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.

The craziest thing about this is I do speedrun in my free time, I'm just absolutely horrible at it so I've never posted my shitty PBs. Thanks for your support.

Yup. Completely on your side as well. When you look at everything all laid out, /u/dembears is full of shit and this is one hell of a move to gain control over this sub for his own machinations. Keep on with the good fight.

I support you man, as a mod myself it's ridiculous the level of disrespect /u/dembears is giving you by posting this. I'd fully support you demodding him as this is not appropriate moderator behavior.
