SRSSucks Invaders Ahoy!

/wyboth is posting in a thread about subreddit squatters *about* subreddit squatters.

Ahoy there! I'm the new mod of /r/xkcd[1] . If you look in our sidebar, you'll see it: soccer is our head mod. Yep, he's squatting our subreddit, too. For a while, he had /r/conspiracy[2] , /r/mensrights[3] , and /r/theredpill[4] linked to in the sidebar. This caused a great number of people to be angry, so they started a new subreddit called /r/xkcdcomic[5] to do the same thing as /r/xkcd[6] , but without the sidebar links. Soccer effectively halted their development by setting up AutoModerator to remove any comment or post that mentioned it. I asked to be modded a month ago since I moderate another subreddit he squats, and he added me. I removed all of the shit and added the CSS from /r/xkcdcomic[7] , and apparently he hasn't noticed! But, he's like a dormant volcano. Any second, he could erupt, revert my changes, and ban me. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Furthermore, there is nothing in his post that isn't true, and it's damn near prophetic.

It's pretty ironic to complain about /r/SRSsucks invaders when this sub is crawling with SRSers.

Yep, he's posting a comment about this issue in an SRS thread concerning the very problem that the SRSers here in SRD have with /r/xkcd. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that people know that SRS is involved in this.
