Ok, this piqued my curiosity a little.
When KeyserSosa is removed, that leaves BritishEnglishPolice as top mod for r/politics.
He also happens to be the top mod for r/UkPolitics, which is a bit more expected, going by his username, so I checked, his account is 14 years old and he mods 149 subs.
Loads of heavy hitters, like r/worldnews, r/entertainment, r/doesanyoneelse. He's either top mod, or below u/maxwellhill, who is rumoured to be Ghislaine Maxwell.
He's active, as far as I can see, though I've only done a basic sweep for a few minutes.
He's sus as fuck. He's far above the likes of Merari in the subs they both mod.
I know one of the reasons r/ukpolitics didn't go dark is because that's where the Aimee Challenor shit started, and one of the mods who is a frequent poster said they were worried that an admin they had on the mod team was looking for an excuse to boot the mods and take over the sub, and they didn't want to take chances. This was them trying to preserve their little corner, not draw attention. There's been mod churn, and drama due to this tension since that whole thing went down, but it's been kept behind the scenes, pretty much.
Does anyone know anything about this BritishEnglishPolice guy? Admin or just powermod, do you think?
