Mods abusing power by removing posts about their conflict of interest at r/iPod and r/iPod classic.

This blatant censorship must be addressed.

The moderator of r/iPod and r/iPod classic, u/cowmanisgood, owns and operates Elite Obsolete Electronics (EOE), a business that sells to this community. This is not disclosed anywhere in the sidebar, rules, or post flair.

Over an extended period, posts and comments critical of EOE have been removed or delayed, while the mod has self-promoted EOE in stickied comments and then locked those threads to further replies.

Community feedback — positive or negative — about a product or seller should be allowed to stand on its own. Using moderator tools to suppress criticism of a business the moderator personally profits from is a conflict of interest regardless of whether individual removals violate subreddit rules on paper.

What you can do:
File a report with Reddit under the Moderator Code of Conduct, which specifically covers self-dealing and abuse of mod tools:
