I have no control over that and no say over that. Based on your posts here and on Reddit, you seem to have a significant misunderstanding of what moderating actually is on Reddit.
I “got the job” as a moderator like this:
“Hey, I hang out around here a bit. Need help?”
“Okay.”
That’s it. I don’t know any of the other moderators. I don’t contact them. I don’t even spend that much time on the sub. I spend way more time here.
One of the first moderating things I did was address a post faking a well-know GAW user, because I knew that user, knew GAW, and could identify the fake.
It’s not a position of some sort. I’m not paid. I don’t have contacts. I’m not some important bigwig. We’re just random people who enjoy the sub and are considered fair in applying the sub rules.
Q posts are banned as harmful misinformation following the Will Be Wild day. That’s it. Every sub that has allowed Q posts to be posted has been banned following Jan 6. I have no real allegiance to Reddit and wouldn’t ban Q stuff myself if I had control over the site, but like I said, I have no greater chance of convincing Reddit to change this stance than you do. They don’t know me. I don’t have any insight into their process. The sub just a community where people talk. As far as I know, we’ve never even been contacted by the Reddit admins.
I don’t know why you have the belief that moderators have any unique status in the world. I wasn’t made a moderator by Reddit. I was made a moderator by other mods, who were made mods by whoever created the sub, who himself was just some random guy. I’ve never spoken to a Reddit admin in my life.
Look, I'm kind of out of time for this level of discourse for the day, and am happy to pick it up later, despite your insistence that you were no longer interested in talking with me.
But in the meantime, I am very content to continue waiting for Q with you. The days go by rather quietly for me and it costs me nothing to continue waiting. And I've promised over and over that if Q turns out to be right and the EBS is launched and so forth, then I will be here for you guys to mock as much as you'd like.
I am not in any way afraid of Q being correct about things and would lose nothing in such a world. My disagreement with him is not based on any personal investment. So I will wait as long as you guys are willing to wait.

(((It))) skillfully dodged your question. Mods always know “why.” They’re in the position to make those bans.
