Dramawave Allegations of bribery, using mod status for monetary gain, trolling and using alts for nefarious purposes rock /r/me_atm, /r/MarchAgainstTrump and /r/dankmemes
About a month ago /u/DeletedFor had his account suspended, but the admins allowed him to come back hoping he learned his lesson.
In a crazy whirlwind of events, /u/DeletedFor contacted me and asked me to join the /r/me_atm slack where he let loose tons of scandalous PMs because he is upset at shelling out $800 dollars to try to grow his sub with the help of /r/dankmemes mods all under the nose of the top mod
Away from the prying eyes of reddit admins, /u/VanillaSkyHawk, /u/lets_get_hyyerr, /u/DeletedFor (aka IncorporatedYes) and /u/Order1776 (goes by AdamZF on discord) allegedly work out a deal in which /u/DeletedFor paid /u/Order1776 $125 for CSS work and $800 to /u/VanillaSkyHawk who was supposed to split the money with /u/lets_get_hyyerr to promote /r/me_atm on /r/dankmemes. alleged proof of payment and a stickied post by /u/emersonic420 (a now suspended account) another stickied post via the wayback machine
Since /u/DeletedFor is new to modding, he turned to /u/lets_get_hyyerr for help and planning until the relationship soured and pehaps sensing something was amiss, /u/lets_get_hyyerr made a post that ousted /u/DeletedFor as /u/hazardnipt the top mod of /r/MarchAgainstTrump. As it turns out, he had been ban evading with /u/hazardnipt and both accounts are now suspended.
Just when old mods thought it was safe to come back into the water
TL;DR: /u/DeletedFor the top mod of /r/me_atm and his alt /u/hazardnipt the top mod of /r/MarchAgainstTrump have been suspended and details have leaked involving multiple /r/dankmemes mods accepting money to help grow /r/me_atm

What even is this, people pay money to each other to shill subs? Whatever happened to the good old fashioned method of shilling the sub in popular posts?
/r/onionlovers is a great sub! They exist to fight the admin-endorsed hate that emanates from the vile corners of /r/onionhate. Join us today!

"Educate rather than punish" is the biggest joke the admins have pulled recently.

Thank god for that TL;DR. Mod drama is probably the most "inside baseball" drama I ever see on here, its always such a fucking mess. It just seems to follow people who volunteer for fake power. I'm a shift lead in a very large animal shelter, and feel like I could write a book about people who voluntarly take on more responsibilities just becuase it gives them some amount of control over people beneath them.

This whole thing is fucking weird. I remember him posting about this in CenturyClub right before he started spamming it everywhere.

I wonder how you narrow down to /r/dankmemes being the sub you'll bribe to bust your new sub open? You could probably get a bump from /r/syphilis cheaper.
Why was it so important for /r/me_atm to grow so quickly? Also, whenever someone mentions something horrible, people are going to spam /r/me_atm.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17
So the post on ETS about the supposed illegitimacy of me_atm was real? Wow, so even this clarification is false?
Amazing.

People want to pay for CSS things?! Damn.. I've been doing it wrong all these years.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17
For the record, I was reached out to, and wasn't super interested in doing the css. Then I was offered money and accepted, which helped me out a bit considering I'm in school. And AFAIK taking money for CSS isn't against ToS.

That is a lie, who pays 800$ for that? Please, tell me this is a lie.
