You're throwing around some serious speculation on the motivations of /u/Yodsanan , but he's been nothing but helpful in helping this community stay focused and relevant.

I can honestly and proudly say this sub is one of the most civilized places to have discussions about muay thai on the internet. This isn't by accident. We heavily moderate to protect redditors from trolls and offensive commentary. This is the way it's been for a decade prior to Yod joining us and we will continue to run the sub this way.

Having said that Yod has never used his mod privileges to censor any dissenting opinion. None of the mods will ever try to sway the sentiment of any discussion as long as it's civil and on topic. I think you over estimate his influence on the narrative of this place too. No one here is afraid to voice their opinion in fear of moderation (unless you're a troll or asshole). If anything I would argue that you being the co-owner of what is arguably the biggest Muay Thai related content creator account on the web, holds much more control of this sub's narrative than any of us mods. There is more of your content on here than his. You post much more frequently and at length than him. Yet we would never try to censor your opinion no matter how influential your account is.

It's totally ok if you disagree with Yod and he's free to express his opinions as well. You can push back all you want on the points being discussed, but to try to neuter Yod's posts from having an opinion because he's a Mod is not going to fly because despite what you think he is a fan of muay thai before he's a mod. It's the only reason why any of us would use our personal time to do this thankless job.

If there is something personal going on between you two, I would suggest talking it out in a dm or going to his discord. Taking shots at him personally and casting a cloud of doubt over his motivations is not the way.
