      And he was a mod for a very disgusting sub back when it was active.

        Although I dislike him as much as anyone, I read that in the early days you could add users as mods without the need for users to accept.

          He was supposedly posting on the sub as well. Plus you can remove yourself as a mod, especially if you’re an admin.

          Jailbait. There’s a bit more to the story though…mod invites were auto-approved at the time. But he seemingly embraced it, even if he didn’t directly acknowledge it.

            “Seemingly”? He sent a physical Reddit trophy to the lead perv of that sub and bragged about it in different subs (along with other mods), and that doesn’t even begin to touch on the barely-veiled alts he was known to use in that sub and elsewhere to circumvent rules, alter votes, and massage narratives. The guy’s a festering moron with a mic.

            source: OG Redditor who stood up to that clique back when.

              Thanks, I had forgotten the details.

              Kind of wonder if this adds any merit to the /u/maxwellhill conspiracy.

                  That that user was secretly Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein friend and co-conspirator. She got arrested the same day powermod /u/maxwellhill’s account went dark.

                  Mind you, this was /r/conspiracy territory, the same folks who paraded around Pizzagate, so take with a heaping scoop of salt.
