WO now has a "secret" subreddit

Yes, people I know have asked for access, and been denied. By Vigilant.

Also, it appears that r/wikiinaction is now TDK's favorite place to post items about people fighting with Greg Kohs.

I wonder who Vigilant is letting in. I suppose WO must be allowing him to use their name on Reddit.

Vigilant left at the same time I left. He quit, unless he changed his mind. If he didn't change his mind, that WO subreddit isn't an official channel for WO. :shock:

Same for me. I doubt they'd let me in there.

I'd be very curious to see who he'd let in if all of us who don't think he'd let us actually did ask to join. Is there any proof that anyone has been let in?

A private subreddit to go with their administrators board where they talk crap about users behind their backs. And this is anything different from the Wikipedia IRC and the Wiki email list most people do not know about, how?

Well, as you remember (because you saw it happen), in 2014 we tried to create a #wikipediocracy channel on the Freenode IRC server. And that little wankball Maurizio "Snowolf" Lussetti kicked us all and locked the channel out. And keeps it locked out to this day. So perhaps the WOers figured Reddit would be one place to have chats without the constant threat of being kicked out by Wikipedia whores--I assume.

How stupid is it to keep using IRC in this day and age anyway?
