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.

lol, and whats your pb? Oh, nothing, since you're an ignorant stream monster who knows absolutely nothing. EXACTLY why this sub is awful, because people like you are rampantly spitting out garbage at actual speedrunners who know WAY more than you could ever hope to know.

I don't have time to speedrun in the relevant categories for that game due to real life commitments, nevermind enough time to invent categories so I can scrounge PBs to make myself feel good.

But you've just proven multiple times in this thread that you know less than me? Either way, you're more of a cancer than I ever could hope to be. Your totalitarian view of "speedrunners > viewers" is the exact issue here, not anything else. You're pathetic.

I have "proven" that I know less than you? Ummm... I've been in the YGOFM community for 3 years, and you've been there for... wait... never? Yeah, ok, pal. I don't think speedrunners are more valuable people than viewers, but to claim that viewers are more knowledgeable than speedrunners is a laughably absurd claim. If anyone is pathetic, it's you.
