Bunch of mods defending one mod who very clearly abused their position to promote their ideology by saying they, "talked to him." Even with multiple people showing receipts they lumped all is transgressions into one and gave a slap on the wrist — if that.
Users ask for more transparency and for mods to show which mods take what actions and the justifications behind it, but are met with the biggest copout I think a mod could give, which is that they won't because it would, "open the mods up to harassment."
Apparently they forgot that they have all the power; either that, or they're not keen on having to explain when they ban someone they disagree with, or delete something they don't like. I sincerely doubt if they applied more transparent enforcement that they'd get harassed in any overly intrusive way — if at all. If anything, it'd make them take their role more seriously and strive to enforce rules fairly.
Looking at an analysis of his account history, it definitely looks like Teapot is an alt account. His comment history on that account suddenly spiked after becominging a mod. Source
Didn't ActualPublicFreakouts start because PublicFreakouts started getting too political and censorious? And now, 10 months later APF is having the same thing happen to it as PF? Do people never learn?

Hah, good one. Now, where have I heard of this before ...
I can think of a couple dick wolves who might fit the bill.
Even after being "talked to" he's still running around on that subreddit stirring shit, and on others complaining about "Trumpers"
I see two possibilities here
funny how this happens a week after someone posted how different the setup of posts between these two subs is.
Sub's compromised and mods aren't kicking out the subverter in their midst?
It will become another lefty shithole.
that teapot kid is such a shit mod, the evidence is there that there is no reason they shouldnt be demodded, but "lets give them another chance"

It looks like with the appearance of that post a new publicfreakout subreddit has popped up. Meet https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakoutsReborn/
I was worried after Animemes went private I wouldn't have my daily dose of reddit drama.
Its always so juicy. Respectable how few of them seem to be accepting this shit. Even KIA prime had more mod sucking sycophants when they fucked up.
Pretty much confirming that the old r/publicfreakout was subverted to shit.

First, they came for the GamerGate'ers, and I did not speak out because the media said they were Nazis
