They’d be horrible people if they do. Anyone who’s active in this subreddit would greatly appreciate this post.

u/pickle_pickled 2d ago

OP has been posting this promotion literally for years, and was banned from this sub 2 years ago and apparently unbanned eventually. I've got no feeling either way coming from r/all just wanted to point out it's not something recent

u/No_Peanut7166 21h ago

From post history it looks like they’ve been working on this pack for the years they’ve been in treatment and are posting it now for free as celebration for it being over… I don’t really see this issue, except for the self-promotion? Is there something I’m missing

Posts that are self promotion, and posts that contain irrelevant information to the game (like "I got hit by a car, here's my Minecraft house") tend to get taken down. This does both

u/YummyArtichoke 2d ago

Ahh the 2 negatives equal a positive rule.

Does your post get pinned if you break 4 rules? Cause 3 obviously gets taken down again.

u/CommunistLlamma 2d ago

So basically r/Minecraft has had two major controversies over the past year.

The first one was the case of a user who made a few posts, first asking for build suggestions and then sharing the build he made dedicated to his girlfriend that sadly passed away from cancer.

The post got removed or he got banned (can't remember off the top of my head) and he appealed it, one of mods went on to say "you milked the death of your girlfriend for enough karma at this point". Huge controversy, and we recently found out that mod stepped down after that debacle. Mojang also decided to no longer be involved in the minecraft subreddit over this.

The second and most recent one, was when craftymasterman got his post removed. He made geometry dash in minecraft, an insane technical achievement (seriously go check out his video it's really cool), and it got removed because of the incredibly vague and weird rule of "no self-promotion".

This wasn't the first time it happened, sammyuri posted here when he made minecraft in minecraft using redstone and that got removed for self promo aswell. There was a lot of backlash over it this time, with many of the other mods being against the decision, but unable to do anything, because they were "transparency moderators", which can't restore posts.

Because of this, they have restructured their moderation. The lead moderator has stepped down, and the transparency moderators are now full mods. Crafty's post has also been restored.

u/TuxedoDogs9 2d ago

So if sharing stuff is self promotion, how tf this subreddit gonna survive

47

u/Muffalo_Herder 2d ago

In this case, although it is a free giveaway, the pack does have a paid version on the linked site. I'm not super comfy with paid products being promoted with sob stories.

In general though yeah, the mod team has been pretty terrible. Hopefully the new team structure will be better.

24

u/StonedBooty 2d ago

What is different about this post than ones made 2 years ago by OP? It seems to be the same content, posted over and over with varying titles. At one point the same title was used for dozens of posts. All of this feels weird

u/OnceMoreAndAgain 2d ago

Sharing stuff you've done in Minecraft is fine, like posting a picture of something cool you made. Self-promotion is about people trying to get you to do something that benefits themselves, such as buying a product from them.

I think any posts that are trying to sell you something should be banned, because if you allow that then people will use the subreddit as an advertising platform which can cause all sorts of problems.

Probably a reference to "you milked the death of your girlfriend for enough karma at this point" responce from a mod after someone posted a follow up to their partner's Minecraft memorial.
