Ugh are you serious when the hell did this happen. So all you need to do to qualify these days is spam out of your ass. 
Homeboy actually reported a lot of posts (accurately), so it's better to have him on staff now instead of just putting in tons of reports!
Well I'm glad you think that way. I thought you might not be too impressed by the decision. Glad to help out/be on the team though.
Wasn't there an anti-hilariosandco mob that wanted him banned or something? I remember skimming through some kind of thread like that. And now coincidentally, he becomes a mod 
Well there's always one or two... usually one user and a few of his alts complaining because he himself was banned on another account.
And thanks again to the above users.
