TiA mod attempts to promote a multi-level marketing scheme, it backfires and they delete the thread (self.SubredditDrama)

>Earlier today I put a link on the boob bar about FeaturePoints[1] which is an app that pays you for installing other apps signed up to the service - it may sound dodgy but it's 100% legit.[2] In the interests of transparency, it's an affiliate programme which will pay me for anyone who signs up, but it will also pay you for using it and you will be able to share your own affiliate link to do the same thing I was doing.
>Anyway, the other mods told me off for doing this because they said it may come across negatively and it may anger the community. Of course I don't want to risk making you lot pissed off at me, so I have taken it down off the boob bar and I'm making this thread to ask your opinions on this stuff. After all transparency has always been important to me.
> So I ask you, members of TiA, is it cool for me to share this stuff with you guys or would you rather I didn't? If you say no I will keep it off TiA and solely use my own social media accounts for any such endorsements in the future. If you say yes I will put a subtle link to a page explaining whatever the cool thing is on the top of the sub alongside the links to other subreddits we're affiliated with. It's up to you.

What in the world made them think this was a good idea?
If they had left the thread up for much longer, they probably would've been shadowbanned, leading to a shitstorm of epic proportions.
Fun times.
Edit: Have some leaked modmail for you guys. Kudos goes to /u/kyle for that one. GO Streisand!

I predict a brigade of your comment once this thread rises. Do not talk ill of TIA, they are mocking for equality.
Without a doubt. Can't wait to see this on SRDD in about 2 hours
Isn't that why we come to the comments? 16 points / 92 comments? You know some amazing shit has gone down.
/r/TIAmythos
Are you trying to suggest that TiA don't brigade? This thread from a few months back disagrees.
>linking to daily dot as proof
>taking the word of a tumblr blog as proof
>believing medievalPOC
This is sad
Oh you mean the SRS thread, well I never said TIA doesn't brigade, I said its silly to think they will show up in SRD every time someone says the sub three times.
Keep on being spooked
>linking to daily dot as proof
What are you talking about? I linked to a brigaded thread, what does the subject of that thread have to do with anything?
Here, have a link to the TiA thread where they brigaded from. Be sure to take notice of the few reasonable users in there trying to tell their fellow posters not to brigade. Not that it made a difference.
I can't tell if you are being dense on purpose.
Not really.
I guess it doesn't matter how a comment like that is always near the top in every drama mentioning TIA, or how it's been hours and a comment saying some pretty mean things about tia subscribers is the top comment here.
Ignore all that though, those evil shitlords at tia are coming to get ya.

You guys take your persecution complexes to art level efficiency. Using the evil shitlord schtick against anyone who is not a fan. classic. I'm impressed.
Here is you compaining about /u/Andr3wsky and again more shitlord rhetoric
This is Usain bolt style quickness in the hundred meter oppression dash my friend. Not healthy.
Astounding lack of awareness for someone who is in their panic room because of the mean tia
If I cared as much about this as you clearly do, I could go back to the other tia drama threads where you claim to brace for downvotes from the mysterious brigade that never showed up. Every drama about tia youre always whining about them. But really I got other things to do than go through comment histories and I find that pretty desperate thing to do.
Well that's just sad. I really pity you. This persecution complex is not healthy.
Regarding your edit, please go and pull up those comments. Please. You seem really perturbed that I may not like TIA and are accusing me of creating wild hypotheticals. TIA is a brigade my friend, SRD is also a brigade. That is the truth. But I guess your feelings are hurt so I am sorry, I did not mean to make fun of your sub. I know it sucks when someone doesn't like something you like. Hell, I like Michael Bay sometimes and it hurts my fee fees when people make fun of his movies. I know. I've been there.And I did not have to dive into your history. It was just on your first page and doesn't change the fact that you think anyone who disagress with you is the ever so versatile SJW. I mean come on.
Haha, wow. You comb through comment histories to try and shift the focus on someone else in reddit arguments you get into. That's also pitiable.
Wow that was a classic gish gallop right there. So what if I went to his post history. I was making a point and showed evidence of my arguement. I chose not to use my anus as a source.
I'm sure your effort is worthwhile. I can't think of a better way of passing time than reading anonymous poster history so you can be confident saying "no u."

>I chose not to use my anus as a source.
Ya know, besides the claim of evil Tia stealing your Internet karma.
I also like how the general votes are in this thread, total tia brigade going on here.
> Still whining because the thread is not going as he hoped.
Just pointing out how silly your persecution complex is.

Take your own advice, tia is not under your bed or in your closet waiting to take your Internet points.

Of course they're not. But I reckon if I have a TIA sucks poster in my room, you will be there trying to inform my about your lord and saviour EFS.
/r/tiamythos
I'm paid for every shilling i do for EFS apparently.
Go back to r/conspiracy
So, does EFS compensate you for so starkly defending his subs honor? Or is the privilege of stroking the royal dick payment enough?
~~Personally I'm not a huge fan of him.~~
I'm sorry I mean he pays me three shekels for being a good shill, now be a good goy and go back to /r/conspiracy to talk about his evil shills.
