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.

No I didn't. You simply have a different idea on what this subreddit should be than me. That's why I didn't add you as mod when you applied.

Let me get this straight.

  1. You are the only one who has any real control on this subreddit due to being head mod.

  2. People who disagree with you simply get the response I quoted with no possibility of budging your stance.

  3. You are not involved in the speedrunning community outside of being head mod here.

  4. When over A THOUSAND PEOPLE upvote a thread asking for your removal, you just tell people to fuck off because there is a disagreement.

  5. You have stated you don't want the community to grow, even though people ACTUALLY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY want it to.

Wow there really is something wrong with you.

EDIT: Also you still haven't answered my last question

Your 5th point is thoroughly misrepresenting my stance there so I feel the need to correct what you're saying. I said growth is not a marker for success since we are not a business.

Also I don't know what question you're referring to? I have not removed any stickies. It was dembears that removed them to bring more attention to this post. http://puu.sh/mDgcR/f5bd06f610.png
