Why I Removed a Mod – Please Read

Hey everyone, I understand and accept that I haven’t been the best owner. I was inactive for a long time, and I know a lot of you noticed, many even complained, and I don’t blame you. That being said, I now have more time to focus on this subreddit, and we’ve opened moderator applications to move forward.

There’s one thing I really want to clear up: I recently removed Sun as a mod. Whether you believe it or not, before I even got ownership of this subreddit, the previous owner had planned to remove him and warned me about past issues, saying he had caused a lot of drama and conflict with others. Some of you might not know this, but Sun was removed multiple times before and brought back after defending himself or making points.

But this time, things have gone too far. I’ve received a lot of complaints from members and even other mods, I won’t name names, about recent drama Sun has caused. I mean no disrespect, but he handled conflict immaturely and created unnecessary tension in the mod team. That’s why I made the final decision to demote him.

I understand this decision may upset some of you, especially since Sun is popular and has many friends here. But as the owner, I receive the most reports and concerns from both users and mods, and I have to act based on that.

To be fair, once I finish rebuilding the mod team, I plan to step down myself, to ensure everything feels balanced and not dictated by one person. I just ask for your understanding and cooperation. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I genuinely believe it’s what’s best for the future of this community.

Thank you for hearing me out.
