MODERATORS
 

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Pretty ironic text. It's in part because of the trust put in moderators that they feel the need to protest / protest following that obligation.

They could care less unless it affects advertisers. I'm 90% sure they flipped it here because the shutdown for /r/piracy was linking over to dbzer0.

They want to eliminate any potential competition, and /r/piracy is a pretty large subreddit.

please say "couldn't care less"

could means the opposite to what you intend

Irregardless, the point was made clearly.

Yes I said "irregardless" just to piss you off.

C'mon, man. What's the internet without some grammar pedantry?

I think they just want to increase traffic (and thus ad revenue) regardless if the community about copyright infringement. Once this blows over, they'll ban r/piracy faster than a gamer can click the mouse button.
