View submission: The Soccer-Flytape Conspiracy: A small group of users is squatting on extreme amounts of non-default subreddits in order to control information and discussion on a large scale. r/conspiracy mod u/flytape is directly complicit.

/u/pimpst1ck is pretty much correct in everything he has already said.

While /u/Flytape will cry about the first amendment and censorship that isn't actually what this is about. This is him stomping out at least two communities who don't want him there.

He was added as a mod by /u/soccer to /u/holocaust to stop an attempt by another user to make it a more active place. Now he's one of many mods which includes /u/bumblingmumbling who made this sick holocaust joke:

/r/holocaust isn't actually about discussion. Posts about the holocaust that suggest it may have happened are being regularly removed by said moderators. For example, try to find this post on the sub:

http://www.reddit.com/r/holocaust/comments/1w75hr/report_on_documenting_killing_sites_throughout/

/u/Flytape was then asked to mod /u/xkcd by the same /u/soccer who has been holding on to the top mod spot there despite the community saying they don't want that. They created a protest sub called /u/xkcdcomic. The creator of the xkcd comic has stated publicly he does not want /u/Flytape moderating a community about his comics:

While /u/Flytape has continued to deny he is a holocaust denier he is actually a self-admitted holocaust denier. He correctly pointed out in the past that "holocaust denial" has different varieties to it:

He has openly stated that he is in the middle category that he described in that post:

Some people believe that the numbers were exaggerated.

And now he's being an enabler to the category he claims is very rare:

Some people, an extreme few of them, claim it didn't happen at all.

This obviously isn't a free speech issue. Those communities don't want him and his buddies there. He's simply a trolling, community stomping, attention whore.
