Hi All,

I was the owner / 'head' mod of the Sub.

I went to bed, woke up and the sub gone.

Traffic in the last month started sky-rocketing and had no idea how or where it was all coming from, but could obviously see it was left leaning subs coming in to see what was happening and obviously reporting the sub.

The typical death of any centre / right leaning sub.

**One tid-bit that I found interesting was I added 2 new mods to help out, did the usual background checks on post history and both were fine, no r/politics or r/news etc. Once the sub was canned, the Mod that was actually super-excited and actually helpful - his account has been deleted

Well, I'm here now :)

I was just talking to you on PM on reddit. At around September 2022, I made a similar sub to yours, and that's how I met you. I remember adding you to the sub as moderator, but then getting cancelled by the admins sometime later. I can't remember the username or sub name, though.

I was inspired to start it by this moderator's ill behavior in /r/teachers https://i.imgur.com/1Ue6eQl.png

I went through reveddit (yes, it was still a thing before that got cancelled) and curated an invite-list based on who that mod was being a jerk to, and expanded it later on when I saw other mod misconduct. I figured people who said something against the expressed wishes of the mods, regardless of opinions/politics, were better to have around than the zombie-bot puppets who have no opinion of their own.

That might be the single stupidest thing I've ever read.

There's no single thing there, so by all means, please articulate to us what part of this discussion you find to be the stupidest thing, because I have no idea what exactly you are talking about.

Well, if I'd written "Beowulf may be the single most boring thing I've ever read," I think you'd understand what I meant. That's the sense in which I am using "thing": that entire image you posted, of that Reddit moderator's history, may be the single stupidest thing I've ever read.

"Dude, you're hella banned" is a particularly weird, stupid, and trashy thing to write.

That's the maturity of people on reddit in a subreddit called /r/teachers. Basically the special ed kids running the forum.
