~~Drama? On~~ *~~Reddit!?~~* ~~I, for one, am always long on $PCRN.~~
This is actually still ongoing, so I don’t want to say too much about it right now. We want to be respectful of the situation. As you can see from this post, they've had a pretty wild few weeks. We're working with the current mod team to keep the best interests and health of the wsb community in mind.

This data is super interesting, thanks for the share.
I used to be a wsb mod-lite (flair etc) before modpocalypse but stayed away from all the drama since I was busy with work. Props to you guys for all the chaos that comes unexpected in tsunami-tier events.

First of all, great data points.
Not to dwell on it, but I'm a ... a little disheartened in this answer actually. Working with "the current mod team" after what *felt* (and I stress the word: felt, I'm just an observer) like a bit of a coup seems like it solidifies favor in one direction. I hope the former mods are also getting a chance to share their perspectives with you officially.

Thanks for the answer. I completely understand there are still things in motion. Just curious is all.

Since you can’t talk about that subject, can you say if the admins are working on implementing a system to prevent mod/subreddit takeovers like this? It can be very difficult for a community to do anything vs a mod gone rogue. And if the subreddit is not the size of wallstreetbets and not getting so much attention it can be difficult to get a response from admins or help dealing with the situation. Communities need some better tools to deal with these kinds of things.

Unban u/zjz and ban the previously inactive corrupt fucks trying to turn wsb into crypto-shill bullshit.

Real answer:
OG wsb mods cashed out via movie deals (not joking) and they were replaced by hanger-ons trying to exploit the current situation.
The second wave of mods are currently being expelled and replaced with good mods again

Please let Reddit subs be much more Democratically moderated. In times of drama, allow the users to decide.
It shouldn’t take you 10 years of running Reddit to realize that nepotism is not a good way to build a healthy and long-lasting community.

whats the point of having superiority of being a senior mod when a mod you invite starts a mutiny?
