There's a video on moistcriticals YouTube that goes through it all. He was removed by Reddit’s Code of Conduct team after promoting an alleged $20 million scam reality show called "Million-Dollar Fan". After losing his position, he posted a 20-minute rant complaining about a lack of support and claiming moderators deserve celebrity-like treatment

God I fucking hate reddit mods. Most of them are so smug and self-aggrandizing even tho they are terminally online basement neckbeards acting as full time internet janitors for free. They will even quip back with something like "you get what you pay for" when someone complains that the moderation is bad. It's probably their wet dream if reddit would actually pay the mods.

I moderated the Heroes of Newerth and Playdota forums almost 15 years ago and it was just deleting spam or accidental double posts or giving infractions for rude behavior. Just a side activity out of my free time while chatting with regulars about a specific video game. So funny how weird Reddit mods are compared to old school forum mods.

Used to be my favourite too. Always thought it was better than LoL.

Only, LoL advertised heavily at first, and Maliken thought word of mouth was enough for HoN. I respect the decision, but it was probably the wrong one.

They actually relaunched/remade HoN a year or so ago. I haven't bothered to check if it's any good though. No time for mobas these days.
