        Back then you could make any user a mod without them having to accept.

        Not saying spez isn’t a cunt that allowed that community to exist for way too long, but let’s just be accurate when describing the shitstain.

          That’s true, and certainly worth noting.

          But I think it’s also worth noting that he remained a moderator for literal years and only killed the sub after serious media backlash. If no one made a big stink he wouldnt have changed anything

          Also he gave the head moderator his own custom trophy as well as the best sub of 2008 award. So I’ll let you draw your own conclusions

            Exactly. He’s a fuckin site admin, you’re telling me he couldn’t just take himself off as moderator right away? Dude probably loves touching kids and everyones is all “oh but anyone could add him”. Sick of that line lmao

      Woha wait. I missed these allegations, and I’m too dumb to tell if this is just a joke or a joke based on real allegations

        It’s sort of true from my understanding. He was added as moderator back when you could add anyone without them accepting it

          I knew the jailbait thing, not the cat allegations. Is spez just a furry or are we talking bestiality here?

            Oh I deleted my comment right after posting because I thought you were replying to someone else. It’s weird though because it shows itself as deleted for me but it also shows the comment got votes on it.

            AFAIK though the cat thing is just a meme about Garfield lol

              Yeah I sometimes also confuse who is answering who in Jerboa… And Lemmy won’t remove your comment from other instances that already synced with yours. It takes longer I hear.

              No worries!
