There's people calling for that dudes real life job because cheating at an online game apparently is worth that.
So fucking weird.

It's because they got caught doing this, when reddit admins have a history of doing shady things (Spez shadow editing comments from users, them hiring a pedophile and then banning anyone who discussed it until the news caught wind for example). It's not that people are upset just at them ruining place, it's that they are doing everything possible to make engagements to more people but extremely shallow vs deep engagement with long term users.

I think you're missing the point. His job is to moderate the community, and he's deleting posts and banning users who point out that he's cheating.
Just like with the anti-work stuff. The initial incident isn't great, but the extremely ham-fisted moderation following that incident is the thing that really upsets people.

I mean, abusing privileges is absolutely the sort of thing that gets people fired. The fact that they did so over something exceedingly dumb is beside the point.
And sure, this isn't as bad as something like the time spez admitted to changing comments because he thought it was funny, but it's not great either.
