Reddit is sending strongly-worded messages to moderators of certain subreddits that are marked as NSFW (Not Safe For Work), telling them to remove the tag or face being removed.

The fact that reddit keeps making threats to moderators instead of taking immediate action is interesting. I guess they realize they’d be screwed without all that volunteer labor.

Reddit is afraid of its users. They know that being heavy handed on one will cause a way bigger backlash. Doing it to a few subs already caused the protest to swell.
