Who added him as a mod here?

This sub is definitely compromised.... I'm so disgusted.
archnihilist | 18 points
The concern trolling is out of hand, and this is what it looks like.
The investigation is moving along swimmingly, as more and more connections are being made every day.
Is it moving as fast as everyone would like? Maybe not, but this takes time and work.
So, rather than be a part of the concern trolling problem, just go ahead and start an excel spreadsheet and list every person, place, financial institutions of interest and keep learning about the players behind all of this because it goes straight to the top.
Good luck.

Stop derailing the sub. Just screaming "compromised"means nothing. Until the mods either destroy the sub or do something that is counter our goals there is no reason to believe they've been compromised. Until then I'm going to consider anyone doing this a shill and/or a retard 6th grader

AATA is a KNOWN shill. Known to derail threads and subs like this. Google his name. It's all there.

Very odd behavior. /u/pixelbot can explain!

Not calling PixelBot a disinfo agent but i've contributed to this cause (check my history even if it's only 3 days) so if it's worth anything... I can be 99% sure this sub has not yet been compromised. This does not mean it won't be compromised in the future. Mods have taken measures to prevent this sub from becoming compromised and countermeasures are in place if this sub does look more and more suspicious. But to those of us investigating we do not think this sub has been 100% compromised yet. Please stop spreading disinfo and especially from /u/pixelbot

The mods keeping adding new mods, and when asked why, they just lock the threads and avoid answering what's going on.

No there deleting theit own accounts and refreshing wth new ones to make doxxing them extremely difficult.

He was involved in mod-abuse scandals in r/conspiracy and r/wikileaks just a couple weeks ago.

Then who the fuck are all of these other people who have been added to the mod team? I literally just made this new throwaway (now my 4th one) but on my previous 3 throwaways, I had contributed a lot of insight, made many posts making the top page, and had many highly upvoted comments. Never once was I asked about being a mod. So who the fuck are all of these new people? AATA is not the only one - he's just the only one we have some evidence on based on his mod history.

It's time to find somewhere else to go guys. I had to go to /pol/ after this happened in r/wikileaks.
archnihilist | -7 points
How is the existence of this mod affecting you or the investigation?
You are an obvious concern troll if you can't answer this question satisfactorily, and I'm pointing it out to people so they know what it looks like.
CallThemRussians | 10 points
And the new tactic, call everyone concern trolls who brings it up. This is literally the same thing that happened in r/wikileaks several weeks ago. It's even the same moderators that were assigned to the takeover of that sub.
The suspicion is that they are there to curb us from getting too close to critical pieces of the investigation. For example, the disappearance of Julian Assange. Myself and many others were trying to piece everything together between his internet being cut, the situation at the air port, the cross Atlantic flight, and how there hasn't been the slightest attempt at a proof of life. This moderator specifically was one of the mods shutting down ANY discussion and deleting the threads. Then when called out, banned us.
I was a regular contributor up until that point and have read tens of thousands of emails personally. This isn't concern trolling, this is a legitimate concern. I want to get to the bottom of this ring more than anything else, but this is a valid issue that needs to be addressed.
I personally witnessed the takeover of r/wikileaks and haven't been back since, on any of my accounts.
I could just as easily call you a troll for doing the same and derailing a thread that is curious about the questionable mod activity, but that gets us nowhere.

FINAL EDIT: See this post . I'm now locking this. Thank you everyone.
EDIT UPDATE UPDATE: He has been removed from the mods because of valid concerned about his connections to /r/wikileaks . The mod team here has always been paranoid about the events at Wikileaks and /r/wikileaks. We apologize that we were only recently aware of /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway 's status over there (thanks everyone who brought our attention to this last night). We wanted to address this with /u/pizzathrowaway777 in private. He's come online right now (thankfully) and we've all agreed that the best course of action was to play it safe and demote /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway. Let's ALL HOPE that Wikileaks clarifies all of the concerns the people (including us) have as soon as possible
EDIT2: We are under a lot of pressure from Reddit admins regarding TOS violations, specifically personal private information. /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway has been VERY helpful with his experience in this regard. We certainly do wish we could benefit from him but we want to exercise every precaution. Including keeping ourselves safe from wikileaks until we know that the organization and DOM can be trusted again.
If you look at the moderator log you'll see that he hasn't really participated. He is a mod of /r/wikileaks and was made to be a mod 6 weeks ago during the alleged takeover of Wikileaks. All the evidence would show that Wikileaks is in someway compromised, and that /r/wikileaks is in some way compromised.
A couple of us on the mod team here at /r/pizzagate have been made aware of /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway and his connection to /r/wikileaks recently. Of course everyone is right to be concerned that wikileaks is compromised right now.
We cannot address the issue until /u/pizzathrowaway777 comes back online. We were hoping to address the issue of this ONE moderator with him and get /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway demoted or removed (he hasn't been contributing to mod duties anyways, which is fine he looks to be spread quite thing).
So for now, hope that /u/pizzathrowaway777 comes online soon as you've not started the clock! It's just a race between him and /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway (assuming /u/AssuredlyAThrowaway is actually nefarious and not just tainted by his association with the coup over at /r/wikileaks 3 weeks ago).

