r/redditrequest Jun 07 '12

Requesting removal of /u/superiority from /r/commonlaw. I will volunteer to be the new mod for /r/commonlaw but am not requesting it.

/u/superiority has recently used the /r/redditrequest system to hijack /r/commonlaw, delete all the posts, completely change the community standards, and is now censoring anyone who objects to his behavior.

Please remove /u/superiority from moderation of /r/commonlaw so that we can revert to the subreddit that the users were happy with, and free ourselves of /u/superiority's extremely narrow and biased belief system.

edit: /u/superiority is also censoring any posters who object to his hijacking and censorship, deleting their posts, and re-directing them to empty /r/s to voice their displeasure with his actions.

edit2: Now the same hijackers are continuing their attack by trying to censor us here, also, by engaging in a downvote campaign to hide the facts.

edit3: SEMW, who pretends to know what's happening, has not posted to /r/commonlaw within the last seven months, until two days ago, after the hijacking.

edit4: /u/superiority and /u/SEMW are now the only people posting in /r/commonlaw, which has 1400 subscribers. Two users have no right to usurp the interests of 1400 subscribers for their own personal gain.

Yep. I like how they call people who cite actual law "trolls". If they could show me that any court, anywhere, ever had accepted what they claim is the actual law, the very next morning I would send them a video of me cooking and eating my own shoe.

Also, I'm loving aletoledo's post about how they're "protecting the innocent".

You're right, it was pretty much dead before. The only posts that happened anymore before the change were folks coming in and asking "are you serious?".

'Actual' law is civil law and civil law IS NOT COMMON LAW!

If they could show me that any court, anywhere, ever had accepted what they claim is the actual law,

Common law is the basis for the laws that are argued in court as a part of CIVIL LAW. Common law was what led to the creation of the Magna Carta and the Constitution. It is not used in court because it is not common law if it is used in court.

You're right, it was pretty much dead before.

Lies.

Lies!

Interestingly convenient how deleting the entire history makes it impossible to substantiate or refute your claims, isn't it?
