The method they are using is obscene. The mods log in, approve something, then are immediately logged out and locked out across the account. Every mod who tries to approve it has the same treatment.
It is like firing someone by putting a bag over their head and dragging you out onto the street. Kind of amusing to see.
I can't speak for other mods but the one making the complaint involved posting fruits and vegetables that could be construed as sexual to keep all the posts NSFW but avoid posting porn. That's what they nailed them for trying to approve.
Might just be one of the reasons mods get banned or he got caught up in the clusterfuck.
I visited a subreddit that was linked somewhere in those discussions (IIRC r/interestingasfuck) and it was 80% people complaining about porn and 20% porn. Which I found odd until I saw a comment in the archived thread above that mods were encouraging people to post porn to formerly SFW subs in protest.
While people in jobs specifically intended to misinform and sow discord are my enemy, I can sort of understand them needing money to provide for themselves because they lack any real skills or means to do so without being a cog in the system. This doesn't buy mercy, mind you, but at least there's an understanding it came from a cowardly and filthy attempt to not starve, pushing on other's heads to keep oneself float.
The reddit mods, however, now being thrown away like so much trash, did it all for free and that makes me belly laugh in pleasure. In this case, not just did it for free but paid money to do it for free. It just keeps getting funnier.
What is the full story?
Who would have thought you could get fired from an unpaid “job”
edit: People spent 10yrs volunteering for reddit and got fucked over :

As I understand it, these mods encouraged posting porn in SFW communities which is why they're being taken out back.
