Is that true? Holy moly!
Consensus: FALSE
Your source admits Spez was a jailbait mod. MAYBE he was made one without knowing, but he DEFINITELY could have removed himself and didn’t.
Spez was a jailbait mod for years. That’s a fact.
btw I actually might be helping you attack him better
Instead of a spurious claim he actively managed a pedo sub—
—a more definite claim he permitted a pedo sub to remain on his site? (Assuming he was aware of the sub, which I bet you could find indications of)
He has repeatedly permitted awful subs (jailbait, altright, the_donald, incels, braincels, etc) to remain on the site far longer than reasonable. Once these subs generated too much negative press they would finally be banned.
lol I doxxed one of the_donald mods to the FBI after Jan 6th, they used to advertise and gloat about a bunch of their "business" stuff on the site, and registered their LLC to their home address. Clicked on a link they shared, highighted and searched the LLC on Google, clicked on registered address and streetview and there's a shitty car plastered in Trump stickers in the driveway. Never doxxed them anywhere publicly or did anything bad with their addy until I had a legit purpose for it.
Fucking legend.
It amazes me how plain idiotic people can be a out the information they hand out.
Tldr: fuck executives
I have insomnia and Recently I was rudely awoken at around 2am by a VERY loud jet engine.
Now my county does have an airport, but it's nowhere near me, and it's for small aircraft only. There's a military base that uses a huge section of the state for training, but that's almost exclusively in the daylight, or for a few hours after it gets dark, and they never get this close.
Well, I pulled up flightradar, and sure enough a small personal jet took offa out 10 minutes ago, and while their flight plan should have had them mucb higher, they were veryclose to the ground. I called the sheriff non emergency line to complain, since it was 2 IN THE FUCKING MORNING and apparently they had already recieved a number of calls from people between me and the airport.
Then I looked up the company that owns the jet. It's a smallish company that does aero things, and pulls in tons of money every year. Public, private, and military contracting from what I understood, supplying parts or something like that.
Their board of directors is listed on their website along with corporate HQ. Their board of directors also ALL use LinkedIn, with their work addresses, emails, PERSONAL email addresses for quite a few, and one even had some personal mail visible to anyone who stops by their profile picture. Almost all had other social media connected. LinkedIn was also helpful in identifying who was probably flying the jet, too, since he really likes talking about his pilot license.
Social media confirms a few were active within the last hour, and in my state.
With this info, the flight plan, the LinkedIn info, and a little guesswork, I was able to narrow down the occupants of the jet to 5 people, BCCd all their work and personal emails, as well as the general company email, with a 5 paragraph email about proper etiquette when flying over populated areas, as well as FAA laws they were breaking by flying so low, a rather sleep deprived rant about how they're assholes who think the world should come to a halt for them, letting them know local sheriff department is investigating (lol no the fuck they aren't who cares if a few people got woken up), and that I am reporting their violations to the FAA. And ended it with a request to follow proper altitude guides or flying at a more reasonable hour.
And around 5am I was finally able to sleep for all of one hour.
When I woke up it dawned on me that I had gotten annoyed by a jet, tracked down the occupants, and sent them an angry personal email, found out their home/work addresses, and could do much more damage if I wanted, all without leaving the comfort of my bed.
I immediately started scrubbing all my online profiles... I still probably talk too much about the area I live in.
Don't forget about beating women, a subreddit when user shared pictures of women victims of domestic violence to their amusement.

Guess asking for login work because I don't want to bother to watch that.
Maybe he was made one without him knowing…
He could have removed himself immediately upon noticing…
Source for the fact he noticed?
Ewww I’m defending Spez
So either he was a jailbait mod or so bad at his job that he doesn't understand optics. Or both.
As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.
I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.
Fair point!
I'm pretty sure I remember spez making a special reddit award for the wierdo fuck that created jailbait.
Source?
Considering that Spez is the one who controls the mod logs, he could show that he was made a mod instead of invited/accepted and was inactive. I don’t have access to the evidence. Spez does.
Brushing up on the “proven ways Spez sux” file would surely provide more than enough back-pocket fodder to pull out when there’s a chance to drag him :)
I’m a stickler for stuff like this, e.g. someone complains about mythical reasons corporations or governments are against us and I wonder… why risk opponents being able to prove conspiracy theories wrong and distract from legitimately awful/criminal behavior! There’s so much of it!
He literally directly edited comments criticizing him to point to r/The_Donald mods(About 2014-2015-2016, this was news around that time).
Everything from that time period on that related subreddit has been scorched Earth removed from the net. So I'm not sure even Spez has a record of it. Hell. The Anderson Cooper bit about it is even gone.
I doubt law enforcement would allow records from r/jailbait to be scrubbed completely, especially mod logs and mod chats. That’s a source of evidence to build cases against predators, even years later.
Thanks
