It was kind of spur of the moment to make it. I saw a need and made it happen! I don’t generally try to do that, but after it started actually growing I got obsessed and defensive about it. I can’t tell you how crazy agitated I got about spammers, advertisers, pluggers, and bots. I regularly told people off. It was always “quit your bullshit, don’t even try to act like you’re not here for the giant audience visibility on our relatively low post count” and people would call me a tyrant because I shut the door on them trying to abuse it. I’m literally the reason r/subredditdrama was born. I don’t want any of that anymore and I lucked out having found a good guy to leave in charge a good few months before I was banned. It’s so hard to find the right guy who’s not just clamoring for power.
Sorry to hear, must have felt bad after growing that community.
