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.

and back that normal experience of millions of readers of those subreddits.

Which was earned via moderation and 3rd party apps

>>cyanyd+pe
time will show if old mods and 3p apps are that critical, since both are removed now.

>>riku_i+5l
time already shew, since the subreddits exist as they are now

obviously taking what they built and saying "I built this" wouldn't show anything but spez's pettiness

>>ImPost+oz
reddit team's contribution in "building" is not smaller than those mods.

>>riku_i+I22
of course it is: reddit hosts bulletin boards, the community (mods included) built the subreddits (both creating content and attracting new users to them)

>>ImPost+jp2
Ok, looks like you realized that mods just are part of community who built subreddits.

And current power mods who declared they own subreddits also not all mods (current and past), but unknown share of them.
