Perhaps that's a good thing in some ways. The communities with only a very light-touch moderation to get rid of spam are often the most enjoyable, where you can speak relatively freely without the looming threat of some overbearing mod censoring and banning you because they don't like your opinion.

I'm amazed he was hired in the first place, they must not have bothered to do any background checks at all.
I think it revealed a lot ideologically about how Reddit operates, in particular this likely explains some of the more controversial subreddit bans in recent years.

I have no doubt that there are hundreds of Challenors who are "working" as Reddit mods. "Doreen", the /r/antiwork head mod who got embarrassed on national television, <https://mashable.com/article/antiwork-subreddit-fox-news-int...> is merely a famous example.
Happy to share, but honestly I don't specifically remember what they block, it was just anything that annoyed me. I've had them in place for quite a while and the random IDs don't give any clue, although I did leave comments for some and others are self-explanatory.
Looking at my list I'm unsure why I have some of what I do in there. I guess just experiment and see if anything is improved.
Sorry for the lack of code formatting - didn't want to use a pastebin since it may not persevere.
