  • Most likely this incident is an indirect result of that coup. After that, they had to rapidly replenish the mod team and didn’t have time to vet people, so they ended up with someone like this.

    FWIW my recollection from looking over sunbothersco at the time was that they were a clout-seeker with no meaningful history on /r/piracy - they were repeatedly and aggressively asking to be made top mod of a wide variety of subs at the time, with no real connection between them. It sucks that reddit was forcing out top mods, but I wish they’d at least followed through on their threat to make it democracy, since there’s no way we would have ended up with someone like that if the system had been anything but “randomly hand the sub to whoever asks first and loudest.”
