Look, I'm trying to answer as fast as I can here.

• Never did I try to change the rules for this sub. Where?

• The modship was an oversight on my part, he didn't ask for it but I offered it to him for the years of hard work that he's helped me out IRL. It's an online community but since Reddit sponsored DragCon I've been dealing with things in person since then. He doesn't post on here but you best believe he's been helping keep things afloat in the frontlines. Modship wasn't the best answer, and for that I apologize.

• I'm addressing the money issue here first (most important) but we'll be doing a revamp of our modteam shortly. It can't happen overnight.

• I was asleep when /u/mansonfamily demodded him. I woke up to the news, I wanted to think things through before I did anything rash (same with demodding /u/saintrorem). I had a talk with manson after. The mods and I wanted to wait it out but he took it upon himself to demod him.

• I'm not trying to ignore anyone, I'm just one person and am trying to address people's concerns. Really.

• I'm not trying to become friends with any of the queens, really. I just wanted what I thought was best. It's loud and clear you guys disapprove. We'll learn from this and move on.
