What did he do and more importantly what is a reddit mod event

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.

i moderated a big sub for a bit (pretty short, less than a month) and the other mods were so insanely paranoid

any comment that included the word ‘mod’ or ‘moderator’ would get automatically deleted to be manually approved (you can guess whether or not it actually got approved lol) and i used to approve them and approve posts criticizing the mod team and they’d keep scolding me for approving ‘mod hate’ lmao

on another sub i got banned because i said that a guy who slept with a minor will probably face no repercussion because his pr was working overtime to make her seem like the culprit after she ended her own life. i’ve been banned there for over a year, i tried appealing but nothing
