IDK when that changed, but I was told by a user on modcoord that spez was added to that sub without his knowledge. I mean it’s bad enough that admin allowed subs like this to proliferate and continue their activity.
The guy is a major DB, and has, for sure, done a lot of questionable to unethical stuff, but apparently modding that sub knowingly isn’t accurate. I like to be right when I’m criticizing the dude and there’s plenty to choose from.
I wasn’t really trying to answer the question of if he knew or not. idk if he did or not. I was just agreeing, based on what someone informed me, that yes what you said is probably correct, that he didn’t initially realize it. I guess my point is, it doesn’t really matter when he realized. He was added without permission, and removed himself. The fact that he was or wasn’t mod doesn’t negate the fact the reddit tolerated these subs and he has done plenty of shit that’s easily proven that it’s not like anyone really needs this issue to be the defining moment.
