Is that the same Spez who moderated /r/jailbait?
- Wasnt that back when you could make anyone a mod, without their permission?
  If we're gonna point to things that spez actively has done, then theres plenty of shit..
  Like knowingly letting all the pedo subs exist and run rampant (until the news media caught wind and hurt advertising)
  
  Editing people's comments without their input/consents another big controversy with his involvement too.
  
  Yep, i just wanted to stay relevant to his seemingly pro-pedo stance and didnt want to make a comprehensive list.
  
  It was, but that has been dramatized and exaggerated. The comments he edited all said "fuck u/spez", and the edit was obvious.
  Y'all make it sound like subtle manipulation, which was presented as a danger, but wasn't what happened there.
  
  It is entirely possible he was tagged as a mod without knowing. At first. But if he wanted to he could have immediately removed himself. And then there's the fact that the main mod of that sub was given some kind of special custom flare
  
  pretty sure it was a pimp flair, cant remember the exact name but it was something like that
  
  Honestly I can't remember either? But I remember for sure it was something unique that was given to him by the administrators.
  
  Violent_Acres was his name I believe.
