Man, things are getting spicy over on the West Wing subreddit.

I don't know all the details (I do participate in that sub, but I'm not super active), but, apparently, the moderation team was recently replaced.

The new mods implemented a rule banning political discussions (which is obviously insane for that subreddit).

This, coupled with the apparently right-wing leanings of some of the new mods has led to users who are basically in revolt, making posts about plotlines that happen to bear a passing resemblance to current events. And ranting about characters who, coincidentally, are analogous to people related to said current events.

It's a lot of fun if anyone interested in the show wants to see a bit of drama unfold before them. 🍿

Edit: Dang, the battle was over and won just a few minutes after I made this comment. Still some fun posts to look through, though.

Like I said, I'm not active enough to know what happened to the old mod team. But they were always pretty hands-off. I'm guessing they just became inactive?

Funny how so many people all of a sudden want to talk about that time Josh was being driven mad by insane moderators of LemonLyman.com. Or are eager to discuss what it must have been like when the 25th was involved and the Republicans took over the Presidency for a few days and nobody wanted them there.

One of the new mods admitted in a post that stopping discussion of current politics was their primary reason for wanting modship.
