週三晚上，r/WallStreetBets subreddit自己的版主將它保密了不到一個小時，Reddit向大家證實了這一點——但現在，它又回來了，版主們自己發了一篇新帖子，並沒有完全解釋它為什麼一開始就消失了。隨著GameStop股價的快速上漲，論壇上的交易員在一定程度上推動了GameStop股價的上漲，subreddit最近幾天的關注度顯著上升。

“我們已經長成了我們夢寐以求的那種在晚上睡不好覺的時間裡的體型，”mods的一篇新文章寫道，你可以在這篇文章的底部完整地閱讀，以防它消失。“我們有這麼多的評論和意見，我們甚至不可能把它們全部讀出來，更不用說作為版主對它們採取行動了，”帖子繼續說，談到社群如何也被禁止不和，以及他們如何認為Reddit的工具不足以緩和不良行為。

帖子還指向了一個名為@w**mod的Twitter賬戶，該賬戶未來將成為主持人團隊的官方聲音。

在subreddit是私有的期間，有一些不同的訊息顯示給訪問者。當我在美國東部時間晚上7:06檢視subreddit時，我看到這樣一條訊息：

We are experiencing technical difficulties based on unprecedented scale as a result of the newfound interest in WSB. We are unable to ensure Reddit’s content policy and the WSB rules are enforceable without a technology platform that can support automation of this enforcement. WSB will be back.

在此之前，該頁面顯示了這樣一條資訊：“WallStreetBets正在載入中，僅適用於已批准的提交者。在此期間，請享用一些義大利麵“，然後連結到一個NSFW的影片，一名男子把義大利麵放在他全身。

當r/WallStreetBets第一次被私有化時，資訊上寫著“like 4Chan found a Bloomberg Terminal”，這是subreddit被私有化之前的描述。

神祕的是，一些人聲稱，當r/華爾街投注變為私人時，他們失去了現有的訪問許可權：

週三早些時候，迪斯科禁止r/WallStreetBets伺服器。該公司表示，這一不和諧被禁止，因為“在反覆警告後繼續允許可憎和歧視性內容”，subreddit上的許多帖子都含有冒犯性的語言。

以下是r/WallStreetBets版主的完整帖子：

We have grown to the kind of size we only dreamed of in the time it takes to get a bad nights sleep. We’ve got so many comments and submissi*** that we can’t possibly even read them all, let alone act on them as moderators. We wrote software to do most of the moderation for us but that software isn’t allowed to read the Reddit new feed fast enough and submit resp***es, and the admins haven’t given us special access despite asking for it.

We’re suffering from success and our Discord was the first casualty. You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad. That room was golden and the people that run it are awesome. We blocked all bad words with a bot, which should be enough, but apparently if someone can say a bad word with weird unicode icelandic characters and someone can screenshot it you don’t get to hang out with your friends anymore. Discord did us dirty and I am not impressed with them destroying our community instead of stepping in with the wrench we may have needed to fix things, especially after we got over 1,000 server boosts. That is pretty unethical.

To add to this, people are co-opting our name on twitter. I won’t mention their accounts, but lots of handles with “w**” and “wallstreetbets” in them are pretending to speak for us. They’re saying things that we don’t agree with, driving traffic to derivative communities and shitty pixelated merch stores, and generally making it harder for us to define who we are. There’s also too much political bullshit in a community that was never ever political. The only way I want to occupy Wall St is in a suit myself or rent-free in the mind of a blown up short.

That is why I’m throwing my support behind the Twitter handle in general. We need a way to PUBLICLY reach out to the staff of the infrastructure that is failing us so the world can see that we aren’t doing anything wrong here if they don’t respond. We need to be able to respond directly to a reporter that is lying to the world about our clubhouse. We can’t be expected to meet any expectati*** when we aren’t given the tools we need.

That’s not to say I approve of every message or will even be in the loop for all of them, but it’s clear to me we can’t do nothing and we need a megaphone.

http://twitter.com/w**mod aka @w**mod is the only Twitter handle whose statements are directly from some part of the team.

We’ll do our best not to pretend to speak for you, but to try to speak with the volume our name now seems to command to get shit done for us.

更新1月27日，8:01PM東部時間：r/華爾街投注重新開放，與一個主持人的訊息，我們已經新增。
