You can consider your Reddit account permabanned too. Powermods will typically report any "backtalk" to the Reddit admins which basically will get you permabanned no matter your infraction history.l

Who knew that the powermods Spez spefifically appointed to the main subreddits would be power throating his boot so much they're shitting out his bootlaces?
This issue could be prevented, perhaps to have a voting ability you need to have a certain amount of karma, comments, posts, history, etc or a combination of the above attributes, then once a vote is called there's a secondary voting round where only a few randomly selected users get to vote. That would water down any flooding attempts.
Moderators should just stop being moderators
and give up the only semblance of power they have in their lives? That'll never fucking happen. You do realize Steve used these peoples' hunger for power specifically against them, right? They'll fall in line line like good little powermods.
There's scripts and bots that go in and automatically scrub your entire Reddit history, you don't need to do it manually.
Unless you purged your content before deleting you didn't really do much.
Or, they should have just purged the subreddits outright at the very start of the blackout before deleting the subreddit 1 week later. That would require them stepping down from their power, though, so they'd never do anything like that.
Lol yeah this is not what happens. If anything, it's the "pro-LGBT" would be the ones abusing this system to take over subreddit, and it's impossible to deny at this point. It was funny seeing Bardfinn fail at taking over subreddit in spectacular fashion once as the head mod managed to get his account back before it submitted the request. These mods would even spam CSEM using sock accounts then report the victim subreddit for being unmoderated. Subreddits would go into approved posting mode to defend against this. So no, you've pegged the wrong people that'd abuse such a system.
EDIT: source
I honestly don't see anything of value being lost. They can wall off into their own echochamber and the rest of us can communicate freely.
Or just silently purge all of the subreddit's content behind the cloak of the blackout before stepping down permanently or even outright deleting the subreddit.
