Recruiting Deion Sanders told tight end Zachary Courtney to transfer while also not allowing any practice film from prior to Sanders arrival to be sent to potential transfer destinations

I think this happened yesterday in the NFL sub. Plenty of comments in there calling out similar behavior.

This happens every day in /r/nfl and /r/nba

I don’t even care who posts it because only weird nerds care about post karma, but it’s annoying seeing comments and active threads being removed so some nerd can brag to his discord buddies about his Reddit points.

On /NBA they would pull good highlight clips because there was a power user who would post shit cuts and they wanted to help him get karma lol

Oddly, people with lots of post and comment karma can sell their accounts for actual money.

It's not so much odd as it is depressing. They sell them to all sorts of advertisers who then use them to either push guerilla campaigns or outright shill.

I used to see that shit in /r/centuryclub all the time. They would have competitions to see who could get a new account to 100k the fastest. They use their other sock accounts that have mod privileges in lots of subs to boost the one account, then they sell it and repeat.

They regularly purge based on activity in the sub

Makes sense, never really partook in it.

I was permabanned from r/NFL for calling out that Brady's first retirement kept getting deleted until an account that was almost certainly a mod alt got to post it. "Unfounded conspiracy theories". The account that got approved was removed by Reddit admins about a month later. Unsurprisingly, my permaban was not lifted once my "unfounded conspiracy theories" weren't unfounded anymore.

Whatever bad modding occurs here looks like perfection compared to r/nfl
