Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Sub under new moderation, coming in peace (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by StormTheParade
Hey guys. You might know me...infamously... as the most active moderator over at /r/Starbucks. You probably don't like me. I kinda wanna rectify that here, per se.
I took over the subreddit coz I'm a corporate shill ^^^(/s) who saw that the subreddit was sitting with no moderators but a consistent amount of activity. Threw a request into /r/redditrequest, had it accepted, and now I am the sole moderator here. I don't get paid to moderate or uphold rules, and this sub is distinguished in name from the brand, so I don't even particularly feel a large need to uphold some sort of standard of niceties here.
I want to put you guys in charge. I'm only setting forth one specific rule, and I'm going to be straightforward about it, no loopholes or technicalities:
* Don't post *direct images* of internal documents.
I don't give a shit what else is discussed here, honestly. Corporate has been playing this bullshit back-and-forth with us about what we can and can't say online, so I'm finally just playing their game. The documents themselves are internal resources. But I don't see the leakers on Twitter and Facebook losing their jobs because they talked about the zombie frappuccino three weeks in advance... thus, discuss to your hearts' content - release dates, drinks, foods, whatever.
That said, you'll probably want to avoid giving away your (and others') personal information, just in case. Try to keep your partner numbers censored (top of receipts!) and hide your store numbers (green apron boards, shipping labels, etc). And, of course, try to be nice to each other, but really unless it gets to be excessive, I don't really care what you say to each other.
Other than that, I want to put this under your control. I saw *somebody* has been around to report the occasional post, so I want to know what y'all want to see more or less of around here. Do we allow student surveys? Vloggers and reviewers shilling blogs and videos? Etsy advertisements? Do you guys want an FAQ or some sort of resource in the sidebar? Should we allow NSFW rule 34 stuff? I thought about making this a satire sub, somehow, even.
I'm not going to kill this sub in some sort of twisted attempt to redirect traffic to the other one, either. Fuck that.
Is anybody even active enough here to want anything for the subreddit? Flairs, weeklies, whatever?

I find you hostile all of a sudden.
StormTheParade [OP] 1 points 4y ago
Except I'm not, you're making an issue out of nothing. Why are you making such a big deal over this?
Constable-Arwen 1 points 4y ago
Sound familiar?

Okie dokey dude!
Constable-Arwen 1 points 4y ago
Why did you even come here? You should have known that all the people you banned came to this page. You should have known you would not be liked moderating this page. You say you come in peace but after I complain, you just play the blame game. I see other motives here. I’m new to reddit so I don’t know much about it, but this is shaaaaaaady that you were allowed to just come and commandeer this without asking any of the subscribers permission. Just my two cents.

It's not really shady, it's how moderation and subreddits work. There was no moderation here, I requested the sub, it's mine now. Stay or leave, doesn't matter, but I'm not going anywhere, lol.
I don't really care what motives you think you see, tbh. And I'm not playing the blame game, I can proper publicly rehash everything around why you were banned if that helps, but I'm trying not to make a big deal over it. You're not banned here yet, are you? So why are you coming after me about it here?
People get banned over there for tiny reasons because the team has agreed that the subreddit should stay a largely welcoming place. There's literally zero need to go into a forum and behave like a shithead just because you can.
I'm not really sure why you're making such a huge deal over this. I could've not asked the sub's stance on it at all, and just made my changes around here... At least I opted to be open about it.

Rehashing everything publicly??? First of all I have no problem with this because I meant every word I said, second, I though you referred to yourself as professional... what about that is such?
Constable-Arwen 1 points 4y ago
Meh. I wont lose any sleep over it. It’s more about you guys not unbanning me after explaining myself and the last message you sent.
StormTheParade [OP] 2 points 4y ago
That is unprofessional of the team and I do apologise on their behalf, but you also waited like 2 hours for a response before flipping out.
We're a small team and we're all busy IRL. It does take time for moderators to respond to things. I'm sort of the only mod on there who all but lives here

It’s gaining traction. Hopefully you’ll do a better job moderating this the than the other page. I have to use another account to post there because of their petty nature.
StormTheParade [OP] 3 points 4y ago
To be fair, I do know why you were banned and I do feel it was justified in accordance to the rules the team likes to uphold there. And you probably shouldn't brag about ban evading as it's against Reddit TOS.
But I'm not here to argue about bans that brought people *here* rather than there. That's not my point of taking this over lmao
This subreddit is solely mine at the moment. I don't have to depend on a team mindset for decisions or speaking, so I can care as little (or as much) as I like. Currently I care just enough to brush off the dust here

I can’t believe you find me hostile. This whole conversation has gone out of control if you truly think all that. It’s w/e. You win the reddit drama.
Constable-Arwen 0 points 4y ago
Mainly because I’ll just get banned again if I argue with you. That’s what happens.
