I addressed the critical subreddits in another comment. Basically, I meant the artist should be able to be made a mod of the main subreddit about his work. I know that's difficult to define. I just wish you could say "use common sense," but I don't think you can.

What he isn't telling everyone is that he was the 2nd ranked mod at xkcd before he decided to start this drama by making a comment in an SRS thread about holocaust denial.
He basically told SRS that soccer is a holocaust denier and that he was the head mod of xkcd and blah blah blah. next thing you know SRS is pissing all over soccer, so soccer decided to demod wyboth.
end of story. now he has been running this huge campaign to have soccer removed from xkcd and a bunch of SRSters wrote to randall and got him all worked up like they always do.
DUCK DYNASTY is basically whats happening here.
meanwhile /r/xkcd is still being enjoyed by thousands of people who haven't even noticed a change since wyboth was removed as mod. soccer added me as a mod because he knows me from conspiracy.. whooooohoooo! big deal.
Wyboth really needs to just grow up and get over it.
