Looks like you went private.

Yes, a lot of automated removals in the past month. But this time, I think we can get away with a 1 month pause.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You'd be better off letting Reddit nuke the sub.
All you're accomplishing by going private for a month is making everyone not invited slowy give up hope of your return. They might stop checking after a week or two.
Going boom at least causes some drama and lets you tell everyone where to go.
That's part of the plan, as in: the longer we are active, the more SJWs we attract who start reporting everything to the admins. When we're not active for a while and then come back, it gets quiet.
Every user gets an invitation. The problem is in that only people who ask get approved, which they may not. This time, I had some time to prepare for this (as opposed to the previous times when it was just the panic button), so I actually started approving people who weren't a while before.
I think you are very optimistic about anyone caring if we do get nuked. It'll probably be no different than going private.
Have you considered linking here?
It's been a while, but IIRC, reddit was blocking links to the .win sites.
We regularly do link here. Doing it too much may well backfire though, considering some of the spicy content here.
What is the reason this time?
Risk minimization basically. If you get too many removals, they will nuke you. By temporarily privating ourselves, we prevent thata.
I mean what were the removals for.
I cannot even generalize. Mostly ridiculous stuff, but with some truly bad (as in, actually violating their rules). A while back, they removed a comment for being insulting to Adolf Hitler. Their automated system doesn't work particularly well.
