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.

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.
