Why do we need 2 nem reddit pages?
From what I gather someone started their own NEM sub considering this is a community and not dictated by a single entity or special interest group, developers, or special interest group, want control over subreddit, owner/creator says no because this is the New Economy Movement that belongs to the community not a special interest group that has an agenda, developers hungry for control to fulfill their agenda start their own subreddit so they can dictate what happens there. Some "movement" huh? I have seen this with many coins, Want to see how this ends? Check out Reddcoin.
No, pretty sure the guy who started the first nem subreddit wouldn't give anyone else administrative access other than himself - so the NEM marketing team decided to make their own subreddit. It's all pretty stupid anyways.
I think having a third party in place is good for trust. When the developers start to control the situation that leaves a door open for trouble.
The main developers don't have anything to do with the reddit issue, they only code. It was marketing that asked Okaynow to add additional moderators to the reddit and he refused flat out. Requests were made to even just add well respected members of the community, not just marketing, and he refused and wants to continue to maintain complete control by himself.
Furthermore he has continued to advertise over and over that he is accepting money for Reddit and it has been requested that he put that community money in the hands of the community via multisig as a security precaution and again he refuses to do so.
There is no grab for power/money by marketing or main devs, in fact the request is the exact opposite for Reddit to be opened up to the community.
I would make the request again now for Okaynow to add more moderators of trusted people from the NEM community and add additional people to the funds to make it multisig as a precaution.
I hate to be that guy again, but you need to sort out the issue with the /r/nem subreddit. I fear if the marketing train ever does take off that is going to come back to bite us all.
What do you suggest to do when he refuses to work with anybody?
