MODERATORS
 

So moderators/admins, I am the founder and moderator of c/politics. For context, I hired a moderator who I will not name, but he is controversial with users for his views and demand he be remove. I ignored them and continued with my day, then later I received this message from him.

Is he impersonating an admin to try to get us to remove the user as I don't see an admin on his name and his account was created 7 days ago. Just asking if you guys heard of him.

Thanks, yeah just an impersonator trying to get me to remove an important mod.

By the way, you should use @ instead of /u/ to refer to users.

i know why you folk are against it, but it does work as a link (obviously): /u/[email protected]

If you go to their profile they will have a red A next to their name if they are a admin.

That dude has none.

Admin list on the homepage sidebar is "the" system admin list. These are the only ones with actual admin permissions.
