This is how they ruin Reddit.

New people come.

Add mods.

New mods censor.

But m7 also removes mods that users complain about - or rather he did long ago. Many long-term mods no longer visit Saidit.

Mods who abuse saidit mod rules will definitely still be removed. A well-known user was removed from his mod positions just a few months ago because he refused to reduce the number of subs he moderated to below 40 after dozens of polite requests.

Yes - he has only himself to blame, given his experience & many warnings - and I think Saidit was a major part of his life for 4 years while online. He's been in the chat, and I think he'll likely return to his original account in due course. There are some unhinged users who will ask you if they can mod the major subs. If at any point you'd like more info, please feel free to ask me and others, or make an 'asksaidit' post, where users can potentially recommend the relatively sane (tolerant), active users, or warn you of potential problems.
