Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: MercurialMadnessMan's description of events [here](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskMe/comments/a6a1q/why_i_was_removed_from_iama_and_why_you_should/), and although I can't find the mods' side of the story, I posted a Cliffnotes version [here](http://www.reddit ....
Comment preview: It's been this way for a while. I'm not sure exactly when the tide started to turn but drama started to take a back seat to just mocking whatever group on Reddit. I used to look forward to threads with drama from subs I have never heard of but now the same ....
Comment preview: I Don't read the comment threads unlit I spot a comment with many child comments ............................................................................................... As many of you know. I like to provide quantities of drama. Some of it sucks ....
Comment preview: If this drama needs to stop happening, why do you promote it? > If H sumgaard, still a contracted sub for MYM we are told, **has a shred of dignity** I think an apology is only fitting. Drama > My final point is the **disgusting** behaviour of the Re ....
Comment preview: hes a fucking mod, ANYONE can be a mod. ffs i don't get these drama queens. Acting like they made reddit what it is. THE FUCKING USERS WHO SUBMIT CONTENT MADE REDDIT! not some fucking idiot who spends his time deciding who gets to post and what posts are ....
Comment preview: For those interested, a subreddit called /r/subredditcancer was created last month to talk about this exact type of situation on reddit where chummy and censorship-loving mods are the topic of discussion. Both current and former mods of KIA are mods of /r/ ....
Comment preview: There are various reasons: * There's a lot of "meme comments" that add absolutely nothing to the conversation, but are frequently used and highly upvoted. Pun comment trees, Reddit meta references and predictable reactions gifs are part of that * There's a ....
Comment preview: If you like reddit drama and SRD then you might enjoy some reddit drama that I've compiled. I have also launched a new subreddit devoted to reddit news and meta reddit related stuff called /r/RedditInsider where you can subscribe to get all of your reddit- ....
Comment preview: That wasn't even close to the real story, and reddit's selectively editing the history is downright embarrassing. What really happened was that somebody straight up accused Woody of some preposterous scenario in which he had crashed some random high schoo ....
Comment preview: Gaming drama is my third favourite because it huge sections of the reddit population game so generally it's pretty well publicised. Lots of new voices come out of the woodwork and generally it devolves into a console versus PC war. Shipping drama is next b ....
Comment preview: Big ole **meh** on this one. LGBT had full-on passionate anger. It dealt with the still-terrible treatment of the trans* community not only on Reddit, but in real daily life. It had aspects of freedom of speech, Jude-starring, slurs, hacking, and a psychop ....
Comment preview: Dammit /u/CI5. I'm sitting there reading some Theory of Reddit, when all of a sudden an ex-CEO starts dropping drama bombs. So I wait an hour, to see what shakes loose. Then a guy who got fired by reddit during Dramadan shows up. So I try to milk some more ....
Comment preview: The thing is, reddit is all about finding what you enjoy on it. For some people, that means posting nude pictures on /r/gonewild. For others, it's finding a way to make a bit of extra cash in /r/HITsWorthTurkingFor or /r/beermoney. With a few billion pagev ....
Comment preview: I'd like to start off by thanking the little people. Without you, these last small months might have been a tiny bit unbearable. So please let me give a miniature shout out out to the vertically challenged wee folk of /r/Small. May you forever reach for th ....
Comment preview: Go to /r/SubredditDrama and /r/MuseumOfReddit and sort by top to find reddit's best drama and biggest scandals. In my opinion, anyone who likes reddit and cares about what happens here should be subscribed to /r/SubredditDrama due to it being a sort of in ....
Comment preview: **Why default mod drama should interest you** What is being laid bare here is the frictions generated by people with responsibility who can't get along. Granted, there are no life safety issues at stake and the budget and tax base are both zero, but "mode ....
Comment preview: And still no official words from the admins to the community ! > Update: Erik Martin tells BuzzFeed FWD via email: "The sitewide ban of the recent Adrien Chen article was a mistake on our part and was fixed this morning. Mods are still free to do what t ....
Comment preview: Dear Saydrah, I'm not so offended by the blatant gaming of Reddit that you have been doing. As somebody who 'works in social media', you know very well that what you are doing is wrong. Anybody with half a shred of common sense and/or decency will realise ....
Comment preview: I'm a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit: - [/r/againsthatesubreddits] [/r/CoonTown wishes Reddit a happy birthday, 665 upvotes and rising](https://np.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/3ayedn/rco ....
Comment preview: Yes, SRD implicitly thrives on drama. However, though Reddit gives people a sense of anonymity, it doesn't take away the fact that what they post, the arguments they engage in and the drama they cause is entertaining. Even if the drama is faux and seemingl ....
Comment preview: I am so sick and tired of reddit, continuously jumping to conclusions one way or another, creating drama for no reason other than to create drama. One heavily biased person first makes a post about a sexist DQ; all of reddit jumps upon the dramatrain, with ....
Comment preview: /u/gtw08 (since banned/deleted) was the owner of Quickmeme, and he was also a moderator of /r/adviceanimals. Other mods [found out.](http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/1gvnk4/quickmeme_is_banned_redditwide_more_inside/cao99l6) **tl;dr:** Someon ....
Comment preview: EDIT: I didn't mean this as a "Fuck TL THEY SO STUPID LOLOL" type of post, I just figured some of these would get a giggle from some people. I do agree that [/r/starcraft](/r/starcraft) can get very melodramatic about things that just need to be left alone ....
Comment preview: Can we add a 'no cats' rule to Reddit? It's absolutely wonderful when you see thousands of anonymous redditors band together behind cuteness, but honestly, it's not the place nor time. If Redditors want to look at cats, they can do so - through other commu ....
Comment preview: Lower level mods petitioned admins to remove top moderator who didn't want the sub to be heavily moderated. They succeed with the backing of theory of reddit and similar cabal of reddit "power users", many who trade moderator privileges with each other on ....
