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.
Good bye Reddit, I deleted my profile to never return. XD
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.
What’s crazy is that Reddit admins have so much more to lose by removing these moderators than the mods themselves do, but the mods have somehow convinced themselves that they have to stay, no matter how bad it is.

Theoretically, for a large sub like pics or military, if every mod held strong and was removed, would Reddit step in and find moderators or moderate themselves?
