I've been away doing Christmas stuff and I come back to see new is 99% shitposts, with only my own post and the one before this not being one.

why, so he can sell this page out too?
Who did he sell out to on the reddit? I don't blame him for being strict on there, the admins are practically breathing down our necks on that place.
He's active and doesn't seem prone to removing shit just because he doesn't like it.
Right after the split between kia and kia2 he began a series of closed-door "talks" with the old kia mods. If I remember correctly the involved parties were our resident quisling, TheHat2, HandOfBane and another 2 or so kia1 mods I don't remember the names of. The topic of said talks was that he, being the head mod of r/kotakuinaction2, offered to shut down that subreddit in order to suppress the rebellion.
After that caused a bit of an uproar, he unilaterally decided that any comment on that topic, any criticism of kia1 mods and any documentation of mod abuse from kia1 was verboten on kia2. His justification back then was that it would "poison his negotiations".
Instead, any such content had to be posted to a containment subreddit called r/kiameta, which he opened for that purpose. Transgression against that sacred rule was awarded with a permanent ban from both. That state carried on for a few weeks, then months, then half a year... All the while the evidence of mod abuse piled up. Then, after the documentation of mod abuse on kiameta became too plentiful to ignore, he simply put a lid on it and set it to private - which it remains as to this day.
I literally would not piss on that sorry excuse of a traitor if he was on fire. Actually I'd probably donate another gallon of gasoline for good measure.
I see. That's some old forum lore. Thanks for the explanation.

Here's some old drama, the top thread in particular gives a very good picture of AoV's qualities, or rather the complete lack thereof. You can probably find a few of my comments in those threads too, user FreshNothingBurger. Also I remembered the other two names, Haterjuiced and Pinkerbelle.
