Pretty much the same thing happened to /r/assholedesign. They made someone that's been inactive for two years the lead mod and they reopened the sub. There's like no chance ppl aren't getting paid to backstab the other mods.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
WTF is this happy horseshit?
I'd like to see about implementing some sort of identity verification service for the sub.
Exactly my response too. Like this inexperienced mod takes the sub by playing nice with the admins and the first thing they want to implement is identity verification? Dafaq
Does he know he is a 'Reddit' mod?
It would be a shame if people posted about them on linkedin
never heard of this sub and it sounds kind of gross just from the name tbh.
i find it hilarious that the new mod wants to implement an elaborate ID system and ??Escrow??. wow. he^1^ sounds like he would like to implement the stories told by all the conspiracy people on the sub. maybe he plans to put this on his job application for the gates foundation lololol Sounds like a deeeeeelicious time.
GOOD LUCK FRIEND
1 - do not think it is too far out on a limb to assume male gender in this case.
Let them fight, they might actually learn that being a (good) mod is not a cakewalk.
I like the new mod's comment about how modding will be easy because of the bots. Lol
So many astroturf vibes coming off this new mod's post...
