News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
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 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
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.

Maybe he was made one without him knowing…
He could have removed himself immediately upon noticing…
Source for the fact he noticed?
Ewww I’m defending Spez
So either he was a jailbait mod or so bad at his job that he doesn't understand optics. Or both.
As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.
I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.
Fair point!
I'm pretty sure I remember spez making a special reddit award for the wierdo fuck that created jailbait.
Source?
Considering that Spez is the one who controls the mod logs, he could show that he was made a mod instead of invited/accepted and was inactive. I don’t have access to the evidence. Spez does.
Brushing up on the “proven ways Spez sux” file would surely provide more than enough back-pocket fodder to pull out when there’s a chance to drag him :)
I’m a stickler for stuff like this, e.g. someone complains about mythical reasons corporations or governments are against us and I wonder… why risk opponents being able to prove conspiracy theories wrong and distract from legitimately awful/criminal behavior! There’s so much of it!
He literally directly edited comments criticizing him to point to r/The_Donald mods(About 2014-2015-2016, this was news around that time).
Everything from that time period on that related subreddit has been scorched Earth removed from the net. So I'm not sure even Spez has a record of it. Hell. The Anderson Cooper bit about it is even gone.
I doubt law enforcement would allow records from r/jailbait to be scrubbed completely, especially mod logs and mod chats. That’s a source of evidence to build cases against predators, even years later.
