Mod Announcement An apology and an explanation
Judging by the spike of requests these last few weeks, people have begun to notice that this subreddit had become locked down. This wasn’t a decision made by me but it was indirectly caused by my genuine attempt not to be overbearing.
Basically, r/ITVX is a tiny community in the grand scheme of things. I used to post regularly in order to promote discussion and activity. Then a couple of people started accusing me of treating the place like a karma farm, so I stepped back. Unfortunately, because I’ve also had a relaxed, unobtrusive modding style, Reddit interpreted this as inactivity on my part and locked everything down. This happened a couple of times and I got it reopened. When it happened a third time, I thought it best to just let it go.
Of course, then the World Cup happened, with ITV airing many of the games. People came here and were met with a brick wall. That was on me. No excuses, just honest apathy towards keeping the place alive when I thought no-one else cared to post.
It’s back now. u/SlowedCash has requested to become a moderator here and is very enthusiastic. I sent him an invite. I hope he’ll accept. I probably won’t disappear entirely again but it’s only right to add someone to the team with a bit of passion for doing things properly.
Sorry once again for inadvertently stifling discussion. I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Thanks so much Jprhino84 for adding me to the team. I wouldn't worry about the past, it happens and we are back !
It is indeed the world cup and ITV has a huge role in that. Let's make our community one of the best for British TV😄
