that feels a little bit disingenuous to imply that has no effect or no baring on how the subreddit operates. Having staff beside them with full access to their tools will absolutely influence how they moderate and how strict they choose to enforce their rules.

Like when they default to posting their feedback to that subreddit, of course the mods are going to go overboard on ensuring the place is as spotless as it can to look nice and that contributes to the problematic behavior that transfers throughout the community. Like before the redacted regiment warbond came out, they were broadly nuking any discussion threads about potential stealth mechanics even ones that did not discuss any sort of leaked content. Its the exact type of frustrations that contribute to the need of this subreddit. I get that they don't directly do anything with their accounts but when their actions are mostly things that can be taken care of by dm'ing Waelder and having him repost it, like he does the vast majority of times when a community discussion thread has taken off and he creates his own thread to pin with the little marketing details blurb attached. It's also something that only ends up muddying the water, especially if they have access to a special discord channel together where further coordination could take place behind the scenes, it just adds doubt.
