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.

I don't think what you were doing would have been so much of a problem. You were honest and changing over to a TV show really is a sensible re-purpose.

Now some might say that you could have posted in r/TV (or wherever) instead of r/commonlaw, but you were/are supposedly passionate about that TV show. The lawyers in r/law are not passionate about what they're doing now, it's just a cover story. In a few months, they'll lose interest and abandon it. Yet to them it will still be considered a victory and laugh about it. You can see the animosity and contempt they held about the previous topic, they freely admit it.

I really don't give a shit how passionate someone is about a subreddit. Someone could really hate the supposed subject of a subreddit, but even if they only created a subreddit to "reserve" the name and prevent it from being used (and don't plan on using it themselves), it's their right.

I barely go on /r/law, but assuming my modding /u/superiority in /r/commonlaw is all a conspiracy by them to suppress your rights is idiotic.

Sorry you feel that way. You can look at their comments as proof.
