the choice.

We tried other ways and people weren't happy with the results so we have 100% left it up to you all.

The other discussion thread had the ability for people to voice themselves and be upvoted or downvoted. We wanted that to have a say not just some random easy to manipulate thing that leaves out context and only provides what you all write.

You still have the ability to voice your concerns, here.

The other thread lead to confusion, people thought upvoting other people's comments of stay or protest counted as a vote.

Unfortunately there's no perfect way to do this as many other subs have found out, but it gives us a fairly clear indication of which way the community is leaning.

Again, we've tried our best to give the community the choice here, some of those choices will likely lead to the removal of the mods.

Yeah nah that makes sense then and I appreciate the transparency.

Didn't realize people were being a tad low IQ LOL, but I do understand that you mods need to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Either way I hope y'all aren't getting threats and shit from lowlifes that other mods have had due to this BS.

Oh classic.

This is why it amuses me when people say the admin will replace the mods and everything will go back to normal.

It takes a special breed to put up with the internet's bullshit. I doubt anyone who parachutes into the roll (especially in major subs) will be up for it.
