Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez.

Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there’s nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word “removed”

    Are they actually independent of Reddit Inc? I had assumed a lot of those Reddit accounts moderating a huge amount of subs are actually Reddit employees.

    Also those type of Reddit accounts often don’t do much actual moderating. They are the reason people complain about top mods that can’t be removed, never respond to modmail, etc. & will randomly wake up to make changes to the subreddit whenever they feel like it.

      Bingo.

      Few years ago I was invited to mod a small but growing community.
      About a year later the sub founder (and other mods) just gradually disappeared.
      When I brought this up, the top mod (a month later and without warning) removed everyone and asked to DM him if we wanted to continue being mods.

      Every single person re-applied, but the inactivity continued.

      When I looked at their profile, it turned out they were moderating dozens of subs, and according to the moderation log, I was the only one who actually performed any mod actions in the last 6 months.

      This was when I took my leave.
      Again, we’re talking about a small ~20k community.
      I can’t even imagine the kind of clout chasing that goes around in large subs.
