This post received a score of 417 with an 80% upvote rate, and clearly had the support of the community behind it. This was not a rash post of a sole developer, but rather had the support of the staff of various developer groups.

These moderators were entrusted to keep the community safe, but instead they attempted cover up the issue. Some members of the staff did not want the community to be made aware at all. Because of this censorship, I will no longer be associated with the /r/3dshacks subreddit or IRC until there is a change in leadership.

Additionally, when one of the other moderators (dubyadud) contacted me shortly after this message went up to try and get me to remove it, they defended the child predator's actions. + title: On April 24 2017, at approximately 5:00pm EST, the head moderators (s_99, LOCAP, and Clozure) of the popular subreddit /r/3dshacks censored a post exposing a child predator in the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch hacking communities.
