[2020] Intrepid leaked a large number of private emailaccounts to the public and is censoring mentions of it.

Greetings, to clarify Intrepid does not seek to censor anything

Prove it by having every employee of Intrepid step down from the moderation team and by allowing the community to vote on a new moderation team. There's no reason for you to be moderators of a community site unless you want to be able to censor criticism of your actions.

You seem to be missing the fact that every subreddit is supposed to be community run, and you're in violation of reddit policy by being involved in the moderation team of any subreddit related to your product.

We know why you're dodging an answer though. It's because you censor any form of criticism of your company. Particularly when the criticism is grounded in actual incidents of malpractice.

The purpose of an official subreddit is to ensure accountability for exactly the things you are describing.

How does that make any sense? The problem with a company running its own subreddit is the possiblity for censorship. You are the only ones who choose "volunteer" moderators. It's why it's a violation of reddit policy.

If you had a legitimate interest in the health of the subreddit, you'd allow the community to vote on a new moderation team, then personally leave the moderation team. Answer me this: why won't you allow the community to choose its own moderators (hint: we all know why).

The community did this at the start of this subreddit and it fell into disarray with no moderation activity from the mods.

The original moderation team wasn't selected, you did a coup on the inactive team. Lmao if your worry is inactivity in the moderation team, let the community choose the moderators. We all know you're making a bad faith argument.

I ensure that the current volunteer mods are active and held accountable.

So we just have to the word of a guy who made his money scamming people with fake health products? Let the community choose the moderators

I dont know if you know this, but its impossible to censor reddit, because censoring is public and can be tracked. The benefit of myself being able to review moderation action (such as this actual thread)

Lol your modlog isn't public, of course you can censor comments. None of your moderation activity is publicly viewable. You can freely remove comment trees and none of it will be visible to the userbase. Make the modlogs public. I'm a moderator of several subreddits, I know exactly what you're doing. Does anyone believe your bullshit?

As for the data breach, the appropriate parties have been notified and also given instructions to avoid potential hazards from the breach.

I've owned an account with your website and even had a forum account too since essentially day 1 of the website. I had received no warnings nor mentions about this and as a long standing account owner of your website, I find it rather rude to not have been sent an email about this data breach and only to find that I had to re-validate my email address. If you want people to take you seriously then you should of sent a heads up email to every account on your website. Instead though I had to find out about this through this reddit post.

Next time something like this happens, sending a email to everyone would be much more appreciated.
