Anyways, here's the story on how, imho, some of the mods here, at least two in particular, are not even close to alpha male, and actually become whiny betas under the slightest criticism. I lost a great deal of respect for the sub, after over a year being an active user.
The mod made a post that was downvoted to oblivion, and no one bothered to comment on. My bud read the thing, and commented verbatim, what the fuck did I just read? Ifeel like I am now dumber for having read this. That's the entire post. That comment was actually upvoted eight times as the post was objectively bad.
Thinking a mistake had been made, he messaged the mods. They said that he basically wasn't trp material, was a fake alpha male, and wasn't contributing to the sub. My friend has a degree in microbiology, he served as a paratrooper in the army for six years, has a purple heart, bronze star, and makes well over six figures a year in sales. He showed me the post history that was in question by this mod. He had made one post that got over 200 upvotes. Also, he never received a single downvoted in any thread, ever.
It is clear that this mod can't take even the slightest criticism and is using his tiny bit of mod power to silence anyone who doesn't think his posts are the greatest thing in the world.
I saw that during this conversations end, it did get a little heated and he said something to the effect of the mod having a small penis and was abusing his power as a mod.
Honestly, I just wanted to make sure that people are aware of this guy. I think we could use mods that don't go ban happy if people simply don't like their posts. I didn't see any rules actually get broken and see a lot worse comments daily on this sub. I just thought it was so trivial and wanted other people to be aware. Banning a person because they said a post was dumb, is on par with subs like feminism banning people for the littlest things. Do we want to be like them? Fuck no we don't.
Tldr, my friend was banned because he said a post was dumb. When he thought it was a mistake, he waz told it was mostly about his post history. When he pointed out he was never so much as downvoted a single time here, and the only post he ever made got 200 upvotes, he was silenced for three days.
I'm not going to post the screenshots unless people say I'm not being honest. Basically, I'll let that mod hang himself if he tries to lie, which I'm sure he will. The mod in question was PSV. I'm sure if you look through his post history, this won't be an isolated incident. The other mod who said it was because of the post history, and then silenced him when he said there was never so much as a single downvoted. They said he acted like he was the biggest swinging dick in the room, and that attitude is apparently unacceptable here... Really? Confidence is unacceptable? Give me a break... Seriously, my friend is basically the most alpha male guy I know. He doesn't put people down or act like others are beneath him, ever. He has travelled the world and makes stupid money. He has also served as a paratrooper in the military, where we met, and is very heavily decorated with medals and awards. The other mod was crazyhorseinvincable.
Tldr, friend said a mod post was dumb. So, they banned him. When he asked why, it was clear the mod simply couldn't take the slightest bit of criticism and went full beta bitch because of it. When my friend pointed out he was a contributing member who has never received a single downvoted, he was silenced. Is this really the type of person we want to represent us? I don't.

Oh goody. What a wonderful teaching moment.
I'm a huge fan of Ian Ironwood, he talks a lot about male to male interactions. How men used to be around each other. I'm a take the time to break down some things in here of note.
Reference here
Respect the Tag
Now. I'll save you the hassle. I don't remember why this guy was banned, and the logs say it was me. Usually this means either questions in TRP (my pet peeve), AMOGing an endorsed, or clearly not here for Rule 0. Judging by the post history of his alt account "dankest_rooster" aka his 'friend', I'm guessing he was AMOGING or otherwise shitting on an endorsed.
This is not how men interact, this is the crying of children
Inital fit testing, and wholehearted acceptance. Men join together for common purpose. In this case, Rule 0 for TRP. guys been here a month, had a few posts, of decent quality, then proceeds to lash out at everyone.
I've been a moderator here only a short time, and of all the bans that everyone has handed out, maybe 3 were false positives. Every single one involves an ego invested child, lashing out, because he cannot accept people don't worship him like his mother. And OP did not disappoint.
No one I have talked to in the mod panel is ego invested in their moderation duties, it's simple, cull the fat, encourage growth. Any man who has built a house, or helped maintain it after his fellow brother has already built it won't put up with a swinging dick coming in and barking orders. OP did not understand how men interact, OP could have been here, continuing to contribute, with a simple acknowledgement of the rules, and a statement of wanting to be a net positive to his fellow men here.
He refuses to own his decisions, or actions. He had to make up an imaginary friend, just because he didn't want to own his action here. When guys talk about ownership, and acting like a man, it's not just about lifting and picking up chicks, learning how to interact with a heirarchy is as masculine a skill as any. women lash out because they are called bitchy, bossy, or prickly. In this case, OP is truly acting like a woman, and continues to give reasons why his contributions aren't worth it.
Voted mean nothing. Reddit put them in place for croudsourcing spam detection. This isn't a popularity contest. It's a heirarchy. men get in line, work towards the goal, or will be shown the door.
It's not about a subreddit, it's about male interaction. Take this lesson in stride, when you're at your buddies barbecue next summer, remember this guy, and realize that shitting on his cooking skills, lawn, and house is the fastest way to lose next years invite.

