    Spez is a piece of shit, but wasn’t that a joke? Like other mods added him as a mod?

      At the time you could add someone as a mod without their say so. and apparantly thats what happened with Spez.

      Doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t instantly remove himself but left it there for years.

      Excellent point. I’m sure the guy who edited user comments couldn’t have un-modded himself at any given point.

      Wouldn’t that mean that he was likely sent CSAM - and possibly didn’t report it?

      That would indicate that there would be no plausible deniability about the trading rings being run by the mods and users.

      Reddit would not have removed r/jailbait if it hadn’t made CNN. R/picsofdeadkids was up for long after that.

        Not for much longer. Gawker doxxed Violentacrez shortly after, and I believe he shut down all his subs when that happened.
