He was the moderator of a sub called “jailbait” for a long time. What’s less clear is if that was something he did on purpose or if someone else assigned him as a mod as a prank assuming he wouldn’t notice
As I remember it, reddit got its start when “internet culture” was pretty heavily downstream of 4chan/somethingawful/ytmnd. And pedo-type behaviour was pretty normalized in those spaces.
FYI Spez is a pedophile piss-boy.
What’s the origin of the pedo accusation?
Edit: Is pedophile on the list of words we’re gonna make meaningless now?

I always wondered why a subreddit like that was allowed to exist in the first place. I guess I have my answer now.

When someone invites you to become a moderator you have to click a couple times to accept. It was no accident.
Not exactly. In the olden days of reddit no confirmation on your part was necessary.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks!
That wasn’t how it worked at first. Back when I first joined Reddit you could be made moderator of a sub by another user without confirmation
He could have removed himself.

Ohh I remember that. I also seem to remember you used to be able to make other people mods without confirmation back then? Maybe I’m misremembering.
This is correct. We should hate spez for being a skeevy ashole, but let’s not make up random accusations.
Pedophile, Racist, Nazi, Fascist, The list grows daily
The right is already working hard on that
I vote not helping in the effort.

Can we clarify what “not much different” means? I’m not mad at this guy for calling people names…
