A mod was banned from Grathwrang's "stream and discord," for allegedly saying toxic things during KOTD/on Grathwrangs stream (twitter post)
Mod confirms that this is the reason, in fact the ban reason itself hilariously says it.
The moderation team issued a stickied comment in a thread started by a random observer, saying the moderation team at AOE2 attempts to excuse behavior, says they're giving him a warning -- and although he offered to resign for his blatant abuse of power, they have declined -- and they are "sure it won't happen again."
An hour later, after damage control messages from the moderation team, the mod in question can be seen in the reddit thread continuing to defend their actions as valid.
Grathwrang was unbanned a few hours later when the mod team realized how stupid the situation was, but does not yet appear to have a grasp on the fallout.
TLDR: AOE2 reddit moderator abuses mod privilege's. Water is wet.
