Over on Reddit, /r/AssholeDesign was taken over by a moderator that had been radio silent for over two years. The linked Imgur album contains modmail screenshots and our entire conversation after calling them out for this betrayal.

    There’s a hack for this: remove all mods including yourself, subreddit is now unmoderated, report the unmoderated sub to admins, they nuke it. However the name won’t be available again.

      Tried that. It didn’t take. Even though I tired remove myself, I was put back on somehow.

      And the unmoderated sub can be picked back up by anyone who requests it. It’s how a lot of old porn subs got turned into subs about cats.
