Reddit's explanation (from an admin account, /u/ModCodeofConduct) is that 'encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces' counts as 'engaging in malicious conduct' that breaks the Moderator Code of Conduct.

To me it doesn't seem like they actually violated any Reddit policy or code of conduct, particularly because the NSFW content was properly labeled.

The same admin account was also caught quietly flipping the NSFW subs back to SFW status. So this is clearly just about getting back that monetization.

Given the mod team encouraged people to upload pictures of fruit and vegetables that were suggestive of butts and dicks and vulvas and such...

...no, it's clearly about someone at reddit raging out of control and grasping at straws to justify banhammering mods in a desperate attempt to save a ship that has split in two, is on fire, leaking radioactive waste, while sharks circle.

I've seen this happen on mailing lists and discussion boards where an admin/mod throws a major wobbly and just starts banning people like crazy for the slightest infractions to scare everyone else into "behaving." That's about when quietly someone who is respected pools together every email they can get their hands on and invites everyone to mailing list run elsewhere.