You obivously are a beta male bro. You cannot take all the internet alphas here with their 200 iq's and banging 100 plates who are all 10's and are obviously jealous.
vandaalen 7y ago
Wanted to press the downvote button after cross-reading OP's confession's of his hurt feefees before I read your reply.
Upvoted for visibility.

Nightwings stuff is dropping fire as well
NightwingTRP 7y ago
Here is an old post I made which covers the appropriate methods of interaction to achieve the best outcomes on the sub, along with reasons as to why. From what you're saying, your mate was rightfully removed.
Ask him if he'd gone up to his commanding officer who'd made a bad call and shout at him how he's dumb and he has a small dick? No? Maybe he'd be a bit more tactful... similar applies here.
I suggest you take this down before you get yourself banned for pointless rebellious/disrespectful behaviour.
PaperStreetVilla 7y ago
I highly doubt he was actually in the millitary, unless he has 300 confirmed kills.
I know how military people speak, OP sounded like the guys from stolen valor
NightwingTRP 7y ago
Maybe, but I saw no gain to be made here in withdrawing benefit of the doubt. Would you guys like me to repost my old piece on roles/respect/responsibility? Seems like the sub could do with a refresher.
PaperStreetVilla 7y ago
I'm sure RPS loves anything that brings quality up. I liked that post personally, wouldn't mind reading it again.
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
This post is dumb.
No, I'm just kidding.
Here's my take on it...
The Red Pill has no "singular answer" to how to pursue your life. We offer a range of Masculine tools to squeeze more out of life than if you remained in the dark as a Blue Pill beta slave.
But what happens is a tool (a concept) is presented that is of no use to a reader and they simply shit on it.
How does that do any good?
If you see nothing of value in a post either downvote it or skip it and read another one.
The Red Pill is not a debating society.
We aren't in search of the "one correct answer" because the Red Pill is actually a toolset of possible answers.
Need a tool?
Great... here it is... let us know how well it worked.
It's okay to respond if you think your input adds something of value which might take the original post in a different direction, but repeated "shitting" is just a bad idea.

My point is that the Red Pill is the opposite of the Political Correctness type of conformity we dislike so much about the Blue Pill.
Our task is to "Kill the Beta" so as "Men Going Their Own Way" they can have a better life.
Everyone isn't obedient to a singular ideal of life choices.
Want no women at all? Whatever you want to do.
Want to do all One Night Stands? Sure, great those are easy.
Want to Spin Plates? Okay, a little more effort, but good.
Want a LTR? Yeah sure... kids too? We can help.
aanarchist 7y ago
i've got plenty of people hating on me for simply stating my own thoughts and opinions. truth is if someone can't handle it then they shouldn't be on here, let alone having a moderators power.
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
Concern Trolling is when a guy tries to "contain" another person's commentary by erecting a kind of fence around what they say. It's effectively censorship.
The Red Pill is about as "anti-censorship" as you can be since we are trying to encourage risk taking behavior.
The reason why so many males have been suppressed into being beta is that the constant censorship of masculine risk taking tends to have an effect.
So we want to get people to create new thoughts and be adventurous and do things like approach women.
This means we really should ban guys who over time show an imbalance:
Debating / Concern Trolling Behavior
When we see "too much" concern and not enough creation we have a Debbie Downer in the crowd.
We actually are better off banning the "Debbie Downer".
But you should study someone for a while and not jump to a conclusion too quickly.
aanarchist 7y ago
ahh i see. there's criticism then there's the guy who doesn't do jack shit but has something to say about anything anyone does or says, like they're wrong for doing so and shouldn't do it, when in fact that's how we learn is we do shit and we learn from the feedback we get. can't spend your whole life reading about trp and never actually doing shit.
NeoreactionSafe 7y ago
But the feedback of this type isn't useful.
It's "dumbing down".
The "Concern Troll" wants to inhibit risk taking.
Risk taking behavior is what the Red Pill is about... we "Kill the Beta" which is the timid introverted aspect of our personality.
The Blue Pill is systematic Politically Correct Concern Trolling.
Why bring it here when we want to escape the PC types?
The whole idea is that the Red Pill is like the Men's Locker Room where we don't have the females Concern Trolling our every thought.

