Reddit notifies private protesting community moderators of impending revocation of mod status

Reddit has issued a warning to moderators of private subreddits, giving them 48 hours to confirm if they plan to reopen the communities.

Reddit is cleaning up after its moderators that allegedly broke the code. Reddit was recently in chaos, but the company's solution is to remove these mods that allowed NSFW content to be known as safe for work subreddits as part of their protests against the new API pricing and policy.
