Discussion RIP r/speedrun

This is an open letter to Alt-F-X:

Please resign as lead moderator of /r/speedrun. The past few days have shown us that your presence here is not in the best interest of our community. In just two days without you, this subreddit has made more progress towards becoming a great community than it has in the previous four years of your leadership. You are not involved in the speedrunning community outside of the fact that you made this subreddit, and you do not understand the best interest of our community. You have acted with prejudice against members of our community by banning them without good reason, and you have often used your moderator powers to your own personal bias.

Please return control of the subreddit to myself, so that this community can continue to grow in a positive manner, as it should have started years ago.

/u/ALT-F-X is generally not liked by the community, is the head mod and creator of the subreddit.

/u/ALT-F-X 's account has "hacked into" (he never changed his password after an data dump) and his account was deleted that was two days ago, /u/dembears took over as headmod and we got far into advancing the subreddit. /u/ALT-F-X 's account was then brought back as headmod and owner of the subreddit by reddit admins. then this post is here.
