A reddit admin was caught abusing her position to set her tile cooldown to zero (note: cooldown is 5 minutes and 20 minutes for email verified and unverified users respectively) in order to erase an Orange Cat that was previously posted by Reddit on twitter. (Had to link to imgur because the admins placed a sitewide filter on that Twitter link)
This cartoon cat was the creation of Anton Dimitriev, a Ukrainian artist who is currently living in Kharkiv that is besieged by the Russian military as we speak.
His art station: https://www.artstation.com/mine_flood
His deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/anton-d/gallery
In addition, reddit permanently banned everyone who placed a tile in that area or tried to change her tiles to repair the Orange Cat. Merely placing pixels near the cat resulted in a personal ban, resulting in the bannings of users from /r/AnarchyChess as their subreddit logo bordered the Orange Cat.
People who tried asking about their bans had their posts removed as well
Reddit went a step further and manually deleted the accounts so that whenever you try to visit an account banned for placing a tile - you get this page.
Example of an account manually deleted - they last posted yesterday proving it is a real account. As you can see, this was an active and real account that was not only banned, but deleted (the sub he posted in has now gone private, so this is an archive).
Other people caught on, resulting in posts calling it out that reached the front page. Initially the admins tried to do damage control by setting a filter on /r/place to automatically remove any post that mentions the cheating or the Orange Cat that was overwritten. Another reddit admin responded saying admins have been cheating to "keep the canvas safe for everyone," a laughably poor excuse considering they didn't interfere with people drawing peepeees, the 4Chan logo, or swastikas over the German flag.

i mean no one died and that's kinda (srsly) disrespectful to George Floyd, but can you imagine reddit admins as cops!?
when you realize that's over half of cops you understand why "thin blue line" makes ppl so uncomfortable

Stole this from
@berzel but lightly edited it so it can't be removed for misgendering or assuming stuff about admins (which is why his comment was removed by an /r/OutofTheLoop J-slur). Thought it was probably a better idea to not even mention arrdrama, this thing will get 100x more traction if the story is that the crazy admins removed a harmless cat rather than it being an slapfight between badmins and a niche extremely online trolling community. Plus it'll be much less likely to be removed.
Some more receipts I really want:

Should add something at top or bottom giving credit to a redditor so many people can spam it without being accused of same account
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't think that's super necessary as long as we can get it spreading. In similar sitewide controversies like the Aimee Challenor thing you'd see the same copypastas spread around all over the place. I think that crediting a specific person would just lead to people stalking their account to try to discredit or dox them, I don't want to do that to them. At least I definitely don't want to be credited, I'm sure a sufficiently unhinged person would probably be able to dox me. I'll leave it up to
@berzel, if he wants I can credit his reddit account in the post.

Don't credit me. Just get the ball rolling. Rather not trace it all down to me, but rather give the appearance that users come across this information on their own and organically.

Yeah this was exactly my thought. Tracing it back to one person frames them as the leader, I think internet movements have way more potential to grow if they're seen as all of the little people banding together against a big bad corporation.

Seeing other redditors calling out redtaboo will make them want to jump on board. Also good to post this link on its own if anyone claims that the video is fake, since it's a clear admission.
