/u/soccer purposely demanded mod access to subreddits where the main mod was not active, as it is possible on /r/redditrequest. Look at that subreddit and see how many subreddits he was "modding". He essentially was a subreddit squatter. He just made a post to every subreddit he was a mod in every 60 days to stay active to the system.
