View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.
It would be nice if there were a mechanism for the community of /r/politics to regain control of that hijacked subreddit.
Bad moderators are pretty much the biggest problem with reddit in the past couple of years, but really the problem is that the admins allow anyone who happened to have gained control of a reddit to do anything they want, regardless of whether the community wants it, whether that reddit has an established history, whether the people twisting it into something different are the ones who created it or not. There's no protection for any community here, no matter how larger or long-lasting or well-established, from the random arbitrary whims of future moderators.
