I've been a member of centuryclub for a long time, which is for Reddit users with over 100k karma. Gallowboob has been posting photos of his ass on that sub for years and was open about the city he lived in and what he did for work. Its hard to feel bad for him here; he should have known what he was getting himself into.

Additionally, much of that "precious" karma he has is from gaming reddit. He will (re)post something and if it doesn't gain traction in a short amount of time, he'll delete it and repost it. He does this over and over until the post takes off. In the past, it would be fun to watch his profile and see posts jump from "posted 30 min ago" to "posted just now" over and over again.

Case in point. I was digging around a bit after my initial comment and found this post[1]
It's crazy how little I found about well known stuff. When trolling and provoking he also deletes his own comments once they get downvoted too much, and I could hardly find anything that documents it, even though it's far from a secret

Yup. A long time ago I was mouthing off in a sub about gallowboob. He threw a shit fit and had the admins ban me.
The whole site is rotten, and completely opaque. They say one thing, and do another. Fresh blood is something reddit sorely needs.
He is not only known for being a reddit power user, he's also infamous for abusing his mod powers, and being provocative and elitist towards people calling him out, mocking, trolling or banning them. He took over and wiped out a sub that tracked his abuse of mod powers. On the big subs he's controlling people got banned frequently for calling him out, long before this more recent drama. These whole theatrics have been going on for years. I've been targeted by him in the past, sadly I can't dig it up because reddit's comment history only goes back so far.
