We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it.

Mods should not make malicious changes to their communities, such as allowing rule-violating behavior or encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces."

This is my first post, also fuck Spez

Is there actually a particular rule against turning SFW subs into NSFW subs?

Or is Reddit just desperately trying to interpret their rules in whatever way they desire because they're panicking at losing revenue?

I don't think there are any moderator rules at all. Reddit is just doing anything they can get away with, which is what corporations do anyway.

I am a bit surprised at how slipshod they are about it though, I'd have expected them to hammer out an action plan and then trigger it all in the same hour, but we're getting this slow trickle of changes which suggests that they don't have a plan at all, but are just sort of flailing.

... which suggests that they don't have a plan at all, ...

That was apparent when they initially announced the exorbitant API charges with essentially zero notice.

They clearly just never realized that what made Reddit valuable was the mods not the servers

Maybe the real reddit was the mods we made along the way
