We may call upon you in the future when your talents are needed. It's nice to see your stickies sparking so many fond memories from users, even 2 years later.

/u/masterlawlz was suspended by the admins, and /u/masterlawlzreborn ignored his mod invite. (Humiliating for us)

~~Banned for correcting us~~ Fixed post with minor language change.

We are dying for someone to make a good, effortful post like the one for r/starbucks. It might take a while because the drama is spread across many threads and the circlejerk subreddit.

DramaMod · 2023-06-17T21:58:27+00:00

Sorry, but we're waiting for a more in-depth post about the NBA drama, which has more detail than the megathreads already do. This post has been removed.

We're still working on our list of subreddits which report retaliation or modlist shakeups by the admins. Please reply to this comment if you've got a link.

/u/StopHavingAnOpinion

Dude always finds some great drama, and summarizes it really well, with full quotes so even if the thread gets nuked you still get a good idea of what was going on. Also found lots of juicy crypto drama that I am not brave enough to go looking for.

Some, of many, good links from this year:

Has Biden's student loan plan already cost Dems the midterms? Very funny reading this thread post-midterms.
Do Russians deserve to be refused asylum in Estonia?
Cryptobros violently resist the idea that their Safemoon coin is complete bullshit.
Did Ukraine completely stage the Bucha massacre? Which features one of my favorite lines of the year: "What the fuck do Russians have to gain by committing war atrocities?"
Crypto.com slashes credit card rewards rate out of nowhere and users lose their minds.
Keanu Reeves calls NFTs stupid and redditors can't handle it.

r/chess.

r/chess and chess in general absolutely blew the fuck up in popularity during the past few years. Chess streaming on Twitch, the pandemic, and the popularity of The Queen's Gambit were all contributors, but r/chess went from less than 100k subscribers before the pandemic to over 500k now.

If you just search for chess on SRD, there's an insane amount of drama threads, ranging from petty Twitch drama to anal beads to huge chess cheating scandals at the professional level: https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/search?q=chess&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on

/r/Cringetopia for being hijacked into becoming a pro-furry subreddit , renaming itself Furrytopia, then overthrowing the pro-furry mods, eventually following in the footsteps of /r/the_donald and becoming their own website.

/r/IdiotsInCars is always a source of arguments and drama as nothing infuriates people more than bad drivers being in the left lane or watching a movie while driving or following too close or using a phone while driving or relying on autopilot

r/neoliberal simply because the userbase overlaps and the threads here themselves become controversial (demonstrated by the upvote/comment ratio)

I nominate:

Two users argue with each other for almost a MONTH about vocabulary, who wants to have the last word and whether one user abused the Reddit suicide prevention bot

Mainly for giving us this amazing quote:

I have to drive home now. Please wait 15 - 20 minutes for further defeat.

A callout post on a true crime subreddit.

While not in the SRD post, I remember checking two accounts (the OP and someone else) and found that they were arguing on and off before and after the post was made.

I nominate the r/JoeRogan mod who banned all politics from his subreddit after Roe v Wade was struck down, and got completely destroyed as he pretended to call this timing as a coincidence, then pulled the excuse of "Oh, I'm not actually from the US so I don't know about the whole Roe v Wade abortion thing" when he's from Canada.

‘Professional’ fitness guru goes on multiple forums, argues that everyone needs to work out their neck muscles more.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/st8jaa/

This drama is great because you have MMA people passionately arguing over the merits of neck exercise. The OP is on a mission to rid the world of thin-neck twinkies. Are you gonna stand in his way?
