From what I’ve seen a lot of them are trolling the admins in the replies.

Stuff like:

As a former mod, I think there is no better choice for a new moderator of r/malefashionadvice than myself. My plan for the subreddit is simple. It’s time to put “male” back in malefashionadvice. That means mandatory penis inspections before anyone is allowed to give advice or post in WAYWT. If high school sports teams can do it, why can’t we? Thank you for your consideration.

I would like to moderate this subreddit. I think getting rid of third party apps and removing the mfa mod team were awesome decisions and I want to expand on those ideas as a new and improved mod. First obviously we would institute bans on anyone who has participated in the misguided reddit protests. Second to make sure that reddit is effectively monetizing we will ban direct links to clothing websites and instead link through a new reddit shopping portal. Lastly i would ban the word scab, its distracting people from the content.

I’d like to be a mod because I think Spez is a dishonest creep, as is everyone involved in the ModCodeofConduct account, and I pledge to do my very best to burn all your efforts to the ground.

There’s obviously going to be some begging for it, but I can’t tell which of those are actually wanting it, or pretending to want it just to troll more.
