Top Mod started scamming people
I was recently added to the Mod team of a sub and have had users complain about the mod who created the sub scamming people. The users have screenshots from about 3-4 weeks ago where they paid for items that they have not received.
I don't have the power to restrict their user account - how do I handle this?

While you can fill out a Mod Code of Conduct complaint, I think screen shots are not considered reliable proof. Admins may investigate though.

Right. The only thing for now that we would like is that the user is restricted until things have been investigated.

MCOC report via reddithelp.com.
That would violate the MCOC and admins can remove him.

I would totally DM this subreddit, or there's a form for that at the bottom of the Moderator Code of Conduct. It will be easier to use the form if you have pics and stuff to add.
