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.

Moderators should have thought of all the people that can't live without their daily "fix" before interrupting their volunteer work for a few days, right.
