As an outsider, I don't see a glaring problem with demanding links be explained. The Q larp subs are full of innuendo, contextless links, and sentence fragments which the regulars will insult you for not understanding if you deign yourself to ask what it means. Pizzagate subs are like that too, so I block them, but fighting it seems worthwhile.
That said, fighting it by removing posts is distasteful. Though calling him a "reddit powermod" is very impolite. Instead of deletions, they could use tags or labels or minor edits or whatever facility is available to mods to mark low-quality posts, and avoid this fight. Train the users to recognize quality, and then voating up and down will take care of the problem.
EDIT You can argue with words instead of just down votes, you know.
And only two people in that thread have downvote powers and are throwing them around liberally. I wwot dowvote you here but others might. It doesn't matter in anon subs.

I agree but the default is to shit on users, tell them they are stupid and irrelevant and dismiss anyone who complains as a shill.
Yes, Crensch is extremely abrasive, and when he flips on you he's rude and insulting. Still, I consider it nasty to compare him to actual payrolled shills that populate Reddit. He uses his words to pull out a point, when I've seen him commenting in his long style, even if his points are unimportant and so brittle that he's always on the verge of breaking. He shits, but he's also screaming purposefully at the same time, and his goal is in ideas rather than just hazing.
On the whole, I guess appreciate the comments I've seen from him. Maybe that means I've already gone 1488 gas the kikes race war now, or maybe it means I don't pay attention to him because he's tedious to read. There are worse users, like the ones moderating that days-old "patriots" subverse who all came from Reddit.

There is nothing wrong with him as user. There is plenty wrong with him as an owner who has to manage a sub impartially.
