RE: Sustained /r/BOINC (reddit) censorship of Gridcoin and Steem!
I think the main reason for the moderation was this one:
"If you wanted to help BOINC, you'd post your discussion here in the subreddit. But you don't, you just post a link to a place where you make money."
I'd believe that if the moderator hadn't also censored this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/BOINC/comments/5bbavo/team_gridcoin_currently_1_in_srbase_boinc/
The link was pointing out the fact that team Gridcoin is currently #1 in a SRBase BOINC team challenge https://twitter.com/customminer/status/794963514834165762
This is as on-topic to BOINC as a post can be - trying to drive up computation for SRBase with a inter-team challenge & it was censored because it mentioned Gridcoin.
The moderator is quite clearly biased against Gridcoin.
Besides, there's 0 rules in their sidebar regarding what content can/can't be posted nor banned domains. The mod is making it rules as he censors.
I have no idea about the Reddit rules, ethic & traditions, but this particular mod does not like links, and maybe now he/she does not like you as well.
As the power of moderation is in the hands of the mod and you still need Reddit I think you should try to find a consensus.
He explicitly censors both Gridcoin and Steemit content. He perceives Steemit as paid blog spam. I'm simply going to cease posting original content to /r/BOINC.
He's a mod of 39 subreddits - I seriously doubt he's going to go without a fight.
We can work without /r/BOINC - it's a tiny community compared to other BOINC communities.
We don't entirely need Reddit, we can use /r/gridcoin and /r/cryptocurrency for Gridcoin related content. We can use steemit, decent, lykke, synereo, etc; Reddit is going the way of digg.
And if he apologizes nicely, maybe the case won't be taken to the Central Committee.
He gave no indication of allowing Gridcoin nor Steemit posts on /r/BOINC - I'll be raising this issue to the BOINC PGC when I've got the spare time.
I've contacted the other /r/BOINC moderator to get his opinion on the matter.
