We have rescued this sub.
As some of you may be aware that ~4 months ago the creator of this subreddit was suspended for reasons that probably have nothing to do with /r/torontothenandnow I have no idea.
At this point when a subreddit is unmoderated anyone can apply to be a moderator. A spam nest took it over.
I reported this to the fine folks at /r/TheseFuckingAccounts so at least the spammers could be added to a block list or something. They actually suggested that I head over to /r/redditrequest and petition to have it resurrected and the bots booted off.
This has finally happened! A number of people spent time helping get this back to where it should be. Thanks to you all.
I'd like to find another couple of human mods so this is less likely to happen again.
