There is nothing wrong with hilarious being a mod, I think he/she is perfectly capable of carrying out the duties required. I've found hilarious to be nothing other than trustworthy & a good person tbh.
hilariousandco is explicitly endorsing the actions of an extortionist. This alone outweighs any and all other contributions to the community via moderating and otherwise.
If he is willing to endorse an extortionist, why would you believe he will not engage in extortion himself? Most extortion attempts are done with anon identities to protect one-self against the consequences of attempting extortion.
