How much did you hate those mechanical singers by the end of your tenure?
Also, any all out brawls?

Announcement to Alexis: you're chill, but you have to stop hiding Roy's sockpuppets behind modchats!
Dacvak: By the way, this might be a good time to remind everyone that anything discussed in #reddit-modtalk is completely confidential and not to be made public.
krmanaut_: yes, I'm phoy
Dacvak: Good game.
redstonehelper: lol
Skuld: krmanaut_ learns about IP addresses today
Skuld pats krmanaut_
puredemo: wow
rnbws: looool
bep: krmanaut_: ?-N
puredemo: my mind is blown
Skuld: I would like to remind everyone that this is a private IRC channel
Deeper than that. Tensions have run high between BEP, AS1986, and others and Roy's alts for a while in moderator circles. This was the manifestation of Roy feuding with Shitty on a personal level (Roy "had a spat" with Shitty under the auspices of "Redditnoir") and other mods finally telling Roy to cool it.
Here's some fun mod logs to give you some insight into how long mods have known about Roy's power grabs.

"bep: PHOY just replied to an internal IAMA post going "we're in IRC right now"
andrewsmith: we vote in mod subreddits
bep: only
bep: PHOY isn't here
andrewsmith: about new rules
bep: krmanaut_ is though
Skuld: busted "
bep: i better not also find out that everyone on here is actually krmanaut_.
bep: because then
TheSkyNet: bep: use a shill next time
bep: i will just explode
"krmanaut_: i also mod bestof under a third name
bep: qg doesn't just have that rule in modclub
andrewsmith: bechus
krmanaut_: yeah
krmanaut_: but people already know that one
Skuld: yeah, everyone knew about that one
rnbws: damn
rnbws: I thought that account modded /r/aww
andrewsmith: I knew for sure when you pmed me when phoy passed me up
bep: i asked PHOY to mod /r/politics because i thought he was a freshman
bep: now i find out this?
bep: i'm severely annoyed
rnbws: rofl
krispykrackers: oh bep, this has been quite a day for you
Skuld: he's not fresh, he's a seasoned karmawhore
puredemo: no wonder PHOY never seems to have time to respond to anything
bep: krispykrackers: exactly
rnbws: it's obvious
bep: krispykrackers: did resilience EVER respond?
bep: is karmanaut = resilience as well
krispykrackers: not a peep
krmanaut_: wait
krmanaut_: what's the deal with resilience
Skuld: I PMd Reslience too, that guy is dead
alienth: now i feel it is time to reveal that krispykrackers == violentacrez(This is interesting if not said in jest.)
bep: then krispykrackers: i formally request you remove him from /r/comics."
I love me some gossip!

How did the defense go? Was it more of a formality than anything? I have been to a philosophical dissertation defense, which was underwhelming and ceremonial more than anything...my defense in meta-ethics is coming up in 2-3 years, I am terrified.
Congratulations though, your shoulders must have felt a hell of a lot lighter these past two days.

He was banned for a while by Roy (Karmanaut/PHOY/Reddiotnoir/bechus) when he surpassed Roy in Karma, but then the ravenous hoards of murdering users called for Roy's head on the proverbial stake and Shitty was allowed back after stanch defenses were made in his name by a collective of high ranking mods.
Details.
Just for reddit kicks, theories abound that Roy was Mrohhai in addition to the above alts.
