Looks like the mods folded under pressure from the admins.

Anything related to this is deleted by the mods, control and silence for descent.

Wow how far Reddit has fallen.

Very suspicious. Something strange is happening, at least two subreddits on my radar have just unexpectedly reopened with unusually positive comments heavily upvoted despite being against the tone of everything before, I've seen others reporting similar.

Edit: Also, a thread was originally posted by someone questioning the opening up, it was quickly hidden (it got supportive replies) and is now locked. Edit again: in less than an hour there have been several such threads that have vanished.

I'm guessing admins are threatening to replace the mods and reddit mods being reddit mods are just desperate to hang on to their little bit of power. Either that or there no pressure and they just miss their modicum of power.

I can understand not wanting to have the community that they built taken away by force. Sucks though
