The reddit page registered by the Counterparty Team is reddit.com/r/counterparty_xcp

Important clarification:reddit.com/r/counterparty was not registered by the Counterparty team; it was registered by prophetx, who is the communications lead for Mastercoin; reddit.com/r/xcp was also not reigstered by the Counterparty team, and both of its moderators appear to be associated with Mastercoin, as well.

I have this one registered and can turn it over:
http://www.reddit.com/r/XCPCounterparty/

Thanks very much, SyRenity, I've PMed you.

The concern re: /r/xcp and /r/counterparty is not that their moderators may be Mastercoin investors, but that their statuses within Mastercoin (ProphetX as an employee and r00tdem0n and mavensbot as /r/mastercoin moderators) suggests very strongly that their position as moderators on Counterparty subreddits poses a serious conflict of interest, especially since, as far as I know, r00tdem0n and mavensbot have not been active participants on this bitcointalk thread.
Could you talk to them to ask them for taking over these two groups or you have tried but they refused?

I have not yet contacted them. Unless I am mistaken, since they registered the subreddits, they will always be moderators, and hence the conflict of interest cannot be completely removed.

Going forward, the best thing to do is be very active on the subreddit registered by the Counterparty team, to, at least minimize the ambiguity as to which subreddit is "the Counterparty subreddit".
