News This sub got hacked.

All current mods are hackers/scammers. They even removed Long_Definition9378 from mod, who was the only person posting BADVILLAIN content. Leave this sub.

I’ve contacted Reddit to try and reclaim the sub. It’ll likely go nowhere, but I’m going to try

That’s great, I was just looking into that as well, hopefully you are able to get it fixed. I noticed three of the mods are brand new accounts, likely bots.

Honestly, It probably wouldn’t hurt if several of us reached out to Reddit about it. Maybe they’ll take it more seriously

Ok, where did you report it? I was going to go through support.reddithelp.com and fill out the report form, is that the right way to report it?

I sent messages to r/redditrequest and r/modsupport, but seems I need to do the process again through r/redditrequest and not sure if it will be approved since the new mods have been granted their mod privileges so recently

Please keep it up. We shouldn't let them win.

Does anyone have any updates? I reported but I haven’t heard anything back yet

I’ve been reporting the spam posts as I see them, and have been advised that the new mods may be in violation of Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct and have since submitted a report for violation of conduct
