    if forced to reopen, they should do it (rather than get pushed out and effectively give admins full control), but allow only a single new mod post every day- “day 5 of forced reopening discussion thread” and lock every other post.

      And get kicked off day 2 while the threads get deleted. Probably the most effective way is to just open and not do any moderating.

    If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening.

    Translation: please snitch and we’ll give you control of the subreddit. We don’t have enough staff to moderate all the subreddits ourselves.

    /r/pics polled their users: stay closed, or only allow pics of John Oliver looking sexy?

    They chose the latter.

    People are literally crossing the digital picket line to scab unpaid moderator positions to do free work for admins who are using intimidation tactics against their moderator peers.

    Reddit is doomed

    I hope the Reddit mods don’t crumble under the pressure Reddit is nothing without the community and its mods.
