Also a moderator or r/jailbait

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

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

I did not know about that last part. Thank you for the info.

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

Oh, that’s probably true.
