    Is u/spez a dick? Yes.

    Did he used to mod r/jailbait? Not really. This happened back when any mod could auto add any other user as a mod without them having to self-approve. IIRC he removed himself not long after a screenie was taken and became aware it had happened.

    Let’s not dilute his actual assholery with fake assholery.

      /u/spez used to moderate the jailbait subreddit, which if you don’t know was a subreddit for pedophiles where they would post photos of underage girls in swimsuits and their underwear. Got banned years ago.

          became the chosen “subreddit of the year” in the “Best of reddit” user poll in 2008, and at one point, making “jailbait” the second most common search term for the site

          According to Wikipedia 🙃
