View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
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.

Most of the people disagreeing here and on depthub are not SRSers, just normal people who think that you guys deleting and censoring posts and comments critical of your moderation with an iron fist and repeatedly lying and cheating to put your biased links in the sidebar over and over again is wrong.
Nothing to do with SRS, most people don't give a shit about your ideologies. They just don't like having mods who lie and censor everything, while forcing their beliefs on a subreddit.

The real issue is that holocaust denialism, the red pill, and conspiracy theories have no relevance to xkcd at all, and should not be sidebarred on an xkcd sub.
Moderating is not a pulpit for mods to further their own agendas. It would be no more appropriate for me to link /r/jazzguitar in the sidebar if I were a mod. As much as I enjoy that sub it has no bearing on a webcomic about science, math, and physics whatsoever.

To your credit, that's due to a well executed censorship campaign on the part of soccer, you and kamen. Without that, you'd probably be losing a hundred subscribers per day, instead of the ~20 that you are with it.
he decided to start this drama by making a comment in an SRS thread about holocaust denial.
based on kamen's respoonse[1] it looks like *he* started the drama with a messages to soccer, and SRS probably didn't even send anything. You should of course note that kamen is the kind of character that would create a bunch of alts to harass somebody to get his way(his involvement with /r/worstofSRS: a number his compatriots there have been worse-than-shadowbanned from reddit, and they've all got some... *issues*). I'm thinking he pissed on soccer with alts, then messaged soccer claiming it was wyboth's fault to kick his mortal enemy, *the evil SRS* out of the subreddit and instate himself instead.

You're actually the one that needs to get over it. How did your attempt at bartering subs go? Have you left r/conspiracy yet? Just stick to holocaust denial, it seems more your speed
