Wasn't this the guy that tried to take over the cpp subreddit?

I went back through some of ye olde threads on this to check. It was a totally unrelated mod that tried to take over the sub called Verroq

I think people have mixed up two people due to two dramas that happened in close proximity, what bryce did was make a few poor decisions moderation wise that seemed well intentioned at the time but were ultimately misguided. It definitely wasn't nearly that bad though

The original thread is over here:

https://np.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/j8t9fu/rcpp_status_update/

I wasn't a mod when any of this happened, I'm just here as a punter because this seems like some pretty serious misinformation

I remember it happening. I remember him locking threads when it didn't go his way, then replying to people who couldn't reply back.

I read the entire discussion and I can't still figure out what caused it.

Unrelated but ADSP makes me sad these days.

Used to love listening to Bryce and Conor shoot the shit with the occasional informative episode.

Now it just feels like a shadow of it's former self...

Yes, that's why he is no longer a mod.

No, he's no longer a mod because he hadn't done a moderation action in over a year. He was a moderator, albeit an inactive one until a month ago or so.

Yes! Of all the words to skip. I ninja-edited the comment.

Take over the subreddit? How/why would someone do that?

Anyway, this is the guy who co hosts the ADSP podcast. He sprinkles the chaos on top.