You are so alpha bro. Betas everywhere should take your advice, and let you fuck their wives, cause debating is only for beta chumps and you are internet alpha all the way.

You sound pretty cool to me.
I like your defiant attitude.
Stick around you might like it here.
It's obvious you aren't making "canned" responses... very few actually create ideas and we need the risk taking spirit here.
Oh, there are no racists only realists that people don't like because they aren't seduced by globalism.
[deleted] 7y ago
How do you define your racism by the way? As of now, I have a similar belief in that stereotypes are often true and it has me wondering about other things that were frowned upon by society. (Such as racism...) I am still open in that I believe there are outliers but now I am more inclined towards these being rare rather than common.
Define gamma.
And well, why are you Vegan?

This ain't a democracy, I'm sure you read that in the official rules. Now, considering you didn't go to the other 10 mods, and instead engage the herd, I'm guessing your time on this world is also short.

Dude. TRP has been hit or miss of late. It was way better when I first started lurking. Too many people have been talking about TRP and it's being inundated by cucks and basement dwellers.
vandaalen 7y ago
I worry much more about the dumb, loud-mouthed and lazy assholes, who constantly mock and complain about the self-percieved decline of quality and yet aren't capable of providing anything of value for the community for themselves.
PaperStreetVilla 7y ago
I believe the term is 'value leech'
Mckallidon 7y ago
I would say that the quality posts have actually gotten better. Momentum has been built with some longstanding dialogues which are going somewhere great. Some ECs are seriously pumping out high value writing as gifts to us. What I meant to say is that the shitlords have moved from the comments to posting. I don't know if you were referring to OP or myself. Either way I was just stating an observation of the increase in volume of the weak stuff, like OPs post, not so much complaining about TRP in general, although I should have worded my comment better.
[deleted] 7y ago
Not enough alphas here bro. I am sick of debating all these beta males. I have 20 plates to fuck not worry about some beta males and their pathetic "issues".
Mckallidon 7y ago
Dude. I swear it's like obamacare isn't covering therapy for all these people and they come here to get validated or argue about the stupidest shit to feel smart before they jerk off and cry themselves to sleep.
PaperStreetVilla 7y ago
Sounds good, get to work.
Mckallidon 7y ago
Any suggestions? It seems like a lot of basics are well covered by some dedicated and talented writers. I've considered a few things that seem much more off-topic and are of a more specialized interest. Is there anything the mods or ECs would say is lacking or would be a nice change of pace? Seriously. If there is a niche to be filled that people would like which I could help with I am game. I haven't written much because it seems that what people want to read is already being done well. I've considered posting a simplified version of a book I'm writing about breaking down chef skills into simple concepts so that anyone would be able to take ingredients and make something decent in the amount they want. Good for the man who is sick of takeout or wants to hook it up for a chick. What do you think?
PaperStreetVilla 7y ago
If you read through, you'll find almost all of things after year one are variations on the similar themes.
Since RP is just guys swapping notes, I find the most useful is field reports. More data point, gives guys more ideas, which gives guys better theory.
On my main, when I first got here, I talked about my failures especially. For every one post, theres a hundred people doing the same thing. Got flaked by a girl, but know why? show that in a post. Guys will share their experiences, and you can then learn how to avoid flakes.
The key I find is the difference between a journal of experiences, and a mental masturbation of non experience.
And don't worry about posting shit. For the first year, everyone will post shit, thats how practice works
zedsdedforever 7y ago
It simply comes down to this.... The SOF community as a whole is one of the most team oriented, chillest group of guys to be around. Good, educated men who happen to be efficient killers. I'll tell you from experience that these dudes don't fucking get butthurt about some internet shit. None of these dudes go, "I was a sgt in a paratrooper unit". Just doesn't happen.
[deleted] 7y ago
You'd be surprised, man. Nobody said anything about SOF, but with the purple heart, I'll assume he was infantry, or at least took some shrapnel as if he was. I was in the Airborne Infantry for a while and my account exists almost solely to argue with people who I take personal offense from. The guys are pretty badass and all, but we aren't quite as alpha as society wants to believe. In fact, you wouldn't have to look very hard to find a good number of extremely beta tendencies in an airborne infantry unit.
zedsdedforever 7y ago
I'll agree to seeing some of the beta tendencies among the group, but comparing them against, let's say, society of civilians and you got a whole different alpha vs beta conversation.

The only thing thing this post has taught me about is beta behaviour.
BTW I've been awarded the medal of honour and MMA heavyweight belt - at the same time. Seriously I am not humble bragging or anything, its totally relevant.