Hello there, can you explain to me how he became a mod of this sub? Who approved it?
AssuredlyAThrowAway | -5 points
This hurts me, but I underatand the decision; I was added to /r/wikileaks to ensure transparency from the mod team and have worked tirelessly to ensure that the sub was free from nefarious influence.
I really wish I had been given a chance to at least defend myself before I was removed.
Exec99 | 5 points
ensure transparency from the mod team and have worked tirelessly to ensure that the sub was free from nefarious influence.
Lmao
conspExec | 0 points
I don't doubt him/her. Check his/her posting history. He/she's a positive influence for Reddit. I'm glad he/she understands the decision and appreciate his/her work for this Reddit. I hope after this mess gets resolved he/she will be re-modded. This is just the best step to take in light of all of these news posts trying to derail positive contribution to the case by claiming this subreddit is compromised.

google his name. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. No fucking thanks.
AssuredlyAThrowAway | 2 points
Actually those google results are designed to make it look as if attacks against my ideological purview are really two sided drama; I urge all of you to read between the lines and take notice of this obvious concern trolling.
Even if I never rejoin this team, you all owe it to yourselves not to fall victim to this kind of malicious, and vapid, statement.
AssuredlyAThrowAway | -2 points
Indeed, I will most likely accept if the position is reoffered but I am certainly frustrated that concern trolls were able to drive a mod off this team.
Its a very important subject, and mod teams are inflitrated far easier than one would imagine (hint, hint ; what just went down here).
ned_harriman | 2 points
If you have evidence to support your claim, please bring it forward and present it to the entire sub in it's own post, as we all need to see it. We will even sticky it for you. Otherwise you are contributing to division in this subreddit, not working to correct it. Which is exactly why we decided to remove your privileges, it was not meant to be seen as a conviction of guilt, but as a way to quell subversive activities within this sub.
AssuredlyAThrowAway | -4 points
Thats exactly what I do in my capcity as a moderator; you just chased a transperency advocate from the mod team here.
Its quite frustrating.

Yea that was someone concern trolling from /r/topmindsofreddit.
Again, thanks for chasing a long standing transparency advocate from this mod team.

Most google results are from sunredditdrama, drama, and topmi dsofreddit ; the very concern trolls who would do anything to undermine the work of a moderator transperency advocate. Go listen to lush future #10 if you want to hear a real interview with me.

How did you get to become a mod of over 21 subs? Who invited you to mod r/pizzagate?
AssuredlyAThrowAway | 2 points
Ive been on this site since it was a three person operation run out of a small apartment in medford mass (I worked at a pizza place where three scraggly looking kids used to come for dinner in Davis square a few times per week.)
Obviously I identified more with the one kid out of the three who really seemed to be an ideological Kantian of sorts, always talking about how we as a society had to engender the free flow of information. A maxim that has stuck with me throughout my life now that I think about it.
Anyway, so I lost touch with those guys after they moved to brooklyn and eventually that kid ended up in a "fired" shirt, lamenting reddit's sale to codne nasty.
So, the years keep coming, and I get older, make new friends, start grad school, become disabled, and end up at home due to that disability; however, through all of that I was still using reddit (albeit under a different handle).
Then, one day, I decided it was a good idea to start a war with alexis and erik martin over their IRL connections to a certain group of mods. When that battle ended, most of my accounts were shadowbanned and I ended up with my current throwaway account.
To that end, I have spent thw last 5 years acting mostly as a moderator transperency advocate; encouraging the use of gol1dfish's tools along with vigilent community oversight as a mechanism to ward off nefarious malfeasance.
Eventually, I uncovered that alexis ohanian had started a PR firm called "antique jetpack" and was consulting for people like startfor. I have been attempting to uncover more about that organization for the past few years.
Anyway, I was asked to mod pizzagate by the top mod, who told me he was new to reddit and wondered if I could assist with helping him protect the subreddit from a potential ban.
As he predicted, we were contacted by the admins about a week later with regards to content on the subreddit, and I was tasked with ensuring we complied with those admin directives in order to aave the sub.
So yea, apologies if this was disjointed im on mobile and its hard to proof read; at the end of the day, Ive been on reddit for a long time, very much value moderator transperency, and have made some enemies as a result. The favorite tactic of those enemies happens to be sewing discord between myself and communities I moderate.
I suppose I should be used to it after all these years, but it is still frustrating nonetheless to be taken off a mod team due to the malicious actions of a few concern trolls.
Thats reddit I guess though.
PizzaThrowaway777777 | -8 points
We've made a huge concession here in my mind. The ridiculous bullshit about this sub being compromised is going to end from here out unless you have proof. If you don't want to be productive then get the fuck out.
IncreasinglyAlarmed | 33 points | Nov 18 2016 18:56:44
This person should not be modded here, Jesus Christ, absolutely compromised.
He's a reddit anti-celebrity he should be nowhere near this, consider this subreddit completely infiltrated.
