I don't think Eliezer runs r/HPMOR/ ...

I seems like he does. While I've only gone to the site once the time I did (a few days ago) I saw drama about Eliezer censoring something on the subreddit and observing that this is why fan forums are better when not run by the author himself.

He's a moderator there, but he's not the top moderator, i.e. he acts at the whim of two moderators with more seniority who could remove him at any time.

who could remove him at any time.

I doubt this.

OK.

What evidence would cause you to change your mind?

Other authors being booted from forums discussing the stories that they wrote (whether primary or fanific).

Don't need to be a moderator to participate in a forum.

For an example, see user Dorikka.

But it would still be evidence, no? grin

More seriously, replace "booted" with "having their moderator-ship revoked or something of similar/greater severity" to produce a more accurate comment.
