Scientists and engineers involved with the Jason-3 mission, launching on Falcon 9 next week, will be doing an AMA on r/science tomorrow, Jan. 5.

I don't consider a community positively collating informative, insightful questions for the mutual benefit of all to be vote brigading - especially considering we won't even be promoting said questions as a subreddit. That's all I can add to this.

You showing the questions to other users ahead of time makes them distinguished from other questions and thereby gives you a clear voting advantage. If you can't even admit that it gives you an advantage I don't know what else to say to you. Even if that wasn't enough, another user has already stated that they planned to make another post about it.

You in your tenure as a moderator will have removed (silently, I might add) far more questions in AMA's in the past, than you will be making visible by preventing these questions from being submitted - so your message is hypocritical.

We hide questions based on specific criteria, all of which are available and based on quality. This isn't close to the same thing but you already knew that. You're just trying to score points at this point.

Overall, this community could likely do a better job of presenting questions to your guests than the average commenter in /r/science anyway.

There we have it. You clearly think you're better/more deserving than other users which is why you don't see this as a fairness issue.

At any rate, you are likely correct that we are at an impasse because I care about fairness to all users, not just you and your voting bloc. I know it can be hard to see outside of your own self-interest sometimes but I do encourage you to consider this from a fairness perspective as this may improve your abilities as a mod in the future. Just some friendly feedback back at you.
