Welcome, everyone!
/r/AskHistorians has continued to grow and prosper despite the best attempts of the moderating team after another successful and insightful year, and we find ourselves at a point where it’s become appropriate to appoint a new cohort of overseers moderators to enforce our iron will help in the running of the Subreddit.
Please put your shackles hands together for our new moderators!
/u/commiespaceinvader, flaired in the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and Wehrmacht War Crimes. Rumoured to have built working replicas of the infamous Wunderwaffen in his shed.
/u/commodorecoco, flaired in Mesoamerica and Early Andes|Historical Linguistics. Whispers say Coco’s ancient scrolls hide the road to El Dorado. Satellite imaging says otherwise. But I prefer the whispers.
/u/RioAbajo, flaired in U.S. Southwest and Colonialism. Sources report that Rio has contacts in every library in the North American continent.
/u/sunagainstgold, flaired in Medieval & Earliest Modern Europe. According to ancient texts, contact with Sun can cure you of all historiographical ailments.
Their powers combined, these brave moderators will be a powerful force in advancing the plans of the Cabal keeping /r/AskHistorians well moderated, informative, and positive.
Commie, Coco, Rio and Sun: Welcome to the mod team! May your banhammers ever be shiny!
I don't like this increased amount of bourgeoisie mods profiting off the backs of the proletariat.
Historiker aller Länder vereinigt Euch!
And with this addition there's apparently another change: we will no longer be removing things, but crossing them out.
Welcome all :)
Thank you, AskHistorians community, for being worth the effort!
Ugh more petty potentates to prostrate ourselves to. You'll never get προσκύνησις out of me! Never I tell you! I am not just a flair, I am a free man!
To paraphrase David Niven:
They'll never make me
an officera mod. I don't want the responsibility
Welcome as mods! Here's to hoping this will stay the best sub on reddit!
I salute our new overlords!
Suhhhh dudes
