This seems like it would be easily trollable. People could spam the sub requests pretending to be interested, get the “job”, take it dark again, Reddit takes it back and looks for more moderators from the same pool, repeat.

Some with interesting discussions (that are not porn subs):
From ender3 mods:
moving the sub to NSFW is apparently the violation of their “content policy” that me (who actually switched it) did to be removed.
But also apparently every other mod also somehow did this, including one who hasn’t been online in over a year?
Consistency or logic does not seem to matter in such self-destructive pursuits…
They canned me, tausicam, and valiance all.
Even though I was ‘cooperating’ with their ‘investigation’ at every turn, and the others may have been also.
My favorite comment “no u” lmao
Look at the post history of the bot, they took over quite a few subs already
Fewer than 20 so far given that most of them are from before the protests. I wonder why those ones in particular.
Haha, one of the comments from over there:
I don’t work for free unless its for charity.
Reddit isn’t a charity even though it does seem to hire special needs people for it’s executive staff.
That’s an ableist statement. Uncool.
