It was always quite clear that '''Gladiux''' was a dick. There is no going around it. From the very beginning of the server, if someone was to be leading the charge against whichever '''moederator''' happened to slip up at the time, it was '''Gladiux''', with '''Gio''' by his side, hurling insults and aggressively making fun of them until they willfully left on their own. For a long time, this behavior was tolerated, while clearly toxic, it was always directed at people the members of the server took issue with anyways, and as pointlessly mean those comments were in retrospect, at the time, it wasn't taken as an issue. But when the mod drama died down and '''Gladiux''' had to find a new target, things turned for the worse for him.

February 9  
As mentioned previously, by this point in time, the server was, for the most part, dedicated only to conversations between '''Sam''' and '''Kae''', who have
'''Gladiux''' was not a fan of this
How funny is it being the butt of the joke? Not much, according to '''Sam''', who had gotten quite annoyed by '''Gladiux''''s behavior by then
 
As it was obvious that the joke was being taken too far
to the point where new users were turned away from the server solely because of his presence
'''Walter''', deciding not to cause any drama, God knows there had already been far too much in the past of this server, politely asked for him to stop and tone it down a notch
as it was obvious the new users started to fucking hate us
 
Of course, we all know where this conversation actually led to. Had he listened to it, there would have been no point in writing this section.
 
On February 9, after '''Sam''' had repeatedly been kicked out, '''Walter''' received DMs from both him and '''Kae''' asking for '''Gladiux''''s removal. In the back of his mind, '''Walter''' had already considered '''Gladiux''' to be
 
The only issue was that, although '''Walter''' was the server '''Owner''' at the time, '''Gladiux''' was higher in the '''r/69MoeLester420''' hierarchy. This meant that even if '''Walter''' had stripped '''Gladiux''' of all his mod duties on the server, nothing stopped him from doing the same to '''Walter''' on the subreddit. And to a Reddit mod, there is nothing more terrifying than that. The mods needed divine intervention, and thankfully, '''Moe''' was ready to help. While the conversation on the server continued as normally, behind the scenes, in the shadows, a conspiracy was starting to form and be taken into action. On the subreddit, both '''Gladiux''' and '''Gio''', his loyal partner in crime, got all their moderating permissions taken away. They did not get completely demodded, however, allowing them to keep their place in the mod hierarchy should things change in the future. On the server, meanwhile, '''Walter''' removed their '''moewner''' roles, before finally announcing it to the server. It was the perfect crime.
 
It wasn't long before '''Gladiux''' had realized what had happened. The response was pretty much what we had expected. The first thing he mentioned was how he wanted to demod '''Walter''', thankfully, however, '''Moe''' had made sure that would not be possible. '''Gio''' immediately started complaining about how he was punished for nothing, even though the reason for him losing the '''moewner''' role was the unstopping encouragement of '''Gladiux''''s behavior at every turn, which all active members of the server could attest to. While he wasn't the one dealing out time-outs and kicks, not only had he done nothing to stop it, but actively cheered it on. '''Gladiux''' got kicked out from the server by '''Kae''', while '''Gio''' remained disgraced, from now on as '''moederator''' instead of '''moewner'''.
 
Here's the funny part. Do you notice those four 👆 reactions under the message? People were approving massively of this decision, even though '''Gladiux''''s behavior was like this since the very beginning of the server. It's just that no one had spoken up about it. We all wanted him gone but were afraid to tell him all this time for whatever reason. To avoid drama, to not have us kicked out from the subreddit, or most likely, not knowing how much the others on the server shared our feelings about him. It wasn't before we were certain there was a significant amount of people that hated him that we even thought about removing his role. And it all goes back to that at the time harmless decision to give him the '''moewner''' role all those months back. He was granted authority he never deserved and asserted it through his aggressive behavior during the past few months. No one could have demodded him on their own, it was only when the people of the server united that anything could have been done.
