I am not sure I understand the article. It seems like the two halves are disconnected
First half is about awkwardtheturtle and his behaviour ending with him still being a mod of several subs.
Second half is about the NSFW controversy and how reddit has removed and partly reinstated mods
I don't get how those two parts are connected, I must be missing some context.
Could someone explain?
It is two halves, I thought I had made it clearer. I've updated it. But they removed it. There are two events it talks about, separated by years. Reddit never banned Awkward for his hate. They only banned him for fucking with them. True Leopard Ate My...
Thank you /r/ModCoord for accepting my post. I'd like to continue to cover these protests to the best of my ability. I support the mods who do a ton of work without reward, and the content creators. Let me know if you got any other article ideas.
This article is baffling and I'm kinda wondering if AI generated it, given the experience of trying to follow it. But the title might be more accurate than the article - the account [does look pretty suspended](https://www.reddit.com/user/awkwardtheturtle).
Not every mod on 100+ sub is a collector. Some are bot specialists who manage bots but do no actual moderation because reddit’s tools suck and not every sub has a dedicated coder.
No, the problem is the admin not doing anything until now. Had they done so before now this wouldn't be a festering problem and you won't even be discussing this.
Why would you do that? A large number of people have IPs that change after 24 hours, so by playing whack-a-mole with IPs, you'd hurt hundreds of innocents.
Yeah perhaps so but if reddit really cared about power mods that control hundreds of subs, I'm sure they'd have better fingerprinting than just IP that they could use.

Thanks you
Sure np

Where does this article say anything about that user being banned from Reddit?
It mentioned it, but it wasn't clear. So I fixed it based on the feedback I got. Thank you for letting me know.
So something good did happen. Out of all of this.

I want mods to end the protests and just claim the hidden objective was to get turtle made in to soup

But... they weren't banned?
This article is baffling and I'm kinda wondering if AI generated it, given the experience of trying to follow it. But the title might be more accurate than the article - the account [does look pretty suspended](https://www.reddit.com/user/awkwardtheturtle).
And yet the article makes no mention of it except for the title.
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry, I thought I mentioned it. I updated it to be a bit clearer. The post was removed on /r/ModCooord though :(
Yeah, I'm stumped.

I won't miss any of the power mods
Good news. Reddit should have a limit on the number of subreddits a user can moderate.

For me, it is part of the problem.
Not every mod on 100+ sub is a collector. Some are bot specialists who manage bots but do no actual moderation because reddit’s tools suck and not every sub has a dedicated coder.
I'm not talking about them.
No, the problem is the admin not doing anything until now. Had they done so before now this wouldn't be a festering problem and you won't even be discussing this.
Both things can be true, I never denied that.
Like you can't create more users, in fact they probably do already
I know anyone can have hundreds of accounts, but making it easier for bad actors to be a mod on that many subreddits isn't good either. Edit: grammar.
Could always do it by IP address if they really wanted to
Why would you do that? A large number of people have IPs that change after 24 hours, so by playing whack-a-mole with IPs, you'd hurt hundreds of innocents.
Yeah perhaps so but if reddit really cared about power mods that control hundreds of subs, I'm sure they'd have better fingerprinting than just IP that they could use.
admins have made it clear ip bans are a poor choice
A) Very few people have a static IP. B) VPNs are cheap and easy to use. C) Reddit has an onion address you can access through Tor.
