Hey ex-mod. So we all know this guy goes way fucking overboard (deleting and autosaging loli threads and permanently banning posters for being "idiot pedophiles", banning people on /pol/ for saying "nigger", autosaging threads he dislikes on /co/, autosaging threads about manga like To Love Ru). Has he ever been reprimanded? People on halfchan were putting up a document against him consisting of all of his crazy shit.

top kek, I've been banned like ten times by him on /b/ for making bait threads related to pedophilia.

You really shouldn't focus on redwood.
The only reason you use his name is because it's the only name you know. Do you not remember the leaked list from #janiteam of everyone? There were 50+ people on that list and that was before the most recent Janidrive.
Redwood was one name who just happened to also be a tripfag, but it doesn't mean he's responsible for every bad thing that happens to you on every board.
Besides, he's in the military now. I really doubt he's got the time to hang out on 4chan.

Interesting to know he joined the military, but that doesn't necessarily mean he stopped modding.

It's been going on even since the supposed SJW takeover in September and it's no more frequent now than it was in the past, making me think it was almost certainly him.
As an aside, I should note that I was never banned until Redwood was promoted and I had been posting since 2009.

He's also an insufferable fuckstick.
Redwood is actually a fairly nice guy. A lot of what he does is because he has to. The only other option, of course, is to quit or rebel and get fired.
The rules are the rules, but they're also subject to moot's personal decisions. Not everything moot says gets a sticky and notification. For example, getting rid of NEET on /jp/. No announcement was made, moot just said to the /jp/ janitors, "Get rid of it."
Janitors don't act alone. Would it surprise you to know that /jp/ was completely wiped of all posts twice … WITH MOOT'S BLESSING?
Don't let moot fool you. He acts all ignorant and "it was a rogue! he done goofed!" but it wasn't.
MQr wasn't fired. He stayed on staff for a long time while /q/ demanded his head on a pike. Nobody knew who the guy was, though, so no doxx could be done. Going by shit he said on /q/, he was an older gentleman from New Orleans. I'm pretty sure he was always drunk, too.

I always had a sneaking suspicion that moot ran 4chan in kikemode, pulling the strings and letting his staff take the heat, but Redwood's actions don't seem like that. I think that his pedophilia and nigger bans are issued because he feels like it, and that he gets away with it because he's moot's friend.

>How oldIn his 40s, I believe. Old enough to have a 14 year old daughter and a law degree. Although he was a rare one. In general, the janiteam is comprised of 18-20 year old NEETs.

He put a vocaroo once on janiteam and he has this smooth fuckin' southern drawl and a big ass beard. He was a really good guy and didn't take anything said about him on /q/ personally, so it's all good. He's one of the few I miss from those days. We don't know why he was fired/quit/whatever.

>>423OP here, that wasn't my ban. I really only posted on /a/, /vp/, /tv/, and /vg/, and I was nowhere near as active as some of the other posters.
If anything I tried to start conversations that would get off-topic threads back on track after shitposting and I still felt Redwood's wrath (I should note that I started avoiding /co/ specifically after his mod status became known which is why I didn't include it in the above list). Even in the /a/ loli threads, I reported the dumb "cunny" shit/3D/CP shitposting and tried to get people to talk about the actual characters. Sadly, even when we had a fun, entirely on-topic, SFW thread going, we'd get autosaged or deleted… usually right around when Redwood started posting with his trip elsewhere on the boards.
Looking back, we had a pretty cool mod who came in this past spring and actually posted in one of those loli threads, deleted all the shitposts, and said "I like you guys, but if you post 3D I WILL ban you." I miss that mod, kept the threads moderated, on-topic, but still on the site. Wonder if that guy frequents here. Any former mods know who that might have been? Was it the guy moot kicked?
Also, is there a deletion log for mods that shows who deleted/autosaged what thread? Or is that stuff just as much of a mystery to the staff as it is to normal users?

Whoever it is that's watching /co/ is pretty vigilant, there's at least one other SJW watching over it.
Pretty much every time I see a thread with its discussion leaning in a /pol/ sort of direction (GamerGate or whatever), it gets nuked.
I can see the point of watching /co/ closely, since it breeds cancer like you wouldn't believe. But this sort of thing stinks of personal bias or mandate from on high.
Although I do support deleting general threads for shows when they're not airing.
