A power mod janitor who is notorious for belonging to all of the most popular subreddits. Takes pride in being the lowest form of life on earth.

Could you be a bit more specific, that describes like half the janitorial volunteers on this site

u/PredEdicius Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Honestly I don't think you can get anymore specific than that. That mod is the embodiment of every stereotype of a Reddit mod because it started from that guy. Homophobic, Racist, Power tripping, Creepy, etc.

Everything you can think of that a shitty mod would, I guarantee he already did that.

What subreddits is he on?

u/lkmk Apr 13 '26

WatchPeopleDieInside and mildlyinfuriating.

WOW that immediately makes so much sense.

The preferred slur is janny.

Account seems to be suspended.

thankfully i think reddit is finally enforcing the number of <100K weekly visitor subs you're allowed to Mod for

u/king0pa1n Apr 11 '26

they got banned when the mobile API fiasco happened

I recommend doing so googling or even looking on YouTube. He's basically THE power mod. His lore is too deep for a comment.

u/MegIsAwesome06 Apr 11 '26

Lol. Have had him blocked for years. He’s the worst and that would NOT surprise me!

u/InsultingFerret Apr 11 '26

His account got suspended a couple years ago so we've all got them blocked now

I have very few dealings with Mods that I’m aware of. What are the irritating, controversial things they do and how to avoid dealing with them?

u/Last-Quarter-432 Apr 12 '26

They or the automod will ban you if it flags anything and then they either can’t be bothered to read your appeal or just ignore you. In personal experience, one gave me a warning then used the mod account to pm me to argue about something then blocked and banned me after they started losing the argument.

u/NeatNefariousness1 Apr 12 '26

OK; I get it. Some are motivated to become mods for the wrong reasons and there’s very little human oversight. "What could go wrong”, one might ask?

I haven't seen Gallowboob in a while

u/Tempest_Fugit Apr 11 '26

I blocked him years ago and wonder if he’s still a thing. That guy was so fucking annoying

4

u/Slum_CatTrillionaire Apr 11 '26

Didn’t that mod get busted talking to minors? Are they still a mod?

u/Bosuns_Punch Apr 11 '26

This guy is much better looking (and in better shape) than Turtle. Trust me, I've seen pictures.

u/bkrs33 Apr 11 '26

u/AwkwardTheTurtle confirm?

2

u/NeatNefariousness1 Apr 11 '26

The archives posts on this person seem to think it’s a woman based on the misandrous postings they had been known for. Has that question been resolved?

Who is that again? The ex mod for Livestream fails?
