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.
This actually doesn't tell the whole story, check /r/Undelete to see the deleted thread but it is fascinating.
They are bullying the biggest mods out of their positions if they don't cowtow.
What is the full story?
Who would have thought you could get fired from an unpaid “job”

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