Good on you.
It was quite depressing seeing how many sub reddits ended their protests as soon as the mods were threatened with being removed from their unpaid positions.
The power and control really does go to some people's heads.
I think we need some rule or something here that limits the number of communities you can moderate
The only time you can successfully institute anti-corruption tactics is early. After that it’s pretty much impossible.
Not that I disagree with your premise, but the people that want to do it will just create alts.
That's just a cat and mouse game. IMHO, the admins and developers have better things to do with their life.
Yeah, I stayed on the sub I used to moderate, and then when the community didn't want to keep up the protest I left them, I wouldn't really be able to do a good job anyway when the app I used for it when not sitting in front of the PC wouldn't work anymore, so it wouldn't make sense anyway, so rewrote and deleted all my comments, before I did the account itself, and my alt account as well.
