Why was PoE reddit shutdown without consulting the public?
This honestly sucks. Other subs reached out to their members to get feedback. Why is it that the mods simply decide what to do and make the rest of us no longer have a permanent place for discussions, memes, and everything PoE? This site is hardly a replacement, as not only does the UI suck but the number of participants is almost non-existent.
You are not representing the majority of the community. The user don't want to participate in the protest and you know that. Otherwise you would have opened a poll for an indefinite blackout.
There ya go bud, create your own subreddit. Invite users who share your viewpoint and grow your own subreddit.
You don't get to dictate to the subreddit creators what they do with their subreddit. If you don't like how a subreddit is run you can unsubscribe. If you think you can run a subreddit better, click that link, making a subreddit is free.
Couldn't have said it better. Now that the PoE sub has opened again, there quite a few very angry people talking about how the mods "make the users suffer" and stuff like that, but notice that none of these think it's worth the effort to start their own subs.
If the mods have done one thing wrong, it's keeping quite about just how much work it is to make sure a popular sub actually stays useful and interesting.
