He went berserk after this dialog took place in private messages:

Millennial_Falcon: (private message to all mods due to concerns regarding shill activity)

me: (team reply to said private message with findings about suspected shill activity)

numbchuck: Quit pinging me for minor BS

me: That minor BS is called "moderation efforts", which is pretty much your job on here.

numbchuck: Fuck off, pedo

He then proceeded to remove random submissions, including some fairly important ones. @kevdude was fast enough to unmod and ban him before a more substantial damage could have been done.

He had been mostly inactive for about two weeks now, possibly being a ticking time-bomb.

Lessons learned:

  • Report suspicious mod behavior after the first questionable action. – This would be his first private message to me, my bad, guys.
  • Remove inactive mods from the mod team.

Since we're seeing hacking - is there any evidence his account was hacked? Second, is there a way to "undelete" posts through VOAT? I see some key ones in the "removed submissions."

No evidence of hacking so far. My opinion is that it's unlikely.

Unfortunately, Voat doesn't provide a way to undelete posts, so they need to be resubmitted manually one by one, preferably linking to the respective old submission that has been removed in the incident. Fortunately, the posts are not lost, they can be found in the Removed submissions log, and the original author will be able to access the source code of the post for a copypaste resubmission.
