View submission: [Updated] Who runs /r/Holocaust? Each line represents a moderator overlap. [OC]
Should be easy enough to do; I just need an easy way of getting the modlists. (I know it's possible; I just don't have the programming know-how).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit 2: **Woohoo, banned from /r/Holocaust!**

I can help you with that. Here's how you would go about it.
1.
Use the api like so: http://api.reddit.com/r/worldnews/about/moderators
2.
Convert the JSON result set to human readable name list with a tool like this https://json-csv.com/
3. Save the CSV file and extract the data in the name column.
If that's helpful but you need to do this on a large scale, send me a PM and I'd be happy to help write something.
EDIT: I looked on GitHub and found this project: https://github.com/dlew/reddit-mods

just goto, www.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/about/moderators to get a list of mods for a sub. You could also do /about/banned or /about/contributors for some more good info.
example: http://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/about/moderators

Exactly what do you need? I'd be happy to try and get the data for you.

Ok, so here is my contribution: http://jsfiddle.net/K7HfL/embedded/result/
Just choose what list you want (moderators, contributors, banned), type in the subreddit name and click the button (or hit enter).
Would be nice if someone added the visualization part.

It's within the same html tags, right? Couldn't you just build a scraper for it?

When the new default subs were added, I made a list of all the mods in each sub, you might want to use that.

If you're familiar with R, this is pretty straightforward:
sub <- "dataisbeautiful"
# Cludge the data together with grep
library(RCurl)
moddata <- getURL(paste("http://api.reddit.com/r/",sub,"/about/moderators",sep=""))
modlist <- gsub('(.*)\\", \"id.*',"\\1",strsplit(moddata,'name\": \"')[[1]][-1])
sublist <- lapply(as.list(paste("http://www.reddit.com/user/",modlist,sep="")),getURL)
getsubs <- function(txt) {
txt <- gsub('.*<ul id="side-mod-list"(.*?)</ul>.*',"\\1",txt)
txt <- gsub("(.*?)/.*","\\1",strsplit(txt,"a href=\"/r/")[[1]][-1])
txt
}
sublist <- lapply(sublist,getsubs)
# Summarise
sumsubs <- table(unlist(sublist,F,F))
sumsubs <- sumsubs[sumsubs>1 & names(sumsubs)!=sub]
For 'dataisbeautiful' we get:
askscience 2 classicalmusic 2 gamedesign 2 photographs 2 photography 2 science 2

You should also do it for /r/Racism, that surfers from the same bias problem. You will get instantly ban if you suggest that hate and prejudice exists against whites or post articles depicting the Zimbabwe situation. Really sad

No worries. There are some stupid fucking subreddits. I got banned from twoxchromosomes.... like those bitches are proud of having a jacked up genotype.
