    "6 of 10 Moderators are leaving Ethtrader. A farewell."

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 03:56 PM PDT

    I cannot crosspost because of the Discord link. Here's the original: https://np.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/cs84ar/6_of_10_moderators_are_leaving_ethtrader_a/. Here's a copy+pasta:

    As a moderator team, we have tried working good faith with Carl ("lead mod" for this sub) for the past year and beyond to benefit r/EthTrader as a community, however, this has grown increasingly challenging due to consistently unilateral, and ostensibly self-serving decisions which he has made that degrade the quality of the sub.

    Over the past week, this culminated in shocking and unilateral decisions by Carl to remove two long-time moderators over a minor, unsettled, disagreement on an administrative issue which was still under open discussion. In this unprecedented action, Carl unilaterally stripped u/AdamSC1 and then u/jtnichol of all moderator authorities and permissions. Combined with continual opaque behavior in engagement with Reddit around Donuts, and generally unproductive communication with the broader moderator team on on-going operational issues, we feel we have no choice but to step down as moderators of r/ethtrader as a result of these actions.

    Ethereum is about decentralization and community consensus. We believe strongly in the Ethereum community, its users, developers, investors, and trading community - that was why many of us worked hard to build /r/EthTrader in the first place.

    Given recent events, we no longer feel it is possible to maintain a quality Moderator team here in r/EthTrader where one individual wields unilateral authority. As a result, the majority of the current moderator team is resigning effective immediately and will work to create a new sub, Twitter, and Discord called /r/EthFinance.

    This new Reddit sub will be a high quality forum for all Ethereum-related discussions. It will be well-moderated by a team of veterans and equals who will work together to make decisions around the direction of the sub, and it will have the support of many prominent community members. With the support of our sister Twitter handle and Discord vectors, we hope to make a place for everyone to join in the discussion.

    Walking away from r/EthTrader, was not an easy decision for us. All of us have invested years into growing and sustaining this community., But we could no longer stand-by the repeated unilateral decisions eroding the fabric of this community.

    We hope you choose to join us, as we move forward in creating a proactive, positive community that can serve as a shining example of the values that Ethereum and blockchain stands for.

    Can we make a list of Sockpuppet accounts that do nothing but post dogshit news all day? or is that against the rules?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 11:08 PM PDT

    Every now and then we find users that are just posting worthless links to this sub that are geared towards CPM generation for the person posting links from that account.

    Often times witch-hunting is against the rules of nearly any subreddit. But the way I look at this is, "It's not a witch hunt if we don't have a face or actual name to tie an account to."

    Horizon State ceasing operation. Website unreachable.

    Posted: 18 Aug 2019 10:31 PM PDT

    Taken straight from their Facebook Page. Their website is now also returning blank as well.

    "Announcement: Horizon State is ceasing operation.

    It is with heavy heart that we have made the decision to shut our doors.

    While we can't reveal many details of the cause, we can at least say that it has nothing to do with the business—which has been taking consistent strides forward to new heights—and everything to do with a recently-served legal case in Australia.

    The estimated costs to challenge this case, and potentially proceed through the mediation process to reach a settlement is an eye-watering expense will see the business become insolvent, and ultimately force its closure. We have in good faith explored all possible avenues to resolve the issue outside of the legal system in good faith to this time.

    While we have made our sincerest and best efforts to make Horizon State self-sustaining on client revenue (which has included great personal sacrifices operating on a very lean budget to achieve), we simply can't absorb this expense being forced upon us at this time.

    We are very proud of the work we have put in as a group over the last 24 months, and recognition it has earned, which makes it all the more heart-breaking that circumstances outside our control have forced our demise. This is one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make in our lives, but we simply have no options available to us to fight this further. We would like to thank our amazing community who have supported and journeyed with us over the last two years.

    Without you, we could never have achieved the milestones that made Horizon State a technology pioneer, and put Australia and New Zealand on the map as destinations for blockchain innovation.

    The Horizon State team"
